Best PU Law Entrance Coaching in Chandigarh 2026 – Surya Law Academy

Panjab University offers two main law programs – BA LLB 5-Year (integrated after Class 12) at UILS and LLB 3-Year (after graduation) at UILS and PU Law Department. Both lead to the same law degree, but the entry point and exam pattern differ significantly. Choosing the right program depends on your current education level and long-term career plan.

PU BA LLB (5-Year): Ideal for Class 12 students who are certain about law as a career. The integrated program combines Arts subjects with Law over 10 semesters.

This tests deeper legal reasoning and conceptual understanding of BNS/IPC, Torts, Contract Act and Constitutional Law. View complete 3-Year detailed topic list →
