I have studied BCA, MA and HRM. Can I apply for BA LLB? My profile: 12th-85%, BCA-64%, MA (HRM)-63%.

Hi Prince, First, I'd ask you a question. Why not 3 year LLB? For the purposes of elaboration, I've mentioned the basic differentiation between the two. Five year LLB is an integrated course where the students do not have to undergo graduation twice, i.e. 3 years of graduation in any stream and then again 3 years of law; but here they will receive a consolidated BA LLB degree upon finishing the course in a period of 5 years. Earlier, the Bar Council of India (BCI) had an age limit of 20 years to pursue five year LLB course, but after facing criticism from the Supreme Court, the age limit was increased to 22 years. While, A three year course is pursued after possessing any graduation degree and it is imperative that the student has pursued graduation in any discipline and then shall be eligible for a three year course in law. Earlier, the age limit set by the Bar Council of India (BCI) was 30 years, but after facing criticism from the Apex court, BCI decided to increase the age limit from 30 years to 45 years for 3 year law courses. There are people who decide to pursue Engineering or BCom or BA or any other course for that matter, and later decide that they want to pursue Law as a career option, but have crossed the age of 22. Such candidates can enrol in this course.
