Law course admissions: Karnataka high court suggests review of language rule for Industrial Training Institute students
Bengaluru: Karnataka high court has suggested that the education department should reassess the lack of language subjects in job-oriented Industrial Training Institute (ITI) courses and issue appropriate instructions in view of its notification making language study mandatory for admission to law courses. Currently, ITI courses don't include any language subjects and are considered equivalent to the two-year pre-university (PU) course. The state govt, on March 12, 2025, issued a notification mandating that law candidates must have studied a language. Applications of ITI graduates aiming to join the three-year Bachelor of Laws (LLB) programme get rejected as they haven't studied a language during their ITI course, unlike applicants from the PUC pathway.

Shamasundar, who had completed a job-oriented ITI course in 2015 and subsequently was awarded a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree from Rani Channamma University, Belagavi, moved the high court after his application for admission to the three-year LLB course at Karnataka State Law University (KSLU) and its affiliated law colleges wasn't accepted because of the govt notification. The petitioner argued that in the Rakesh Shetty case, which was similar to his situation, the high court had ruled that for a three-year LLB course, a degree such as Bachelor of Commerce (BCom) obtained after ITI could be considered for admission under Rule 5 of the Bar Council of India Rules. The govt advocate, however, defended the notification, asserting that language or subject experience is necessary for enrolment in the law degree programme Justice Govindaraj agreed with the petitioner's plea that the Rakesh Shetty judgment was applicable to his case. Since ITI courses don't include language studies, imposing a requirement for students to have studied a language within the ITI curriculum is unfounded and indicates a lack of consideration by the state govt, he added. The judge permitted the petition and directed that the state law university issue an eligibility certificate based on the petitioner's BA qualification.
