UGC one year LLM programme 2014

academic year 2014 UGC to introduce one-year LLM programme

After a lot of discussion and conferences, the University Grants Commission (UGC) has decided to introduce a one-year LLM programme in universities from academic year 2013-14. An expert committee constituted by the UGC has submitted the guidelines for introduction of the one-year LLM programme.

The programme will be introduced only in universities/ institutions with a centre for post graduate legal studies.

The universities fulfilling guidelines will be allowed to conduct the one-year programme.

The main reason the UGC is converting the two-year programme to a one-year course is to prevent brain drain of law students.

Developed countries have one-year post graduation programme. Indian students prefer to study and
subsequently work there which is a major cause for worry for our country. UGC prescribes 90 days of compulsory teaching for LLB courses.
