I am assuming you are talking about financial aid which can be handed (although in few numbers) by the college itself. Yet the total fee after financial aid will somewhere halt around 70-75 lakhs. (https://www.lse.ac.uk/study-at-lse/Undergraduate/fees-and-funding/undergraduate-support-scheme)
LSE does not have a system of streamlined scholarship offers unlike some other uk unis (like University of Nottingham,UCL or KCL). You can strive to get into these unis and then apply for a moderate loan once you get in. All the best!
I was referring to the UG tutorials not BCL seminars.
I have heard from a BCL alum that almost everybody interested in his cohort was successful in landing a TC or Pupilage. Could you shed some light on the truth of this statement?
The people on LI really give terrible advice! I wonder if they're just law school kids pretending to be experienced lawyers?
Remember that overseas students pay a substantial premium over home students in terms of tuition fees.
And I have heard scholarships based on lnat as well.

Apart from a TC, your options can also include studying for the bar or doing an MBA in the UK. All very expensive, of course.
However, if you wish to stay in India there’s no real point of doing an LLB abroad. Go to any NLU or Jindal or Symbi. But you can do an LLM and return, applying to the usual suspects: Oxbridge, LSE, KCL, UCL, QMUL, SOAS and Warwick. Edinburgh is very good too, but the weather keeps people away.
Now I recently came to know about lnat and I am quite interested in the UK higher education as well. I have checked all the lnat and uk uni related threads at LI. But there seemed to have a mixed opinion about this.
After this gap year (since I have already decided my mind on leaving this college) - I want to join somewhere stable.
So till what UK uni should I join? And after that when do I consider a tier-1 nlu in case I crack them.
Your help will mean a lot.
