Several Maharashtra Law Colleges Excluded from First Round of LLB Admissions Due to Approval Issues
In Maharashtra's centralised admission process for three-year and five-year LLB programmes, several prominent law colleges were missing from the first round's list due to not securing Bar Council of India (BCI) approval and university affiliation. This exclusion affected about 125 three-year and 105 five-year course colleges, limiting participation to 93 and 56 colleges respectively. The BCI requires institutions to meet standards including qualified faculty, full-time principals, and infrastructure. Colleges have been given additional time to complete approval for future rounds.
