If you completed your post-graduation in June 2024 and appeared for MHCET 3-year LLB exams in May 2025, you usually don’t need a gap certificate. This is because the gap between finishing your post-grad and starting the law course is less than a year, which is acceptable. But some colleges or universities may ask for it, so check their specific rules. If required, you can get a gap certificate from your last college or university easily.

Hi Dristi,

In your situation, you most likely do not require a gap certificate. An incomplete gap exists of less than a year (you finished your post-graduation in June 2024, then you appeared for the MH CET 3-Year LLB exam in May 2025); and this gap or incomplete gap is covered by your study for the entrance exam. Most universities or law colleges recognize the fact that you were studying for the entrance exam as evidence of preparation and for the gap. If the particular law college or university you’re applying to require some sort of documentation for any academic gap however, it’s best to check directly with their admissions office. Failing that, if they do have such a requirement for documentation; a self-declared affidavit can be a gap certificate.

Hello Drishti,

Yes, you may need a gap certificate since there is a gap of nearly one academic year between your post graduation (June 2024) and appearing for the MH CET 3-year LLB exam in May 2025.

However, whether it is mandatory or not depends on the specific law college or university where you are seeking admission. Some institutions may require a gap certificate as part of the admission process to explain any academic or professional break, while others may not ask for it if the gap is short and justifiable.

If required, a gap certificate generally includes:

  • Your name and academic history

  • Reason for the gap (e.g., preparation for entrance exam, personal reasons)

  • Declaration of not being involved in any unlawful activity

  • Notarized affidavit on a stamp paper (usually Rs. 10 or Rs. 20)

Suggestion:
Once counselling or admission starts, contact the specific college or university where you plan to take admission and confirm whether a gap certificate is required in your case.

HEY THERE!!!

  1. Completing your post-graduation in June 2024 and then appearing for the MH CET 3-year LLB exam in May 2025 does not automatically require you to obtain a gap certificate.
  2. Such a certificate is only necessary if the law college you are applying to specifically requests it during the admission or counseling process.
  3. While it is true that many colleges ask for a gap certificate if there is a gap of one year or more between your last completed qualification and your new course, this is not a universal requirement.
  4. You should carefully review the admission guidelines of the law college where you intend to apply.
  5. If the college requires a gap certificate at the time of document verification or counseling, you will need to obtain one from your local tehsil or SDM office.
  6. If there is no such requirement, you are not obligated to submit a gap certificate.
