Do you know that there are as many as 14 Central Universities that offer B.A. LL.B. or other 5-year integrated programs in law? Out of these 14 universities, 12 will take admissions in these programs only on the basis of the CUET 2022 scores. The two Central Universities that will NOT be taking admissions in their 5-year law programs are Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) and Jamia Milia Islamia (JMI).
