Am I eligible to pursue BBL through distance education? I am a 65-year-old retired employee of Karnataka Government.

The eligibility for the 5-year integrated programme, B.A. LLB/B.Sc LLB/B.Com LLB/BSW LLB, is 12th pass and age group is maximum 20years, therefore you would not be eligible for this course of law. Nevertheless, if you are a graduate then you are eligible for the 3 year LLB course; there is no upper age limit for admission in this course. You are eligible for this course if you have pursued your graduation by distance learning or correspondence mode. However, if you have graduated through open universities system, you would not be eligible for admission in law courses. In addition to this many institutes and universities offer PG Diploma/Masters programme in various disciplines of law such as: Labor law IT law International law Tax and corporate law, etc. Various law degrees can be pursued online or through distance programs. However, as per the guidelines of bar council, LLB acquired through distance mode is not valid to practice law as a lawyer/advocate; you can work as a legal advisor. Also, the required attendance is 80% for each semester/year for each subject.
