IPU Law Admission Through CUET (UG): BA-LLB & BBA-LLB Guide

Last Updated: 6 May 2026

How CUET Works for IPU Law (BA-LLB & BBA-LLB) 2026-27

Per Section 1.1 ("At a Glance") of the GGSIPU UG Admission Brochure 2026-27, the 5-year Integrated Law admission at IP University (Programme Code 121 — covering Integrated BA-LLB Hons, BA-LLB, Integrated BBA-LLB Hons and BBA-LLB) is structured as a two-tier merit list:

1. First preference: National Level Test — CLAT UG 2026 (Common Law Admission Test conducted by the Consortium of National Law Universities).
2. Second pathway: CUET (UG) 2026 # — used to fill vacant seats remaining after CLAT-based counselling rounds (Important Instruction #37).

A Law aspirant who only has a CUET score (and not CLAT) is still admissible — through the CUET vacant-seat round and through the management quota route at IPU's affiliated Law colleges.

Important: The above applies only to the 5-year Integrated Law programme (Code 121). The 3-year LLB programme (Code 238) is admitted only through GGSIPU CET 2026 — CUET does NOT apply for 3-year LLB per Chapter 2 of the brochure.

Eligibility for Integrated Law via CUET (Programme Code 121)

Per Chapter 2 of the brochure:

• Pass in Class 12 (10+2) of CBSE or equivalent with a minimum of 50% marks in aggregate* and must also have passed English (core / elective / functional) as a subject.
• * "Aggregate of 50% marks in the 12th class for the purpose of eligibility will be taken as the aggregate of the best four subjects (unless otherwise specified) including English."
• Reserved categories (SC/ST/OBC/PwD): standard 5% relaxation per university policy.
• Marks are not rounded off — 49.99% will not become 50% (Important Instruction #28).

BCI Bar (Critical): Per Chapter 2 of the brochure quoting BCI Letter BCI:D:1823/2010 (LE) dated 31.11.2010: "The applicants who have obtained 10+2 or graduation/post graduation through Open Universities system directly without having any basic qualification for prosecuting such students are not eligible for admission in the law courses." If your Class 12 was through NIOS / Open Schooling without a regular pre-qualification, you cannot be admitted to IPU Integrated Law — CUET score notwithstanding.

CUET (UG) Subject Papers Required for IPU Law

Per Chapter 2, Programme Code 121 (Domain Specific Subjects column), candidates appearing in CUET (UG) for IPU Integrated Law should attempt:

• Section IA — English (Code 101)
• Section II — Legal Studies
• Section III — General Aptitude Test (Code 501)

English is mandatory since the BCI requires English as a Class 12 subject. Legal Studies is the most directly aligned domain paper. General Aptitude Test covers the analytical reasoning, current affairs and quantitative reasoning that overlap with CLAT.

Per Section 1.2 of the brochure: paper-mapping shown above is from CUET 2025; final CUET 2026 paper structure will be notified by GGSIPU before counselling.

Integrated Law Programmes Available Under Programme Code 121

All four programmes below are admitted through CLAT (primary) + CUET (vacant-seat / management quota):

• 5-year Integrated BA-LLB (Honours)
• 5-year Integrated BA-LLB (non-honours, where offered)
• 5-year Integrated BBA-LLB (Honours)
• 5-year Integrated BBA-LLB (non-honours, where offered)

BBA-LLB pathways suit students inclined toward corporate / commercial law. BA-LLB is the broader liberal-arts route — constitutional, criminal, civil and human rights specialisations.

Management Quota Through CUET — Integrated Law

Per Chapter 12 of the brochure, every unaided affiliated Law college reserves 10% of its total seats as Management Quota. A valid CUET (UG) score is one of the three accepted qualifiers:

• Eligibility: Class 12 with 50% aggregate (best 4 including English) plus a valid CLAT / IPU CET / CUET score (Instruction #21 + Chapter 12 Note 2).
• BCI bar still applies — Open School candidates without basic qualification cannot apply, even via management quota.
• Application: Apply directly to the college during the 18-day window advertised in 2 newspapers (Hindi + English).
• Registration fee cap: Rs. 2,500 per the Admission Regulatory Committee.
• Last date: 9 calendar days after the regular reporting date of the last GGSIPU counselling round.
• Aggregate calculation: Best 5 subjects including English and the mandatory subjects (per Chapter 12, "For UG Programme").
