PU LLB Syllabus 2026

Note that some topics are more equal than others in that they carry more weightage. This means you can afford to spend the majority of your time preparing for trivial stuff. To check out which topics are important, you may go through previous years' question papers. This will also help you get a first-hand experience of the difficulty level.
