As per the latest data available at the Bar Council of India website on the number of law colleges in India, there are at present around 900 educational institution offering LLB course. BCI notes in that this data is correct as of March 2010. Thus if every institution has around 100 students then the total number of graduating law students by August-September 2010 should have been around 90,000. Its a quantum leap to average out the number of law students around 900 institutions at 100 each, however if we consider that all NLUs have more than 100 students (except for NLS Bangalore) and that most Government law colleges have intake of 200-300 students and that most private colleges would not break without 100-150 students per batch. Thus arguably 100 students on an average per batch per institution seems to be at the lower end of the scale. So let us agree that at least 90,000 students passed LLB in 2010 in India.
However as per the data made available by BCI in the latest press release on AIBE, it has noted that around 22,000 students have applied/appeared for the first AIBE. If we do simple arithmetic it seems that close to 70,000 LLB passouts of 2010 have not sat for the AIBE, it seems pretty weird that no one bothers to investigate why around 77.78% of 2010 law graduates did not opt for the exam or what happened to them.
Interesting... But maybe that figure is too high: there are many colleges that have graduating batches of only 20 or so students.
ReplyDeleteTeh 60,000-odd figure that the BCI compiled itself comes from having contacted every single one of the 600 colleges, apparently, and asked it for its graduating batch strengths.
I guess the problem is that no one really knows at the end of the day...

Thanks for your reply Kian, it would be interesting to get hold of an official BCI document which pegs the student number at 60K (IMHO the declaration at http://www.barcouncilofindia.org/about/vision-statement-2010-2012/ is too vague), however I guess it would be the first official document which tries to estimate/guess authoritatively the number of LLB passouts in India every year.
ReplyDeleteWell prolly u can find an estimation as to how many may have opted for post grad courses, stopped studying (for most female population in India, marriage is still put before career), etc.
ReplyDeleteOh and I forgot political careers and taking up law as merely an additional qualification to their graduate degrees (3 yr LLB), etc.
