The three-year course is ideal for graduates from any discipline and the five-year course is pursued by students after completion of 10 + 2 examination. The second choice is to stu

Scholar-Level 17

If you are just doing your schooling these days, and want to become a lawyer in India, that's a good thing. You have already made your mind for it. But next to it, you should also plan which degrees you need to have. Students of Science, commerce or arts stream can apply for a Bachelors degree in law, and then do Masters to become a lawyer. It would be good if you are pursuing your school with commerce stream. That helps. Also, you should start exploring more about different divisions of law you want to excel in. Make a career plan for yourself and then follow it. MUIT Noida - http://muitnoida.edu.in/ is a good college option for you.
