1. What Rule 6 actually saysUnder Rule 6 (Chapter II): A student cannot pursue two regular full-time degree courses simultaneously Students must give a declaration that they are not enrolled in any other regular program during LL.B. So the prohibition is on “simultaneous pursuit”, not on past enrollment. 2. Apply Rule 6 to your timeline Your facts:2021 → B.Sc. (Magadh University)Dec 2022 → BA LL.B. (NEHU)June 2023 → Discontinued after 1st semester (no continuation) you pursuing two regular courses at the same time? Scenario analysis: (A) If B.Sc. was still ongoing when you joined BA LL.B. Then technically - You were enrolled in two regular courses simultaneouslyThis is a direct violation of Rule 6
