1) The BBA LLB program is becoming a popular option for students interested in both commerce and law, allowing them to study subjects relevant to corporate law like accountancy, economics and management. 2) Graduates note the advantage of the BBA LLB is the knowledge gained from business-related subjects helps them deal with clients and understand financial documents. 3) While the BBA LLB is gaining traction, the BA LLB remains more popular currently, but the number of BBA LLB students is increasing each year at universities offering the program.

1. A CORPORATE EDGE
Even as the BA LLB remains a favourite among aspiring lawyers, the
BBA LLB is gaining traction

When Arpit Gupta decided to enrol on a five-year integrated law
programme after his class XII exams, he was flummoxed at the prospect
of renouncing subjects like accounting and business management for
disciplines such as political science and history.He was wary of the
unfamiliar territory of the humanities. However, he discovered a middle
ground -an integrated five-year dual degree programme, which would
let him stay connected with commerce.“I realised that instead of a BA
LLB, a BBA LLB was better for students like me who had opted for
commerce in class XII.Moreover, this is a good opportunity for those
who wish to make a career in corporate law,“ says Arpit, now a final-
year student at National Law University (NLU), Jodhpur.

Fresh law graduates underscore the programme's significance in the context
of corporate law. Sonali Singh, a BBA LLB graduate from a university in Delhi
now working as an associate at a Delhi-based law firm, recounts, “It was a
conscious decision to pick a BBA LLB because I wanted to study subjects that
would eventually be relevant in my corporate life such as managerial
economics, business statistics and accountancy. These subjects give you the
knowledge that, in turn, helps you deal with clients and understand their
financial statements and shareholders' agreement.“
Manoj Kumar, placement director and chief proctor, NLU Jodhpur, echoes the
sentiment. According to him, “Those who study the BBA become well versed
in subjects like accountancy, economics and management. This enables them
to understand corporate nuances if they foray into corporate law.“

Making inroads
The BBA LLB seems to be making its presence felt already though it
may take time to be as popular as the BA LLB. “The number of students
is increasing every year but we still have only 26 students on the BBA
law programme vis-à-vis 90 on the conventional law programme,“ says
Kumar.Similarly, Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University in the
national capital has 40 BBA law students as against 60 BA LLB
candidates. “BBA LLB graduates are in demand because of companies'
rigid corporate governance and related issues,“ says Afzal Wani, dean,
University School of Law and Legal Studies, which started the
programme seven years ago.
