CARE Kelambakkam L.L.B {Hons.} : Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. The total programme fee for LLB Hons at CARE Kelambakkam is INR 18 Lakhs for the 3-year course at INR 6 Lakhs per year. Students with high graduation aggregate marks can avail merit scholarships that significantly reduce the annual fee. Those with 91% or above in graduation qualify for a full tuition waiver. On-campus hostel accommodation is available at CARE, with charges confirmed separately at the time of admission.

Ans. No, CLAT is not required for LLB Hons admission at CARE Kelambakkam. The Chettinad School of Law admits students based on graduation merit alone, without any law entrance examination. There is no requirement to appear in CLAT, AILET, LSAT India, or any state law entrance test. Graduates from any discipline with a minimum of 45% aggregate marks in their bachelor’s degree are eligible to apply directly through the CARE law admissions portal.

Ans. CARE’s location within a health sciences university and hospital complex provides law students with unique exposure to healthcare law, medical ethics, patient rights, clinical negligence, and pharmaceutical regulation. This setting is particularly useful for students aiming to practise in medical law, health policy advocacy, or corporate legal roles in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries. The co-location of medical and law schools on one campus is uncommon among Indian private universities and creates a strong differentiator for healthcare-focused legal careers.

Ans. LLB Hons graduates from CARE can enrol as advocates with the Bar Council of Tamil Nadu and practise in district and high courts. They can also join corporate legal departments, law firms handling commercial or intellectual property matters, pharmaceutical companies, hospital legal teams, medical device firms, and health insurance corporations. The unique health sciences background of CARE provides an advantage for roles that sit at the intersection of law and medicine.

Ans. The LLB Hons programme at CARE Kelambakkam has an intake of 120 seats. Admission is merit-based on graduation aggregate marks without any entrance examination. Since CARE is a deemed university and the Chettinad School of Law was established in 2019, the programme is relatively new. Graduates with a strong academic record and interest in healthcare or corporate law are encouraged to apply early as seats fill through a direct merit process without multiple counselling rounds.
