What is a Liberal Arts Degree - Meaning, Benefits, Fees, Colleges

If you have completed a BA common core degree from Andhra University, even without completing Intermediate (10+2) through the conventional route, your eligibility for BL or LLB depends on how your earlier education is recognised by the university and the Bar Council of India (BCI).

As per BCI norms, candidates seeking admission to a 3-year LLB or BL programme must have completed a recognised bachelor’s degree following the 10+2 pattern of education. This means that your admission to BA should have been based on a qualification that is considered equivalent to Intermediate by the university and the education authorities.

If Andhra University admitted you to the BA programme through a recognised alternative pathway, such as open schooling, bridge courses, or a qualification accepted as equivalent to 10+2, then your BA degree is considered valid. In such a case, you will be eligible to apply for 3-year LLB or BL programmes, subject to individual university admission rules and entrance exams.

However, if Intermediate was completely bypassed without any recognised equivalency, some law colleges and state universities may raise objections at the time of admission or enrolment with the Bar Council. This is why it is very important to verify whether your BA admission was officially recognised as 10+2 equivalent by the university and relevant education boards.

To avoid future complications, you should contact the law college or university where you plan to apply, explain your academic background clearly, and confirm eligibility in writing. If required, you may also consider completing a recognised open Intermediate qualification to strengthen your eligibility and avoid issues during enrolment as an advocate.

In summary, you may be eligible for BL or LLB, but final confirmation depends on whether your BA degree is recognised as following the 10+2 pattern as mandated by the Bar Council of India.
