What is the age limit to do LLB through Delhi University and to give examinations for Judge?

Well, there is no age limit as such fixed as of now, as the earlier upper age bar was lifted by the Supreme Court on a PIL filed by 2 aspirants. However, there is an upper age bar on judicial services exam, which differs from state to state for instance, in UP the upper age limit is 35 years while in Haryana it is 40 years. And, for Delhi also it may be fixed to 32 years most probably. So, you do not have any age limit to do LLb, but if you aim at judiciary, then you have to make sure to complete the degree within the age limits of judicial services exams of a respective state you look for. However, you may choose to appear for Higher Judicial Services, where the age bar is available upto 45 years and, thus you get a chance to become a judge after satisfying other eligibilities. Thus, in a nutshell, age does not really is a bar to become a judge provided you plan it accordingly, as after a maximum age you would be ineligible for any of the 2 exams.

Hello, In Delhi University, the maximum age limit was fixed to 30 years to do LLB course. But, according to the Apex Court i.e. the Supreme Court's order dated 03.03.2017, which puts a stay on Bar Council of India's age bar policy Delhi University LLB aspirants can now fill the application form irrespective of their maximum age. In other words, there is no maximum age for filling Delhi University LLB application form 2017. In Part IV of the Delhi Judicial Services Rules, 1970 the age limit for the eligible candidates has been mentioned. As per Section 14 (c) of the Delhi Judicial Services Rules, 1970 states, "not more than 32 years of age on the 1st day of January following the date of commencement of the examination.” That means no candidate is allowed to sit in such examination, if his age is above 32 years.
