The BIL fees range from approximately INR 45,000 for the 3 year LL.B. to approximately INR 1,20,000 for the 2 year LL.M. course. Bihar Institute of Law (BIL) offers undergraduate and postgraduate law courses through its single campus at Ashiana More, Raja Bazar, Patna. The key BIL courses include the 5 year integrated B.A.LL.B. (Hons.) for candidates who have completed Class 12, the 3 year LL.B. (Hons.) for graduates, and a 2 year LL.M. introduced from session 2023-24.
The college does not offer specialisations within the LL.M. course in the way standalone law universities do, and admission to all BIL courses is conducted through the college's own entrance test, BILAT, unlike merit only systems used by some state law universities. Candidates are selected on the basis of marks obtained in BILAT, followed by a personality test for B.A.LL.B. and LL.M. candidates.
