Eligibility for admission to three-year LL.B. course includes I.T.I qualifications, challenging prior restrictions based on past interpretations of educational norms.
An ITI qualification can be considered equivalent to the Pre-University course for admission to a three-year LL.B. program, per prior judicial decisions.
I.T.I. qualifications are to be considered equivalent to Pre-University requirements for admission to a Three-Year LL.B. Degree Course, promoting equitable access to education.
Court upheld that ITI course can be considered equivalent to 12th standard for admission to law programs, challenging restrictive admissions criteria of the University.
Court ruled ITI qualifications are acceptable as equivalent to Pre-University for law course eligibility, reinforcing legal principles established in previous judgments.
An ITI course can be considered equivalent to the Pre-University qualification required for admission to a three-year LL.B. program as per Bar Council regulations.
A Bachelor of Commerce degree suffices as a First Degree certificate for law course eligibility, regardless of the job-oriented course's equivalence to Pre-University education.
