NLSIU Bangalore offers 3 programmes with 9 specialisations between them, across UG and PhD level. This page lists what is on offer, what each one costs and how long it runs, so you can see the whole picture before you shortlist a course.
The programmes sit in 3 streams — Others, Medical and Law. If your subject is not on that list, this college is probably not the right fit, however good its overall reputation.
What NLSIU Bangalore offers, level by level
"Level" simply means the stage of study. Here is what NLSIU Bangalore runs at each one.
| Level | Programmes | Typical duration | Fees | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| UG | 2 | 1–5 years | ₹13.4 lakh | Undergraduate — the degree you take straight after class 12. Usually three or four years. |
| PhD | 1 | 3 years | — | Doctorate — a research degree taken after a master's. It runs for several years and is meant for people who want to do research or teach. |
NLSIU Bangalore course fees
Fees below are the total for the whole course, not per year. The lowest on record is ₹13.4 lakh for Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Legislative Law. 2 of the 3 programmes have no fee on record yet.
| Course | Level | Duration | Total fees |
|---|---|---|---|
| Post Graduate Diploma | UG | 1 years | — |
| Doctor of Philosophy | PhD | 3 years | — |
| Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Legislative Law | UG | 5 years | ₹13.4 lakh |
One thing worth checking before you compare these against another college: fees here cover tuition. Hostel, mess and one-time charges are usually separate, and they can add a lot over four years. Ask for the all-in figure.
Specialisations you can choose
Most programmes here run several specialisations — the branch you actually study. Post Graduate Diploma has the widest choice with 7, including Post Graduate Diploma in Medical Law and Ethics, Post Graduate Diploma in Cyber Law and Cyber Forensics, Post Graduate Diploma in Human Rights Law, Post Graduate Diploma in Intellectual Property Rights Law, Post Graduate Diploma in Consumer Law and Practice and Post Graduate Diploma in Child Rights Law.
This matters more than the college's overall rank. Teaching quality, lab facilities and which companies recruit all vary between branches at the same college. Pick the branch first, then check whether this college is strong in it.
How to choose between these courses
- Start with the subject, not the college. A course you do not enjoy will be a long few years, whatever the campus is like.
- Check the entrance exam. Each programme has its own route in, and the exam decides your timeline for the whole year.
- Add up the real cost. Total fees plus hostel, mess and living expenses — then look at scholarships and education loans.
- Ask about branch-wise placements. College-wide figures hide big differences between branches.
About this list
These 3 programmes come from NLSIU Bangalore's own course record and are updated as it changes. A dash in the fee column means the college has not published that figure yet, not that the course is free. For anything that will decide your admission — eligibility, exact fees, seat numbers — confirm with the college before you apply.
