Rai University Ahmedabad L.L.B : Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. The 3-year L.L.B. is a postgraduate-entry law programme designed for candidates who have already completed a bachelor's degree in any stream. It focuses exclusively on law subjects across 6 semesters. The 5-year integrated programmes (BA-LLB and BBA-LLB) are for students entering directly after Class 12, combining an undergraduate degree with law education. If you have already completed graduation (B.A., B.Com., B.Sc., B.Tech., etc.) and wish to pursue law, the 3-year L.L.B. is the appropriate choice. If you are a Class 12 student planning a legal career from the start, the 5-year integrated programme is more efficient. Both programmes are BCI-recognised and lead to the same eligibility for enrolment as an advocate.

Ans. AILCET (All India Law Common Entrance Test) is not mandatory for L.L.B. admission at Rai University. The university accepts both AILCET scores and direct merit-based admissions based on graduation marks. AILCET is a national-level entrance test for law programmes conducted by the All India Law Entrance Test authority. The exam tests candidates on Legal Aptitude, General Knowledge, English Language, and Logical Reasoning. Appearing for AILCET may improve your chances of admission and scholarship eligibility. The AILCET 2026 exam was held on April 25, 2026, with results declared on April 27, 2026.
