Sangam University Offers First Time in Bhilwara 5 year Integrated BBA LLB Program

Bhilwara, July 16, 2014 (Newswire.com) - The law aspirants not only figure themselves in courts but mark the presence in various corporate houses, law agencies, law firms, litigation, administrative services and many more. Earlier it was seen that the law has become a family profession. The families had been choosing law as professions for generations. But the scene has changed today, anyone having the traits and passion for this field can opt for the course and could achieve what he / she has set for.

For several decades, getting a Law degree after 10+2 schooling used to take 6 years – 3 years for getting say a BA or BCom or BBA followed by 3 years for LLB. The 5 year integrated Law program after 10+2 has enabled law students to develop and hone skills across a wide spectrum. Students get to pursue two reputed degrees at the same time. If they do both separately, they would take minimum 6 years so this course would save them one whole academic year.

The five year course is meant for those who want to take up law as a career- be it as a litigator, or any other kind of legal professional. In this era of corporate India, having business skills and legal knowledge is very beneficial for both students and the nation.

BBA LLB is a five year programme by integration of management and business subjects with law as against BA LLB which is an integration of arts subjects with law and BSc LLB which is an integration of science subjects with law. However the career opportunities for both these courses are same. Both graduates can work as lawyer, legal advisor, law reporter, legal assistant, etc depending on their skills and experience.

For those who are keen on corporate law, mergers and acquisitions etc BBA LLB would have an edge over BA LLB which focuses more on public policy or BSc LLB which focuses more on techno legal disputes. To get an integrated understanding of the interrelationship of Management Studies and Law in their entirety than in specified areas, BBA LLB is the best bet. Over the last decade, BBA LLB has been attracting a large number of youngsters who have completed their 10+2.

The courses in Business Administration covers a vast spectrum of the contemporary areas of managerial relevance and provides the students an opportunity to focus on strategies to manage business in fast-evolving global environments, with a strong emphasis on entrepreneurship, the impact of technology on commerce, managing the emerging markets of Asia and other global issues. Study of these courses will enable the students to develop a competitive edge over their counterparts in other institutions and help in taking them to the zenith of their career.
