Most B.Com LL.B programmes follow a similar pattern: the first year builds the foundations, the middle years go deep into the subject, and the final year is given over to electives, a major project and usually an internship.

Here that means accounting, business law, economics, taxation and finance. Typical first jobs: accounting, banking, tax or finance roles. Many graduates also go on to a master's degree.

The exact syllabus is set by the college or its affiliating university and changes from year to year, so ask Guru Ghasidas Vishwavidyalaya for the current semester-wise plan.
