B.Tech + LLB
B.Tech + LLB is a six-year integrated programme that combines an undergraduate engineering degree with a law degree, governed jointly by AICTE for the engineering component and the Bar Council of India (BCI) for the law component. The engineering years build core technical subjects in the chosen branch, while the law years cover constitutional law, contracts, criminal law and specialised areas such as intellectual property and technology law, often taught together across the six years with moot courts and internships. It suits Class 12 science students with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics who are interested in both engineering and law, particularly in fields such as patent law, technology law and corporate legal roles that value a technical background.

Why Choose B.Tech + LLB
A niche combination of skills
Few graduates combine a technical engineering background with a law degree, which stands out for roles in patent law, technology law and IP-heavy industries.
Access to specialised legal careers
The engineering background helps directly with patent drafting, technology disputes and compliance work that need both technical and legal understanding.
Flexibility between two career tracks
Graduates can choose a legal career, a technical engineering career, or roles that combine both, such as corporate legal counsel in a technology company.
Covers both regulatory frameworks
The programme meets both AICTE norms for engineering and Bar Council of India norms for law, so graduates are eligible for both engineering and legal career paths.
