Introduction
Choosing to study law is a big decision and one that comes with a range of considerations, including which college to attend and how to finance your studies. This guide covers some of the key points to bear in mind when it comes to studying law at college, including an overview of the different types of courses available and the fees you can expect to pay.
There are a number of different types of law courses available at colleges across the country. The most common is the five-year undergraduate degree (or the BA LLB programs offered by National Law Universities and other Universities in India), which covers the basic principles of law and is the first step towards becoming a qualified solicitor, advocate, lawyer or a legal professional.
The fees for studying law at college vary depending on the type of course and the institution you attend. However, you can expect to pay between INR 50,000 and INR 700,000 per year for an undergraduate degree, depending on the Law school you opt for.
There are a number of financial support options available to help with the costs of studying law, including scholarships, bursaries and government loans. Whether you're looking to become a qualified lawyer or simply wanting to learn more about the legal system, studying law at college can be a great choice. With a wide range of courses available and a range of costs to consider, be sure to do your research to find the right course for you.
