Can I get admission in an LLB after doing a BA from YCMOU?

YCMOU is an open university that has been recognized by the UGC. Students are required to meet certain criteria when it comes to securing admissions at the institute. While one can definitely continue with a degree in LLB after BA, here are some specific details about the BA degree from YCMOU.

Eligibility, Fees, and about the Course:

• The program goes on for a duration of 3 years and students must pass 10+2 to be eligible for the same.

• Multiple specializations are provided with this degree in areas including general consumer services, mass communication, journalism, spirituality, etc.

• Specializations are also provided in languages like Urdu, English, and Hindi.

• The total fee for the entire course is about INR 4,500.

Course Curriculum:

• The course is divided into three years in which students will learn a diverse number of topics depending on the specialization chosen.

• A compulsory foundation course is included in the first year with topics ranging from history, social sciences, humanities, etc.

• Topics to study in English include reading a novel, short story along with subjects like environmental sciences.

• Much of the course material (except languages) seems to be in the language of Marathi.

Eligibility for LLB:

• The prerequisite for an LLB degree is that the student must be a graduate with at least 50% marks.

• Depending on the university one applies to, one may have to give an entrance exam as well.

Thus, all students who have successfully completed the BA degree are eligible for the LLB program. This poses quite an advantage as one can appear for civil and judicial services later in life despite doing a degree in the form of distance education. Thus, YCMOU is a good option for BA in order to pursue LLB.
