West Bengal National University of Juridical Sciences offers a comprehensive range of law programmes designed to develop legal professionals and scholars. The flagship undergraduate programme is a five-year integrated BA LLB degree, which combines liberal arts education with rigorous legal training. NUJS also offers a two-year Master of Laws (LLM) programme for law graduates seeking advanced specialization in various areas of law including constitutional law, commercial law, and human rights law.

As a central government university, NUJS maintains significantly lower fee structures compared to private law institutions, making quality legal education accessible to merit-based students. The undergraduate BA LLB programme follows a semester-based curriculum with continuous assessment and examination. The university emphasizes both theoretical knowledge and practical skills through moot courts, legal clinics, and internship opportunities with law firms and judicial institutions.

Admission to the BA LLB programme is merit-based, typically through the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) or equivalent national entrance examination. Eligible candidates must have completed 10+2 or equivalent qualification from a recognized board. The LLM programme requires candidates to hold a bachelor's degree in law (three-year or five-year). NUJS Kolkata maintains a strong reputation for legal research, faculty expertise, and placements in the Indian legal sector, attracting students aspiring for careers in advocacy, judiciary, corporate law, and academia.
