Law is one of the most respected professions and sought-after fields in the world. After graduating with a law degree from a recognised university, students can opt for various careers such as a lawyer, legal advisor, or judge. However, due to its high demand, many students may wonder whether it is possible to pursue a law degree through distance or correspondence mode. While distance learning is gaining popularity in recent times, students must understand a few things about pursuing law through distance mode.
Various law courses are offered in India, however not all the courses are recognised by the BCI as being equivalent to a law degree. Some of the courses offered in law are mentioned below.
UG Courses in Law
PG Courses in Law
According to the circular released by BCI, it does not recognise MA Law as equivalent to a LLM (Legum Magister). LLM degree is specifically created for law students, while an MA consists of broader academic subjects and is considered separate from an LLM degree.
Law as a career is regulated by the Bar Council of India (BCI). It governs legal education and law practice. According to BCI, it does not recognise any law degree pursued through online, distance, correspondence, open or distance mode. It mandates that law education should include classroom lectures, moot court and practice.
While distance or correspondence mode may sound intriguing to law aspirants, legal education requires practical training and moot court practice. All these requirements cannot be met successfully through distance mode. To practise law in India, students need to pass the All India Bar Examination (AIBE).
To conclude, legal education cannot be attained through open and distance learning (ODL mode). To pursue a Law degree, students must have an LLB or LLM degree from a recognised institute in India and successfully clear the All India Bar Examination (AIBE) examination.
Hello, With a rank of 16141 in the Tamil Nadu Law Admission process, getting a seat in top government law colleges might be difficult, since their cutoffs usually close at much lower ranks. Government law colleges in Chennai, Madurai, Trichy, and Coimbatore generally fill up quickly with candidates below 8000–10000 ranks. However, this does not mean you are out of options. You still have a fair chance of securing a seat in self-financing law colleges or private institutions that are affiliated to Tamil Nadu Dr. Ambedkar Law University. Many of these colleges admit students with higher ranks during later rounds of counseling, especially if seats remain vacant. You should carefully track each counseling round, as rank cutoffs fluctuate depending on the number of applicants, reservation category, and seat availability. If your goal is simply to secure admission to pursue law, private colleges remain a strong option. Also, consider keeping backup choices ready in case government college admission does not work out.
The entrance exam is tentatively scheduled for the third week of September 2025 and the merit list for the Calcutta University Law Entrance Test 2025 is expected to be announced approximately one week after the exam.
Actually it is delayed due to a legal dispute regarding OBC categorization in West Bengal.now you have more time to prepare so dont waste it in thinking about exam date and drain your energy.
Hope it helps..
Admissions for 5-year integrated law programs like BA LLB or BBA LLB usually begin after Class 12 results are declared. For 2025, most universities and law colleges will start their admission process around May–June once board results are out. Entrance exam-based colleges begin even earlier with exams held in December–April. So if you’re looking for admission in state/private colleges, keep an eye from June onwards.
Thank you!
