Hello Niharka Tiwari!

There is no upper age-limit for admission. However a candidate must be at least 17 years of age on the date of application. A graduation degree with 45% marks (40% for reserved category) is the basic qualification required. Universities like DU and BHU require minimum 50% marks while universities like Kurukshetra, Rohtak, Meerut require  only 45% marks in graduation. 

 As per the recent directive by Bar Council of India, applicants who have passed 10+2 or has a graduation degree through distance learning or correspondence mode, will also be considered eligible for admission for the integrated five-year or three year LLB course. However, applicants who have obtained 10+2 or graduation or post-graduation through open universities system directly without having any basic qualifications for pursuing such studies are not eligible for admission in law courses. 

The admission process to law programmes is not uniform. There are law schools admitting students through All India entrance exams like CLAT for National Law Schools/Universities, LLB Entrance Tests for Delhi University, and law colleges admitting students on merit, that is, secured in qualifying examinations. However, a vast majority of the top law schools admit students through entrance exams only. CLAT for NLUs and LLB Entrance Test for DU could be considered to be the most important law entrance exams of the country for five-year and three-year LLB courses respectively 
Eligibility criteria:  “The LLB course is now available in two formats - 5-year integrated LLB course for Class 12 passouts and a 3-year LLB course for graduates of any stream. Those who miss the bus after Class 12 still have an opportunity to study law after graduation.

All the best! Thankyou
