However, am not very sure what percentage is considered second upper class. I guess it should be 65% - 69.99% Please rely on another reply to your post as well. Thanks Aakanksha Mon, 06 Aug 2007 18:47:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/34027/last#34217 Degrees are classified in the UK as follows: 1st: 70%+ 2:1: 60-70% 2:2: 50-60% 3rd: 40-50% I'm not sure but I believe that institutions are more concerned with first degrees.

Mon, 06 Aug 2007 20:57:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/34027/last#34223 Although this is noted I wonder the fate of Indians, as it's difficult to score over 60% in Indian evaluation system. A brilliant student scores first class (60% and above in Indian context). During my batch, the university topper scored 67% (It is generally the average of all five years of LL.B). If my score is 62% I wonder where I stand in an international strata. Do people like Nitin and myself do not have our fair-share of availing education from reputed international institutes? Can anyone pull us out of deep waters? Eagerly awaiting.. Aakanksha Agarwal Sun, 12 Aug 2007 12:31:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/34027/last#34394 Hi. I graduated with 61% LLB from Bangalore University. like you said, its tough for Indian law students to manage above 65% I was rejected by Cambridge, but accepted by LSE, UCL, Kings, SOAS, Queen Marys, Warwick, Westminster. So I think u definitely have a chance. Sun, 12 Aug 2007 14:49:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/34027/last#34398 Hey Pinkcouldron... That's great relief! Thanks a a tonne for it.. Will ping you when I need help :) Many thanks again..

No, 3rd is equal to Pass. If you get below 40% you fail. Tue, 05 Feb 2008 17:05:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/34027/last#39711 Hi, What is the maximum grade is it a 100? Thx Wed, 13 Feb 2008 23:18:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/34027/last#40242 Hi I did my LLB from Delhi University in 1997. I agree with most persons on this post that getting a 60% in Delhi University is definitely not easy and as far as I remember only 5-10 people out of a batch of 500 had a 60%. The topper in my batch was 62%. It seems that in recent times it's become easier to score more than 60% in the LLB in Delhi University and other law colleges. I also feel that most of the US Univs concentrate more on your LLB marks than a combination of marks and significant work experience. But having written to a number of UK Univs, I think they are more flexible in regard to marks combined with significant work experience. That's my take on this. Cheers
