Hi,
B.COM LLB (5 year integrated course) is an apt choice. I have seen LLB with CS people going high places in corp. law firms and corporate but work hard and try to crack all CS papers within say 2 years of passing LLB.
To become a lawyer, you need to get a degree in law by taking up the three-year LL.B.
For admission into a law school in India, you need to take an entrance exam called the Common Law Admission Test. You can plan accordingly.
For details, visit http://www.clat.ac.in
You must have strong analytic skills, good interpersonal skills and a keen understanding of the basic principles in order to successfully settle as a Lawyer.
After obtaining degree, you can practice as a lawyer. To specialize in any specific law, it may be a good idea to pursue a post-graduate law degree or diploma courses in related field
You can join either the Bar Council of India or a local or state bar council by submitting an application.

Hi,
Ideally you should go for M.CO, MBA or LLB. But it seems that IT industry interests you.
For the same, I may suggest you to pick M.C.A. Go for regular study if have studied Maths in class XII.
Without Maths, you can opt the following ways-
1. Pick Post Graduate Diploma in Computer Applications which will make you eligible for 2nd year M.C.A through lateral entry and simultaneously pursue DOEACC A Level.
2. Distance M.C.A with I.G.N.O.U as it allows you to clear Maths exam and then proceed with the master program.
Simultaneously, you can opt for redhat or industry relevant certifications in order to enhance the career opportunities.
