The plea filed by Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay said the New Education Policy 2020 promotes four years of graduation courses in all professional and academic courses but there were no steps undertaken by the Bar Council of India to review the existing syllabus, curriculum and the duration of the Bachelor of Law (LLB) and Mater of Laws (LLM) courses.
The PIL said the five-year duration of the BA-LLB and BBA-LLB courses was “disproportionate to the course material” and the long duration put an excessive financial burden on students. PTI PKS AMK AMK
