Hello student,

The minimum qualification required to study law is- 10+2 passed in any stream. 10th passed students, who want to study law, must go for 11th and 12th standard schooling in any stream- Science, Commerce or Arts.

After completing 10+2 board examination, they may study law. There are two course formats available in India, when it comes to law education-

• Integrated Law course- can be pursued directly after 12th
• Bachelor of Law (LL.B.)- can be pursued after graduation

Passing any one of the above mentioned course is necessary, if one want to become a Lawyer. To start practice, apart from clearing any one of the above mentioned course, one must also appear for Bar Council examination, clear it and enroll with the Bar Council.

Law courses prepare one to don the role of a legal professional. The course covers topics such as legal principles, laws and regulations in India, legal procedures and moot court sessions.

Some of the well known Integrated law programs available in India include- BA LL.B., B.Com. LL.B., B.Sc. LL.B. and BBA LL.B. Yes, dual degrees are involved in such programs, like I mentioned above. Depending on one’s interest, one may go for any of the above mentioned law programs. Duration: Integrated law course is 5 years long.

LL.B. is a PG course. It can be pursued after completing graduation. It is the traditional law course. If you are not interested in pursuing law directly after 12th, you may go for any 3 or 4 years long graduation program, complete it and then pursue LL.B. Duration LL.B. program is 3 years long.

Cheers!
