What is the maximum age limit for admission to 5-year BA-LLB course? Can I do BA LLB 5 year-course at the age of 45?

The upper age limit which was 22 years was lifted. So, now a person may pursue 5-year course even at age of 45 years as well. However, it has been earlier the situation that at such an age, only 3-year course was available, but owing to the latest orders no such bar applies. Also, through distance learning, you may do the course at any age. However, the course may lose its significance, as the course was drafted for young students after their class 12th, but nevertheless there is a right to education for every citizen.

Well, the maximum age limit criteria is no more applicable as of now owing to the Supreme Court’s order on a PIL. The upper age limit which was 22 years was lifted. So, now a person may pursue 5-year course even at age of 45 years as well. However, it has been earlier the situation that at such an age, only 3-year course was available, but owing to latest orders no such bar applies. Also, through distance learning, you may do the course at any age. However, the course may lose its significance, as the course was drafted for young students after their class 12th, but nevertheless there is a right to education for every citizen. So, as of now you can do 5-year BA LLB at any age you wish to. Also, there may be an order setting upper age limit for the course may be passed by the courts in the interest of public. So, yes you are lucky, if you have a chance before any further order to go for integrated course even at 45 years of age.

Hello, Earlier maximum age limit for admission to an integrated 5-year B LLB. course has been fixed by the Bar Council of India. Earlier the age limit was 20 years for integrated 5-year BA LLB course. Now the age has been increased to 22 years for integrated 5-year BA LLB course. The Bar Council of India has already intimated their decision to the Apex Court i.e. the Supreme Court of India. If your age is 45 and you want to pursue law, then you have the option to choose 3-year LLB course, which is permitted by the Bar Council of India. For 3-year LLB, the maximum age limit was 30 years and the same has been increased to 45 years. Both of the age limits are applicable in case of regular mode of study. But, if someone opt for distance mode of study, then there is no such maximum age limit to study law. But, on 3rd March 2017 the Supreme Court of Indian has stayed the age bar policy of the Bar Council of India. So, now there is no maximum age limit for admission to 5-year BA LLB course.
