Study LLB in Distance Learning mode

Uncategorized

NOTE: For the benefit of students, we would like to clarify that Delhi Law Academy does NOT provide LLB degrees, either in distance learning or normal mode. We are a Law entrance exam coaching institute. This article is meant to be an informative guide for people seeking out options for distance learning LLBs, to know the pros and cons of such an option.

Everyone wants to go for a rewarding career and strive hard to get education for the same. Today, Law courses are in high demands as these courses enable the candidates to serve justice to the poor and the downtrodden. Earlier Law courses have been provided only in regular mode but now you can also study LLB in Distance Learning mode.

However if you want to be a lawyer in future, LLB through distance mode is not a good option because the Bar Council accords no recognition for BL/LLB through distance mode or evening colleges for practicing as an advocate. If you want to practice as a lawyer you have to necessarily enroll in a recognized college or university and complete the three-year course in regular mode.
