BBA LL.B. (Artificial Intelligence Applications) at DYPIU

B.B.A. LL.B. (Hons.)

B.B.A. LL.B. (Hons.) Program Overview

The BBA LL.B. (Artificial Intelligence Applications) is a five-year, ten-semester integrated programme offered by the School of Legal Studies at D. Y. Patil International University. It combines legal education, management education, artificial intelligence and domain analytics in a single degree. It is designed for a professional world where law, business and technology increasingly overlap. The University has received approval from the Bar Council of India (BCI).

The first six semesters form a common foundation. Students study core law (contracts, constitutional law, torts, company law, crimes, property, jurisprudence and more) alongside management (principles of management, accounting, economics, marketing, finance, HR, statistics). AI and digital competence are built in from Semester II through courses such as Introduction to AI, Legal Data Analytics & Visualization, AI Tools for Legal Research, Cyber Law & Data Privacy, and AI & Law: Ethics, Bias and Regulation.

From Semester VII, students choose one of four specialization tracks:

  • FinTech & Financial Analytics
  • HR Analytics & Labour Law
  • Supply Chain & Operations Analytics
  • Legal Analytics & AI Governance

Year 5 is devoted to advanced specialization, a capstone project and a professional internship. The programme carries inputs across core law, core management, AI & digital law, track specialization, and internship, project and research components.

Programme Objectives

  • Build a strong foundation in substantive, procedural, commercial and emerging areas of law, with skills in legal research, reasoning and drafting.
  • Develop management and business acumen across economics, finance, marketing, HR and strategy.
  • Develop AI and digital competence, so students can use AI, LegalTech and analytics responsibly in legal and business decisions.
  • Strengthen data and analytical thinking, so students can analyse and visualize data and reach evidence-based conclusions.
  • Integrate law, management, technology and analytics to solve interdisciplinary, real-world problems.
  • Build professional practice skills in negotiation, compliance, governance, risk management and technology-enabled practice.
  • Instil ethics and professional responsibility, including fairness, confidentiality, accountability and responsible use of AI and data.
  • Encourage research and innovation through research projects, a dissertation and a capstone.
  • Provide a national, international and regulatory perspective on legal, business and technological developments.
  • Foster communication, collaboration and lifelong learning, so graduates can adapt to changes in law, technology and society.

Distinguishing Points

  • BCI-approved. The programme is offered by a university that has received Bar Council of India approval, and it pairs that standing with an AI, management and analytics curriculum that few integrated law programmes offer.
  • Four-way integration. Law, management, AI and domain analytics are combined in one integrated degree, not offered as add-ons to a conventional BBA LL.B.
  • AI built into the curriculum. AI literacy starts in Semester II and continues through ethics and regulation, legal informatics and smart contracts, and AI in corporate governance. It ends with Advanced Legal Analytics & AI Applications and Legal Tech Systems & Automation. No advanced programming background is required.
  • Progressive specialization. Students take a common foundation in Semesters I–VI, choose a track from Semester VII, and specialize further in Year 5.
  • Career-aligned tracks. Each track leads to defined roles, such as Compliance Officer, HR Tech Consultant, Logistics Manager or AI Policy Consultant.
  • Progressive internship model. Five internships run across the programme, in court/NGO, corporate/law firm, industry/regulatory and domain-specific settings.
  • Research integration. Research Project I and II, a dissertation and a capstone run from Semester VII to X.
  • Outcome-based design. The programme defines 12 Programme Outcomes and 12 Graduate Attributes, and every course lists its own objectives and outcomes.
