How to become an International Lawyer

International law is taught as a paper right at the graduation level in both the B.A. and LL.B. (Hons.) courses. One can then go for an LL.M in International Law. To get enrolled for a 3 year long LL.B. at a good university/college one must be a graduate in any discipline with at least 50% marks (general category) or 45% (SC/ST). For a 5 year BSL LL.B course, you need to have completed XIIth with at least 50% (general) or 45% (SC/ST). One has to however clear entrance tests which can be difficult to crack. To pursue an LL.M again one needs to have secured an LL.B degree or its equivalent from a recognised university with at least 50% marks.
