ILS Pune BA + L.L.B : Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. No, ILS Pune does not accept CLAT scores for BA LLB admission. CLAT is used exclusively for admission to National Law Universities (NLUs) across India. ILS Pune admits BA LLB students only through the MAH 5-Yr LLB CET (MH CET Law 5-year) conducted by Maharashtra State CET Cell, followed by the centralised CAP counselling process at cetcell.mahacet.org.

Ans. ILS Pune is among the most competitive law colleges in Maharashtra and the General/Open category closing percentile for BA LLB at ILS Pune has consistently been above 99.02 in recent CAP rounds. Reserved category cutoffs are lower but remain competitive at above 96 for OBC and above 81 for ST categories. Candidates should check the official cetcell.mahacet.org cutoff list after each CAP round.

Ans. BA LLB graduates from ILS Pune can pursue careers in corporate law at top law firms, civil or criminal litigation at Bombay High Court, judiciary services through Maharashtra Public Service Commission, academia, and legal advisory roles in corporates or banks. Campus placement connects students with top law firms in Mumbai. The college’s alumni include practicing advocates and judges across Maharashtra courts.

Ans. ILS Pune does not have its own residential hostel on campus. Students typically arrange private accommodation in the Law College Road and Deccan Gymkhana areas near the college, where a large number of private paying-guest facilities and rental accommodations are available. The college administration can assist new students with guidance on nearby accommodation options.

Ans. ILS Pune campus placements for the 2023-24 batch showed an average package of INR 6 to 8 LPA with the highest package reaching INR 20 to 22 LPA offered by top-tier firms like Trilegal. The campus placement rate for registered students was 25%, as a large share of law graduates from ILS Pune pursue litigation, judiciary, or off-campus roles independently.
