The eligibility to pursue LLB course is candidate must have passed bachelor degree from recognised university. The minimum required marks to appear for examination to get admission in varies with different colleges/universities.

Being a Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com) degree holder you are eligible for pursuing Bachelor of Legislative Law ( LLB ).

As for pursuing LLB course the minimum educational requirement is a higher secondary school degree course in any discipline from a recognized board. But on the ground of higher secondary school degree level one is eligible for pursuing only LLB course of five years.
