I am trying to understand whether this plan is legally and academically possible in Maharashtra.
I have left out some details about my colleges and documents for privacy. If any additional information is necessary to understand whether this is possible please let me know what specific detail is missing.
I missed the 3 year LLB entrance exam this year so I took admission to the 5 year LLB and got a seat in a top college. I have completed graduation already but there is an issue with getting the graduation TC from my previous college. I do not want to share the exact personal details publicly.
My idea is to pursue the 3 year LLB separately using my graduation documents while continuing the 5 year LLB. I would complete the first year of the 3 year LLB and then try to transfer to the same top tier college for the second year of the 3 year LLB.
Basically the proposed route is 5 year LLB continuing alongside 3 year LLB, complete first year of 3 year LLB elsewhere, then seek transfer to the top college for second year of 3 year LLB.
I know UGC has guidelines regarding pursuing two academic programmes simultaneously, but I am not sure whether those guidelines cover two regular law programmes or whether BCI university CET Cell or college rules create additional restrictions.
Has anyone actually done this in Maharashtra or knows the applicable rules regarding simultaneous enrolment and second year transfer in a 3 year LLB.
I am not looking for ways to bypass any rule. I want to know whether this structure is actually permitted and what approvals or conditions would be required.
