The degree of law in India is currently offered by many universities and at various academic levels.

The Law degree started in India in the year 1987 as a three-year programme granted under the Advocate Act, 1961. Note the BCI (Bar Council of India) is the chief regulatory body of our Law education.

The “Law Commission of India” decided to set up a University for Law Education to raise the academic standard of the legal profession in India in the year 1985. After that, the first law University in India got formed in Banglore, which was named as the “National Law School of India University” commonly known as the “NLS”. That was the time when the first LLB degree was started in India.

On September 2012, the UGC established the LLM one-year course in India.
