B. Sc final yr students can apply for AILET 3YS Program courses?
Hi
Which 3 year program are you asking about?
AILET examination is conducted to offer following programs :-
*BA LLB ( 5 year integrated llb)
*LLM ( master of law - 2 years)
You are not eligible for llm or master of law as to be eligible you need to do undergraduate in law i. e llb or equivalent first .
To do llb ,one has 2 options :-
* 5 year integrated llb like ba llb, after 12th
* llb, 3 year after graduation
So , after bsc, you can go for 3 year llb but AILET is not the entrance exam for the same.
You can go for DU llb or bhu llb entrance examination, as they offer 3 year llb.
And yes being, a final year student you will be eligible for 3 year LLB entrance examinations
For example,
Here's du llb eligibility criteria :-
*To be eligible you need to be a graduate in any discipline from a recognised University and must have got at least 50% in graduation if belong to general category or 45% belong to OBC category for 40% belong to Sc or St category to be eligible.

sir mera b.com ka final year h aur mera dream l.l.b krna ka h to kya m ClLAT aur AILET ka form bhr skti hu is br
Hello,
I presume it's CLAT that you're enquiring about, first of all CLAT is conducted for admission of integrated law programs at undergraduate level, it's not for three year LLB course, and even for AILET which is conducted by National Law University, it offers only integrated law program at undergraduate level, you can check out the details at the official website at https://nludelhi.ac.in/home.aspx , admission to LLB varies as per the norms of the concerned university, for some it's based on the merit of the qualifying examination, to provide you an example The Tamilnadu Dr BR Ambedkar University offers LLB without any entrance exam, some of the top entrance exams for LLB are DU LLB by Delhi University, LAT by Allahabad University, BHU UET by Banaras Hindu University,LSAT scores are accepted by many universities, there are also state level law entrance exams for three years LLB such as TS LAWCET in Telangana, AP LAWCET in Andhra Pradesh, KLEE in Kerala, MHT CET LAW in Maharastra etc, the eligibility criteria is passed graduation in any stream from a recognized university with 45-50% aggregate(this again varies in case of DU, BHU they need 50% marks at graduation), generally final year candidates too are eligible to apply provided they can show the proof of their qualifying examination during the time of admission, so kindly check out the details for the university for which you're interested to apply for the same.
