TNNLU BA LLB and BCom LLB Fees 2026

At INR 13.35 Lakhs for five years under General quota, the integrated law degrees at TNNLU are priced in line with other state NLUs. The fee structure is identical for BA LLB Hons and BCom LLB Hons — a student who opts for the commerce stream over the arts stream pays no premium. Admission to both programmes is through CLAT (Common Law Admission Test) and seats are allotted by the Consortium of National Law Universities. NRI quota seats, filled through CLAT NRI scores, carry a total fee of INR 25.27 Lakhs — a premium of INR 11.92 Lakhs over the General quota for the same five-year programme.

The year-wise fee structure shows a step down after year one. Year 1 costs INR 2,98,930 — INR 40,000 higher than the INR 2,58,930 charged for each subsequent year. The higher Year 1 charge reflects one-time admission and registration components that do not recur in years 2 to 5.
