See, the Distance LLB degree is not recognised by the Bar Council of India; hence, this programme is not provided by any UGC-approved university in India. Though you can check out some institutions like Mbitious Institute of Professional Studies, Atharav Distance Education, Pratham Institute of Education, Vidyasaathi, Success Path Institute of Management, etc.
These institutes will provide you with a Distance LLB degree to help you gain knowledge in legal studies, but you really can't start a Law career with it.

Yes, a 3 year LLB Distance Education should be enough to provide the necessary legal knowledge, as the Bar Council of India does not recognize this degree, you can not go for the AIBE exam, which is a prerequisite to start practicing Law in India. Spending more than 3 years in the distance LLB program would not be a suitable choice.

See, the Bar Council of India does not allow any distance programs or degrees to pursue the AIBE exam, which is mandatory to practice Law in India. So, if you have plans to serve in the judiciary services, there's no point wasting your 3-5 years in a distance program.
However, if you just want to gain some legal knowledge or maybe upskill, then it's a good choice. For example, if you're interested in Legal Journalism or are already in the field, a distance LLB degree will give you the flexibility to work as well as gain knowledge about the Law.

No doubt, a Distance LLB will provide you with the flexibility and convenience, along with cost-effectiveness. It will also limit your practical training, chances of getting hired, and campus life experience. It is important to know that the Employer prefers candidates with a regular LLB degree, especially in fields like Law.
The Bar Council of India may also recognize your distance degree for direct course practice. So, it is important to check the Accreditation of the programme and the college.

The exact number of papers variesas per the colleges, but if we talk about the average you'll face around 10–12 exams a year.

For electives, you can pick cool options like IPR or Environmental Law depending on your vibe and what your college offers.
