What degree will you study for?

SoLJ offers a 5-year law degree (BA., LL.B) affiliated to Karnataka State Law University. Our law degree curriculum is designed by a board of studies that comprises leading practitioners of law from India and globally. Our curriculum reflects our commitment as a law school to produce lawyers for high-impact global careers in law.

What is the selection process?

Our selection process has two parts:

• Our online application form is the first stage of selection, where we assess the academic fitness and extra-curricular performance of candidates.
  
• Shortlisted students take an online assessment, which is designed to identify potential to excel as a lawyer and a public-spirited citizen in a manner that multiple choice entrance exams cannot. The assessment engages candidates in exercises and simulations that assess their potential to excel as a lawyer.
  
• Candidates who successfully pass the assessment are given offer letters. The offer letter will include details of merit or need based scholarships awarded.
