University of Burdwan LL.M. admission 2026-28 is open until October 22, 2026. The university is inviting applications for its two-year postgraduate law programme, and the written admission test is scheduled for October 29. The application window is closing today, so eligible LL.B. graduates who want to be considered should complete the form and keep proof of successful submission.

The notice applies to the LL.M. programme under the Faculty Council of Arts, Commerce, Law, Music and related faculties. The university has announced 148 seats across three centres. The programme is not an automatic-admission route: applicants must meet the qualifying-mark rule and appear for the university's offline written test.

Burdwan University LL.M. admission 2026-28: important dates

The university has kept October 22 as both the last day to submit the application and the last day to edit it. It may revise the calendar if necessary, so applicants should use the university notice board for any later change.

Who can apply for the LL.M. programme?

A candidate must hold a three-year or five-year LL.B. degree from a Bar Council of India (BCI)-approved centre under a UGC-recognised university. The minimum aggregate is 50% for unreserved candidates. The minimum is 45% for SC, ST, OBC-NCL, differently abled, sports-person and EWS categories, subject to the university's document rules.

The admission notice says applications that do not meet the minimum eligibility will be rejected. The brochure also says that a candidate who is working or engaged in full-time research cannot pursue the course unless the appointing authority provides a no-objection certificate.

Seats and admission fees

The university has announced 148 LL.M. seats across the following centres:

These are the admission fees listed for provisionally selected candidates, not a promise of selection or a substitute for any amount shown in the online form. The inspected official instructions do not state a separate application-fee amount, so applicants should rely on the amount displayed in the official form rather than infer it from the admission-fee table. The seat distribution gives 80% of the intake to candidates who passed out from Burdwan University-affiliated law colleges or its Department of Law, and 20% to candidates from other universities.

Written test and selection process

Every applicant has to appear in the university's offline written admission test. The paper will contain 50 one-mark multiple-choice questions on Legal Aptitude and Current Affairs. The brochure states that there is no negative marking for an incorrect answer.

The university calculates a grade point by adding the percentage obtained in the LL.B. course to the marks secured in the admission test. For a tie, the brochure gives preference in this order: higher Class 12 marks, higher Class 10 marks, and then the older candidate by date of birth. The written-test route is therefore important even for candidates who meet the minimum LL.B. percentage.

How to apply and what to keep ready

1. Open the University of Burdwan admission notice board and open the LL.M. 2026-28 information brochure and important-instructions notice.
2. Create or retrieve the Academic Bank of Credits (ABC)/APAAR ID required by the university before filling the form.
3. Use the registration and login links given inside the university's LL.M. notice. Fill the academic and category details exactly as they appear on your certificates.
4. Keep a passport-size photograph, scanned signature, Class 10 admit card, marksheets for all examinations and a valid category certificate, if applicable, ready for upload.
5. Submit the form by October 22 and check that the portal shows a successful submission. Save the application sequence number and a printout or PDF of the completed form.

The university's notice does not guarantee admission merely because an application is submitted. Candidates should also check the applicant list on October 23 and download the hall ticket from October 26 before appearing for the October 29 test.
