Chandigarh, April 7, 2026: The Punjab Government’s Department of Higher Education has designated Guru Nanak Dev University as the competent authority to conduct centralised online counselling for law courses for the academic session 2026–27. The decision was issued through an official notification.
According to Dr. Anshu Kataria, President of the Punjab Unaided Colleges Association (PUCA) and Chairman of Aryans College of Law, a total of 7,412 seats are available across the state in various law programmes.
The seat distribution includes 600 seats in B.A. LL.B (Hons.) 5-year course, 3,390 seats in B.A. LL.B 5-year course, 2,702 seats in LL.B 3-year course, 510 seats in B.Com LL.B 5-year course, 60 seats in B.Com LL.B (Hons.) 5-year course, and 150 seats in B.B.A. LL.B 5-year course.
Dr. Kataria further informed that management quota seats are also included within the total intake. These comprise 77 seats in B.A. LL.B (Hons.), 437 in B.A. LL.B, 432 in LL.B, 65 in B.Com LL.B, 8 in B.Com LL.B (Hons.), and 19 in B.B.A. LL.B.
Highlighting the growing interest in legal education, he said law courses are witnessing a significant rise in demand across Punjab. “Last year, nearly all seats in law programmes were filled, and similar trends are expected this year,” he noted.
He added that with increasing restrictions on overseas immigration, more students are choosing professional courses within India, which may lead to early filling of seats during the current admission cycle.
