Dear Student,

Yes, LLB courses are offered in a regular mode at Ranchi University under the UG degree of BA LLB, which is an integrated course providing knowledge of both arts as well as law subjects simultaneously. The course is offered for a duration of five years, wherein the student has to complete both core and elective subjects along with practicals and internships.
