Correct answer: A. BAR COUNCIL OF INDIA (BCI) — under the Advocates Act 1961; BCI Rules of Legal Education prescribe minimum standards; integrated 5-year LLB programs and 3-year LLB programs; CLAT for NLU admissions
1. The BAR COUNCIL OF INDIA (BCI) regulates legal education and the legal profession in India under the Advocates Act 1961. 2. KEY REGULATIONS: 3. (i) BCI RULES of LEGAL EDUCATION — minimum standards for law schools; 4. (ii) APPROVAL of new law programs and law colleges; 5. (iii) MANDATORY CURRICULUM — Contracts, Torts, Constitutional Law, Criminal Law, Family Law, Property Law, Procedural Law, etc.; 6. (iv) PROGRAM TYPES: INTEGRATED 5-year LLB (after 10+2) (BA LLB, BBA LLB, B.Sc LLB, B.Com LLB); 3-year LLB (after graduation); 7. (v) CLAT — Common Law Admission Test for 24 National Law Universities; 8. (vi) ALL-INDIA BAR EXAMINATION (AIBE) — required for licence to practice (since 2010). 9. UGC also regulates higher education broadly, but BCI has specific mandate for law. 10. NLU system: National Law School of India University (NLSIU) Bangalore (1986), NALSAR Hyderabad (1998), NUJS Kolkata (1999), NLIU Bhopal, GNLU Gandhinagar, NLU Delhi, etc. 11. Hence option B is correct. _Source: Legal Research Methodology + Jurisprudence — Bar Council of India; Advocates Act 1961_
