Eligibility
Requirements depend on the individual certification. Most are open to anyone who has finished school at the Class 12 stage, while a course pitched at practitioners may ask for a law degree or for current enrolment in one, and some are open to working professionals from any discipline. Admission is generally by direct registration in order of application, not by an entrance examination, and places can be limited for the sessions with contact classes. The exact eligibility bar, the fee and the closing date are set by the university separately for each course and each intake, so read the notification for the specific certification you intend to join.
About Certification
Certification courses at Dr Ram Manohar Lohiya National Law University in Lucknow are short, focused programmes that sit outside the regular degree calendar and are built around a single area of law or legal practice. Where a full degree covers the whole field, a certification takes one subject and works through it in depth, usually with reading, contact sessions or online modules, and an assessment at the end that leads to a certificate from the university. Typical takers are law students who want an area of specialism on their record, practising advocates keeping up with a changing statute, and people from adjacent fields such as human resources, compliance, journalism or the civil services who need a working grasp of the legal position rather than a licence to practise. The subject list and schedule are announced by the university for each intake.
