Top Private Law Colleges In India 2018

Team Exambazaar

LL.B. or Bachelor of Legislative Law is a law degree that is chosen by students who aspire to pursue challenging law careers. Law is one of the most sought-after career domains in India; its popularity can be perceived by the numbers of candidates appearing for the prestigious CLAT examination every year. The number of CLAT applicants have increased from 10,500 in 2008 to 50,676 in 2017, an increase of 18% annually! It can be attributed to the fact that the 3 year LL.B. or the 5 year B.A.LL.B. degrees open up a plethora of career opportunities in traditional criminal law, corporate law or niche law fields like bankruptcy or entertainment law.

Hence, it is not surprising that the competition to get into the Best Law Colleges in India is increasing exponentially. While NLUs have traditionally topped the overall rankings for top law colleges in India, private law colleges are not far behind. Several top private law colleges in India are in fact better than a few NLUs. Thus, along with CLAT and AILET, you should aim for law entrance exams for these private colleges which have their own exams. An added benefit is that you don’t need to put all your eggs in one basket!

Without further ado, here’s a peek into the Top 10 Private Law Colleges in India approved by the Bar Council of India.

While attempting different examinations increases your chances of getting into the best law colleges, it is very important for you to prepare for these exams with complete dedication. Preparing for CLAT and other law entrance exams needs a focused strategy as most of you would attempt the exam along with boards. A disciplined routine giving time to regular studies and mock test practice helps an aspirant crack law entrance exams. Here’s a detailed CLAT Preparation Strategy by Aditya Shrivastava, an NLU grad and ex-faculty at CLAT coaching classes, that you may find helpful. One preparation hack we highly recommend is attempting Previous Year CLAT Question Papers. Every paper will help you learn from your mistakes and will familiarize you with exam pressure. This will help you be confident on the exam day!

Good Luck!
