The Bar Council of India informed the Kerala High Court that it has granted interim approval for a transgender quota, allowing two supernumerary seats in both three-year and five-year LLB courses across state law colleges for the 2025–26 academic year.
The Bar Council of India has issued a warning against unapproved online and hybrid LL.M. programmes, labeling them as misleading and harmful to legal education standards. Institutions must seek BCI approval for such courses, as unauthorized programmes threaten educational quality and integrity. Legal actions will be pursued against violators to protect students.
