Frequently Asked Questions
Can I attempt both DU LL.B. and PU LL.B.?
Yes, and most serious graduate aspirants do. The core preparation base is shared, and the calendars usually differ enough to attempt both.
Which is harder?
Neither is uniformly harder. The Delhi route typically favours language and reasoning depth; the Panjab University route rewards breadth in general knowledge along with legal aptitude.
Do I need separate preparation?
One core plan with pattern-specific mocks for each is enough. The difference shows up mainly in pacing and section weightage.
Which is better for practice in Chandigarh?
The Panjab University route keeps you in the regional legal ecosystem, which helps with internships in the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The Delhi route helps if you plan to practise or work in Delhi.
