As per the seat matrix, the Faculty of Law provides around 125 seats every year for providing admissions to the LLM courses. However, there will be supernumerary seats for those belonging to foreign nationals, PwD, and CW categories.

The institute offers two types of LLM courses, as mentioned below:

• 2-year LLM program, a full-time program meant for aspirants who are not in any other profession, trade, business, or occupation.
• 3-year LLM program conducted in the evening is open to both working and non-working aspirants.

Since the 2-years course has more weightage in the seat matrix, most aspirants prefer to join for two years compared to three years.
