BS Law is a four years undergraduate degree in law.
Entry requirements
Admission is based on HSSC (Intermediate) or an equivalent qualification in a relevant group, combined with the entry test the institution uses. Applicants holding A-Levels or a foreign qualification need an equivalence certificate from the Inter Board Coordination Commission, which is worth applying for as soon as results are published. Merit is usually a weighted aggregate of HSSC marks and entry test score, and the weightings differ between institutions.
Accreditation
Legal qualifications are recognised separately by the Pakistan Bar Council, which governs whether a graduate may be enrolled as an advocate. HEC recognition of the parent institution is not sufficient on its own — confirm Bar Council recognition of the specific law programme.
What it leads to
A four-year bachelor’s is the standard undergraduate qualification in Pakistan and satisfies the 16-year requirement for postgraduate admission. What it leads to depends heavily on what a graduate builds alongside it — internships, projects and demonstrable practical skill — since employers in most fields weight those alongside the degree itself.
Comparing institutions
Fees for the same degree title vary several-fold between Pakistani institutions, and course content varies with them. Ask each university for the full per-semester fee schedule across the whole degree rather than the first instalment, and for the current course outline — UniAssist lists which universities teach this degree, but the detailed curriculum is set institutionally and the university’s own prospectus is the authoritative source for it.
