Hi Rajesh Kumar P,

As per the rules of the Bar Council of India (BCI), one cannot pursue an LLB course through distance/correspondence/online modes. Only a person who has done a full-time LLB is recognized to be eligible to practice law in India.

There are colleges, which promises to allow students to complete their LLB course through distance mode. However, such courses or arrangements are completely illegal and one should not fall for such traps.

Moreover, regarding certain colleges offering innovative degrees in law (which are not eligible for practice in law) may not be recognized by UGC. See the Specification of Degrees by UGC

Hope you get your answer.
