It covers English, social sciences, jurisprudence, constitutional, Islamic, civil and criminal law, procedure and evidence, and professional skills such as legal drafting.
Admissions to the five-year LL.B are closed: the program is discontinued for new students. Students already enrolled in five-year batches continue their studies and annual examinations as before. New applicants can apply for the LL.B (4 Years) BS (Hons).
