Hello,

That's a great choice indeed. You can definitely pursue an LLB degree even after the postgraduate degree; after all, it needs the qualification of any bachelor's degree with 45% for the general category and 40% for SC/ST/PWD and OBC. Also, to mention, these cut-offs may vary according to the college's ranking system.

LLB (Law Degree) is a three-year course that you can attend at any university under the National Law University with no age limit.

As for the entrance tests, there are certain colleges that prefer admissions through entrance exams such as LLB entrance tests, AILET, and state law CETs.

If you're looking for a distance or a part-time, it's very limited to some colleges that agreed upon the bar council. But mostly law colleges act as full-time colleges. After completing LLB, you can proceed further to complete LLM to have specialization in the space of academics, corporate roles, and even research.

Hope it helps with your query. Good luck.
