Frequently Asked Questions - LLB Fees
Three-year LLB fees in government law colleges and universities range from ₹10,000-₹50,000 per year. Private law colleges charge ₹50,000-₹3 Lakh annually. Some premier institutions like Faculty of Law, Delhi University, offer very affordable legal education.
Per-year costs may be similar, but the total programme cost is lower for 3-year LLB since it is shorter. However, 3-year LLB requires a prior graduation degree, so the total educational investment includes the undergraduate degree cost.
