# GLC Mumbai gets BCI nod, law admission deadline extended, options revised 2026-08-13T11:38:23+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Bar Council of India has approved Government Law College Mumbai and 18 other colleges, ending days of uncertainty for law aspirants. They will be added to the admission portal on Friday. The Bombay High Court has extended the deadline for filling college option forms to August 9 for both three-year LLB and five-year integrated law courses. The State CET Cell has proposed that students be allowed to reject their first-preference college and still participate in later CAP rounds, and to submit a fresh option form before each round. Commissioner Dileep Sardesai said the proposal awaits state government approval. Nearly 54,000 applicants for the three-year LLB programme face only 102 cleared colleges with 10,105 seats, leaving choices sharply limited. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com - timesofindia.indiatimes.com - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: BCI, Bombay High Court, CET Cell, GLC Mumbai, law admissions, Maharashtra Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/glc-mumbai-gets-bci-nod-law-admission-deadline-extended/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
