Students should have to choose from the five specialisations, such as technology and media law, corporate and financial law, entertainment and sports law, alternative dispute resolution and mediation, and public law and theory.

The admissions process follows the BITS Law Foundation Assessment (BLFA). The BLFA will shortlist candidates on the basis of their academic performance, recognised law entrance examination scores, extracurricular achievements, communication skills, and personal interview performance.

BLFA is a 60-minute online, proctored assessment that consists of 70 multiple-choice questions with no negative marking. Students will also be assessed on their ability to comprehend, communicate, reason, articulate ideas, and engage with contemporary issues.

Through structured interactions with faculty, applicants will get an opportunity to demonstrate their intellectual curiosity, analytical thinking, communication skills, and motivation to study law.

As per the eligibility criteria, candidates must have secured a minimum of 45% in grade 12. Those awaiting their Class 12 or entrance examination results may also apply, with admission subject to submission of their final scores.
