Hello Nishar Ahmed, a very interesting query indeed. Unfortunately there is an answer and there is a confusion. Let me explain. Indian Law Institute located in New Delhi in front of the supreme court premises, is a very specialised Institute which conducts post graduate courses of the label of certificate post graduate degree and also doctoral studies, all related to law. Out of these courses the certificate courses do not until any entrance test. Admission is based purely on the marks obtained in the graduation examination. However for 1 year duration LLM available under multiple streams and also for giving admission for a doctoral programs this Institute conducts an all India common admission test. Institute talks of cutoffs only as an eligibility condition for students who want to appear for this entrance test or those who want to enroll for certificate courses. This condition is that the student must obtain 50% marks in the graduation examination. There are no cut off marks prescribed for passing of the common entrance test. However based on the number of vacancy is in different categories of students the institute calls these students to Delhi for an interview or viva voce. Combination of the marks obtained in the entrance test and this interview then determines the merit of the students and based on this merit list admissions are given. I hope I have clarified all the doubts in your mind.

Best wishes to you.
