About The course
The LL.B degree is offered under four schemes of examination and the students must elect at the time of registration which they wish to follow.
Scheme A is a three-year course and Scheme B is done over four years. Students study the same number of subjects except that in Scheme B they are spread over a longer period. There are also two graduate entry routes for those who already hold a degree in another subject. Graduate entry routes A and B comprise a two-year and three-year course respectively.
