JGLS Undergraduate (UG) Fees 2026

UG-level options at JGLS include five-year integrated law programmes and three-year BA programmes. The integrated law fee is uniform across BALLB (Hons.), BBA+LLB (Hons.), and BCom+LLB (Hons.), while the BA courses have a separate uniform fee across Criminology, Law and Politics, and Legal Studies.

The five-year integrated law route costs INR 35,50,000 in total, which is equal to INR 7,10,000 per year. The same amount applies to the humanities, management, and commerce-linked integrated law options. A student moving from BCom+LLB to BBA+LLB would therefore pay the same total fee.

Admission to BALLB, BBA+LLB, and BCom+LLB is through CLAT, conducted by the Consortium of NLUs. Candidates appear for the same national entrance test irrespective of the integrated stream they select, and JGLS follows its own merit-based selection process from the CLAT pool. General category applicants must have passed Class 12 with at least 45 percent marks, while SC/ST and other category norms should be checked from the official university source. The five-year structure combines the undergraduate component and the law degree in one integrated curriculum.

The three BA programmes are the lowest-cost undergraduate options in the JGLS list. BA (Criminology), BA (Law and Politics), and BA (Legal Studies) each cost INR 15,50,000 for 3 years. These courses cost less than half of the five-year BALLB fee and are INR 6,00,000 lower than the three-year LLB (Hons.). They are meant for students seeking legal, policy, and social science learning without immediately choosing legal practice as the endpoint.

BA (Criminology) covers crime, justice, and criminal policy. BA (Law and Politics) connects constitutional theory with governance and political science. BA (Legal Studies) gives students a foundation in legal principles for later law school plans or careers in policy, compliance, or research. Admission is through the JGLS entrance process or direct merit, not CLAT, and candidates should check the current official admission notification for eligibility and selection details.

JGLS Postgraduate (PG) Fees 2026

PG study at JGLS includes the three-year LLB (Hons.) route for graduates and a one-year LLM with 11 specialisations. The LLB fee is higher than the BA fee for the same three-year duration, while every LLM specialisation carries a single common fee.

The LLB (Hons.) costs INR 21,50,000 for the general category and is designed for candidates who already have an undergraduate degree. Compared with the three-year BA programmes, which cost INR 15,50,000 each, the LLB fee is higher by INR 6,00,000. Admission is through CLAT PG or direct merit for eligible law graduates, depending on the applicant profile and the available intake for the cycle. The three-year LLB follows an application process separate from the five-year integrated law programmes.

The LLM fee at JGLS is INR 5,50,000 for the one-year programme, and the amount remains the same across all specialisations. A candidate choosing between Intellectual Property Rights and Technology Law, Environmental Law, Alternative Dispute Resolution, or any other LLM track makes an academic and career-based choice rather than a fee-based choice. Admission is through CLAT PG or merit, and eligibility requirements may differ by specialisation. Candidates should verify the latest intake and admission timeline from the official university source before applying.

JGLS PhD Fees 2026

The PhD (Law) at JGLS has a minimum duration of 3 years and a total programme fee of INR 3,45,000. In comparison with the five-year integrated law fee of INR 35,50,000, the PhD fee is roughly one-tenth of the cost. For candidates who have completed LLB or LLM at JGLS and wish to continue into academic or policy-focused work, the doctoral route is priced much lower than the undergraduate programmes.

Admission to the PhD is through the university’s own research entrance process. The evaluation includes research aptitude, academic background, and a research proposal. Fellowship and assistantship opportunities at JGLS may reduce the net financial burden for doctoral candidates. Applicants should check the doctoral admissions section on the official university website for current fellowship norms, stipend details, and application timelines.

JGLS Application Fees

For most programmes, applicants may encounter two separate payment stages. One is the entrance examination application fee paid to the national testing agency, and the other is the JGLS registration or processing fee payable during counselling or seat confirmation. These payments are separate and should not be treated as the same fee.

  • CLAT (UG) application fee: INR 4,000 for the general category, payable to the Consortium of NLUs for BALLB, BBA+LLB, and BCom+LLB admission routes at JGLS.
  • CLAT PG application fee: Paid to the Consortium of NLUs and applicable to LLM and LLB (Hons.) admission routes at JGLS.
  • JGLS registration or processing fee: Charged by the university when admission is confirmed. The amount for the current cycle is published on the official university website.

  • PhD: Admission is through the university’s own research entrance. Fee details are provided in the JGLS doctoral admissions section on the official university website.

The CLAT fee is paid before JGLS begins selection and is non-refundable regardless of the admission result. Candidates should confirm all JGLS-specific fee queries with the admissions office or the official university website before making payment.

JGLS Scholarship and Assistance Details

JGLS offers merit-based scholarships and need-based financial assistance to eligible students. The scholarship criteria, amounts, and application deadlines are revised in each admission cycle.
