The BSc LLB degree – NLU Jodhpur’s LLB offering which included papers from the Bachelors-in-degree papers – was scrapped permanently for lack of demand.A notification on the website of the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) states:
“As per the information received on 30th January 2016 from National Law University, Jodhpur, it is notified that National Law University, Jodhpur is not offering B.Sc. LL.B. (Hons.) Course for the Academic Year 2016-17. However, the total number of seats for the Graduation Course that is B.A., LL.B. (Hons.) and B.B.A., LL.B. (Hons.) at National Law University, Jodhpur shall remain the same as notified earlier.”
NLU Jodhpur vice chancellor Prof Poonam Saxena told Legally India that the number of students enrolling for the BSc LLB degree was eight in 2012, and then proceeded to decrease each subsequent year with eventually only two or three students opting for it.
She said that around 20 students opt each year for the BBA LLB degree – the Bachelors in Business Administration style law degree offered by NLUJ - while the remaining students in the batch of 115 go for the traditional BALLB degree.
NLUJ had decided that if less than 16 students enrolled in any one of its three LLB degree offerings, it would discontinue that degree, she said.
NLUJ was the only national law school to have the science, business administration and arts-style options for its LLB degree offering, since its inception. Now only the BBA LLB and the BALLB options remain at the law school.

Anyways, it is upto NLU Administration and board of governers to scrap the course. It makes sense economically also for them.
Here's the ridiculous note on jodhpur law university's website
B.Sc., LL.B. (Hons.) is an integrated program designed to provide extensive knowledge of contemporary technologies, having direct correlation with upcoming techno-legal disputes and IPR issues addressing the emerging trends in contemporary scholarship.
Lol. Reading this would give the impression that these sub-mediocre kids would have some ace weapon in their war on patent and copyright law. Makes you believe Law School
got it wrong all these decades with the sole emphasis on arts. Rofl
