• In addition to core courses, students have the opportunity to explore their interests through elective courses and independent research projects. JGLS offers a diverse range of elective courses that cover various legal fields, from intellectual property law to international commercial arbitration, enabling students to develop specialized knowledge and skills that align with their career aspirations.

The B.A. LL.B. (Hons) Curriculum at JGLS consists of compulsory and elective courses of maximum one semester.
