I am currently pursuing my bachelor’s in philosophy, however I’d like to get a law degree after this. The problem is this, I was a science student until the last few months of my 12th when I changed my stream to Humanities ’cause I wanted to learn philosophy in uni. I know how the JEE stuff goes but I have no (not an exaggeration, I actually don’t know anything) idea about this lawyer stuff.

Can I ever get a law degree from a reputed college after my bachelor’s? or is that too late? If I can, what exams should I start preparing for? What subjects? I have only studied a little bit of humanities for a few months so I could pass the 12th exam and then get admission in a good university, and that’s where it all ended. Heck, I don’t even remember 99.99% of what I studied for this, it’s been a long while + I’ve never liked history, hated it in fact however I am willing to study it and other subjects if that means I can get admission in a good law college.

So then, what do I do? I am willing to put in the hard work, I am only in my first year of philosophy so I have a long time to prepare for whatever exam. Do law colleges also require CUET? Idk I wanna get admission in one of the top colleges. Also will I have to get a master’s in law since I am already getting a bachelor’s? or can I get another bachelor’s after this? I have no idea about this stuff tbh 🤷‍♂️

There are several good institutions with a good 3 year LLB program. Most places have their own separate entrance for 3 year LLB. DU is cheap and convenient, NLS is expensive but the course is fairly rigorous.

First thing to understand will be if you actually want to do law. Rest comes later. See what a career in law typically entails and it you want it, and then decide to go for it.
