St Aloysius (Deemed To Be University) Mangalore L.L.B {Hons.} : Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. Yes, the LLB (Hons.) programme at St Aloysius (Deemed To Be University) was launched in the 2025-26 academic year after the Bar Council of India (BCI) granted recognition to the university's School of Law under the Advocates' Act. The programme is approved for academic years 2025-26 and 2026-27 and adheres to the Rules of Legal Education, 2008. Being a BCI-recognised programme, graduates are eligible to enrol as advocates with the Bar Council after clearing the All India Bar Examination (AIBE).

Ans. The LLB (Hons.) programme at St Aloysius offers two Honours specialisation streams. The Constitutional Law track covers subjects like Citizenship & Immigration, Comparative Constitutions, Gender Justice & Feminist Jurisprudence, Right to Information, Health Law, Media & Law, Human Rights Law & Practice, and Legislative Drafting. The Business Law track covers Banking Law, Investment Law, Insurance Law, Bankruptcy & Insolvency, Competition Law, Mergers & Acquisitions, Law on Infrastructure Development, and Law on Corporate Finance. Students choose one track and pursue it across all 6 semesters through dedicated Honours papers.

Ans. St Aloysius conducts its own entrance test called the SAU-ET (St Aloysius University Entrance Test) for admissions to the LLB (Hons.) programme. The SAU-ET is an online test of 1 hour with 50 MCQs covering General Knowledge, Aptitude, English, and subject-oriented questions. While CLAT is the national-level law entrance exam, St Aloysius does not rely on CLAT scores for its admissions process; candidates must appear for the SAU-ET and a subsequent personal interview. Final selection is based on academic performance, SAU-ET score, and interview performance.

Ans. The programme places strong emphasis on experiential learning. Students participate in moot court exercises, client counselling sessions, legal aid clinics, and court visits throughout the programme. Structured internships are embedded within the curriculum (Semester 3 and Semester 6). The School of Law also houses The Resolution Lab under The Aloysius PeaceTable, a Centre for Alternative Dispute Resolution, where students engage with real-world dispute resolution scenarios. The programme culminates in a dissertation in the final semester, requiring independent legal research.

Ans. The total fee for the 3-year LLB (Hons.) programme for Karnataka students is Rs. 2,02,500 (including tuition fee of Rs. 62,000/year and examination fee of Rs. 5,500/year). For Non-Karnataka students, the total is Rs. 2,32,500. Several scholarships are available, including management scholarships like Vidwath Spoorthi (for students scoring 95%+ in qualifying exams) and Vidya Spoorthi (need-cum-merit, 60%+), as well as government scholarships for SC/ST, OBC, minority, and economically weaker section students through the SSP and NSP portals. The PM-Vidyalaxmi scheme also provides collateral-free education loans up to Rs. 10 lakhs for eligible students.

Ans. As per the Bar Council of India's Rules of Legal Education, 2008, the maximum age limit for admission to the 3-year LLB (Hons.) programme is 30 years for General category candidates, with a relaxation of up to 5 years for SC/ST/OBC candidates. Working professionals who hold a bachelor's degree in any discipline with the required minimum marks (45% for General, 40% for SC/ST) are eligible to apply. However, since this is a full-time on-campus programme, candidates are expected to attend classes regularly. The programme is not offered in distance or part-time mode.
