The Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Laws (BA-LLB) program is a comprehensive academic journey that combines humanities and law. This one-of-a-kind course provides a solid legal basis while cultivating the critical thinking and analytical skills inherent in the arts. Exploring the scope of the BA-LLB reveals a plethora of potential in subjects such as business law, human rights, and international relations. With a deep awareness of societal processes, graduates are prepared to negotiate the difficulties of legal practice. Furthermore, the program provides a stepping stone for students wishing to pursue higher legal studies, encouraging a lifelong quest for knowledge in an ever-changing legal context.

Career opportunity:- BA-LLB graduates can pursue rewarding employment in both the public and private sectors. There are opportunities in state and federal government agencies, private law companies, and independent practitioners. Graduates will be able to handle the complexities of the legal landscape thanks to the legal knowledge learned during the course.

Earning Potential:- New BA-LLB graduates typically earn between INR 3 and 6 LPA. This figure, however, can vary depending on placement success, internships, and individual performance. Some graduates may secure higher salaries, reflecting the increased demand for specialized legal experts.

After completing the BA-LLB, individuals might seek higher certifications to broaden their legal knowledge. Master of Legislative Law (LLM) programs at famous schools such as the University of Mumbai, the University of Delhi, NLSIU Bangalore, and NALSAR Hyderabad offer opportunities for specialization.

Specialized Courses: In addition to regular degrees, BA-LLB graduates can pursue a variety of specialized courses. An M. Phil in Law is one of these, as are professional certificate and certification courses such as a certification in Cyber Law, a Diploma in Labour Law, and a PG Diploma in Corporate Law. Individuals can use these programs to narrow their attention to certain areas of interest within the legal arena.
