Distance LLB

The Bar Council of India (BCI) doesn't recognize Distance LLB degrees because they lack the necessary focus on practical skills development crucial for lawyers. These skills, like courtroom advocacy and legal document drafting, are best learned through in-person interaction and participation in simulations, which distance learning struggles to replicate.

The BA LLB can be pursued right after Class 12th, however, for admission to an LLB degree, candidates should hold a bachelor's degree. Both degrees are valued for their own curriculum. An LLB degree has all the law subjects, whereas, a BA LLB degree, as the name suggests, includes Arts subjects along with law subjects. Therefore, since BA LLB degree is offered in full-time mode by top colleges, candidates can also secure great placement opportunities as well.

No, as per the Rules of Legal Education 2008 prescribed by the Bar Council of India, a Department or College or Institution conducting correspondence courses through distance education shall not be included. Therefore, the rules categorically disallow colleges to offer LLB courses in distance mode. Hence candidates must make cautious decision before applying for these courses.

Hi,

You can't do LLM after a distance LLB in India.

Here's why:

• The Bar Council of India doesn't accept distance LLB. So it's not really counted if you want to study more.

• To do LLM, you need a proper LLB degree from a recognized college. A distance LLB won't work for that.

Hope this makes sense now!

As per BCI, LLB distance is not an valid degree so avoid this. Please do the regular LLB degree.

Distance LL.B is not approved by Bar Council of India.UGC also strictly prohibit distance LL.B and LL.M .Although there are some DDE offering distance LL.B ( academic ) like Anamali.
