There is no particular stream to be taken for becoming a lawyer even science stream people can join LLB. But in my point of view, if you want to become a corporate lawyer then you should choose commerce stream.
If you want to practice in court (litigation) then you should choose arts.
Choosing these streams according to what you want to become will give you in depth knowledge about each subject and enhance your skill efficiently.
All the best.

Hi Niel,
Other than the option of litigation, you can become a judge by qualifying the exam conducted by each state. You can build your career in corporate sectors by becoming legal advisors to companies. You can also join law firms or you can continue your further studies by doing LLM. You can also become professors in different universities, you can also opt for civil services.

I am surprised that you have completed BBA without clearing 10+2 board examination. You may face problem in seeking admission in 3-years LLB course. You may check with your target university registrar that whether they will accept you for law degree without 12th Certificates.

The Bar Council of India (BCI) has recently decided to increase the upper age limit for five-year law course from 20 to 22 and for three-year law course from 30 to 45. This relaxation is as of now available till a final decision on the subject is announced. You can register with Bar council for practising law.

You do not require Barrister-at-law degree to practice in Indian court. It is an outdated degree. In India LLB from a recognised university is sufficient educational qualification for practising law in Indian courts.

Hi,
As per the latest guidelines, any LLB from correspondence is not valid for practicing law. You may work as a legal advisor though, so be sure of choosing the distance mode course.

Hi,
You should have confidence, commitment and convincing communication skills. With all these skills, you can take law degree and the license from Bar Council of India. After completing class 12th, you can start your education from BA LLB program.
All the best.

Yes, you can pursue LLB. For LLB, you must be a graduate in BA or B.Com and then you can pursue LLB course. After completing LLB course, you can start working as an assistant with some lawyer or you can start your own practice. The best option would be to start as an assistant under some renowned lawyers.

Dear Kushal,
Yes, you can pursue law profession through BBA LLB, BA LLB or B.Com LLB programme and duration is 5 years. After this programme, you can start practicing in court or you can work as a legal advisor in corporate.
For this programme, you have to clear CLAT exam or the entrance exam of a particular university in which you want to apply.
All the best.
