Dr Ambedkar College Nagpur L.L.M : Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. DACN offers LLM in three specializations: Group B (Constitutional and Administrative Law), Group D (Business Law), and Group G (Criminal Law). Candidates must indicate their preferred specialization at the time of application. Admission to each specialization is based on a separate merit list, so candidates should check the availability of seats in their preferred specialization before applying.

Ans. No, LLM admission at Dr. Ambedkar College, Nagpur is entirely merit-based on the candidate's LLB percentage. There is no entrance exam, written test, or interview required. The merit list is prepared based on LLB marks, and candidates are called for admission confirmation in order of merit. This makes the process straightforward for candidates with a strong LLB academic record.

Ans. Based on the 2026-27 Round I merit list, the minimum LLB percentage for Open category candidates ranged from approximately 59% to 77% depending on the specialization. For reserved categories (SC/ST/OBC), the minimum was around 56% to 73%. These figures vary each year based on the number of applicants and available seats. Candidates with 55% or above in LLB generally have a good chance of securing admission.

Ans. The LLM at DACN is one of the most affordable in Maharashtra. Open category students pay only INR 15,000 for the entire 2-year programme, while reserved category students (SC/ST/OBC/NT/EWS) pay only INR 1,100 for the full duration, which is further covered by government scholarship schemes. In comparison, private law colleges in Maharashtra charge INR 50,000 to INR 2,00,000 for LLM, making DACN an exceptionally cost-effective option.

Ans. Yes. After completing LLM from DACN, graduates are eligible to apply for Ph.D. in Law at DACN's recognized Law Research Centre under RTMNU. The centre has 4 supervisors (Dr. H.V. Menon, Dr. V.V.
