BCI Approves Maharashtra Law Colleges; Bombay HC Grants Attendance Relief to ILS Students
The Bar Council of India (BCI) granted one-time conditional approval to over 100 Maharashtra law colleges for the 2026-27 academic year, allowing them to participate in the ongoing Common Admission Process after meeting compliance requirements by August 31. Separately, the Bombay High Court extended one-time relief to Indian Law Society's Law College students barred from semester-end exams due to attendance shortages, ordering supplementary exams for affected students based on a Supreme Court directive. Both measures address recent challenges in legal education access in Maharashtra.
