Pursuing an LLB degree through a distance learning mode (open university) isn't a viable option for practicing law

The Bar Council of India (BCI) regulates legal education in India. They don't recognize LLB degrees obtained through distance learning for purposes of practicing law.To practice law in India, you need to pass the All India Bar Examination (AIBE) conducted by the BCI. An LLB degree recognized by the BCI is mandatory to be eligible for the AIBE.

I hope it helps!
