It is a subjective comparison but students can decide which is better for them if they relate the degree to the kind of environment of law they want to work in: B.A, LL.B gives the student a more sociological outlook towards laws. Therefore, they function better as litigation lawyers and educationalists. On the other hand, BB.A, LL.B gives a more business oriented outlook towards law, which helps develop a niche in corporate laws. Therefore, it is safe to presume that both degrees are at par with each other but the outcome of the two solely would depend upon the student and his/her intention to pursue a particular course.
