In order to pursue LLB after 12th, one must not be over 20 years if belongs to general category and 22 years if belongs to Sc/St category. The maximum age limit for reserved category may be relaxed more on state level depending upon the regulation of the state government.
So, as you have passed your 12th 6 years back, your present age must be somewhere around 23-24 years and if it is so, I am not too sure if you will be eligible to pursue the course even if you belong to reserved category.
Besides LLB, there are other diploma courses as well as degree course in law offered by few universities, holding any such qualification will not enable you to practice in the court of Law and enroll as an advocate. So, if you are willing to take Law as profession, you have got to do LLB and since you can't pursue as per your present qualification and age, you may complete bachelors degree program in any discipline and then pursue LLB course and the maximum age limit to pursue the course after graduation is 30 years. The age limit is relaxed for reserved category.

i got just 43.33 % in 12 exam . so what can i do now ?

same questation mera bhi hai magar mera gap 10 year ka hai

Law as a career option is kind of a defamed one. As it has been my personal experience that even after being in one of India's best National Law Universities, people still have notions that just because I couldn't get through engineering or medical exams, I had no other option than to go for Law. But let me put it clear and straight for upcoming law aspirants.

Studying law is completely different from what it was ten years ago. Thanks to the upcoming National Law Universities in various states (like IITs are to engineering, IIMs are to MBA, NLUs are to Law). Today practicing in court is not the only option left after you complete law course. The most advantageous point about this field is that it is not restricted to a specific background of a student in his senior secondary classes. Be it a student having non-medical, medical, commerce, or humanities background; he can comfortably pursue a graduation in law. Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) is the most prestigious entrance test for getting into eleven National Law Universities. Student from any background can prepare for this test. Thus when you enter into a good law college, you have people from different backgrounds competing with you. This adds different perspectives to your knowledge.

As I have mentioned about personal and professional growth in the beginning, you may ask how studying laws help in this regard. But before I go on clarifying this, I must make an honest confession that whatever I am talking here pertains to study of law at a good university. A graduation in law at any other private college just for the sake of a degree will be of no use and of course no personal growth. Even today, law as a career option in India is completely different when it is taught in a National Law University or other good colleges from what it is in any other average Law College.

Now, most importantly, the main issues I want to highlight are the options you have if you undertake a study of Law after your 12th. This should allay all those fears that a graduation in law does not leave you with much of options. Following are the various career options:

1. A Practising Advocate:

Nothing needs to be explained regarding this profession. This is the most conventional route people adopt after completing their study. I recommend this career option for those who already have any of their family members as practicing lawyers of judges. Indian courts function like a sabzi mandi (this was stated by one of India's most eminent jurists M C Chagla in his autobiography) leaving a very less scope for the first generations lawyers. Even if you are hard working and capable of moving things your way, you will be into your 30s when your pocket will be full of client fee and table full of case files. Many would contest my contention stating it as pessimistic, but ground realities cannot be usurped through a misguiding untrue optimism. Thus those who are lawyers in heredity should definitely opt for court practice because their clientele is already stable and they will be inheriting an already established name.

2. Corporate Counsellors:

My generation also the forthcoming ones suffer from corporate philia. There is a growing craze for some big corporate firm and earn handsome amounts. For such aspirants, studying law offers an interesting and a relatively new career option of working as corporate counsels with law firms or corporate houses. Law firms are not known as are IT firms amongst people. But this is a strongly growing industry where a few lawyers get together and open a firm for providing legal services to other firms/companies. These firms are paid huge amounts by their client companies for fighting their legal cases. Nowadays, this industry is also getting specialised into various fields like International Trade, Mergers and Acquisitions, Intellectual Property Rights, Banking, Insurance, and many others. Thus it offers a lot of scope for graduating lawyers. Most of the National Law Universities have successful campus placement records.

3. Civil Services or Judicial Services:

The most coveted and also the most difficult to crack is the UPSC Civil Services Examination. But even the UPSC officials in many of their briefings have agreed that law students are most likely to take benefit of their study pattern which is similar to the Civil Services Exam pattern. Thus after studying law, one can prepare for this prestigious exam in a better way. In a sense, law students always have an edge as compared to the students from other fields. This is because law students study many of those subjects which are required for the preparation of this examination. Moreover their familiarity with the current affairs makes it easy for them to prepare. Thus those students who are laborious and see themselves as future civil servants in the country should opt for law as their graduation.

4. Jobs with NGOs:

Studying law at a good institute develops in you a social bent of mind. You start thinking for the society. Some of the students currently in their senior secondary classes must be aspiring to work for the social development or other allied issues. It is not so in today's scenario that such a kind of profession has lesser incentive value. Rather if money consideration is low, it has a very high fame potential because you might emerge at the national or even global stage. A study in law gives you immense scope for such kind of jobs. Indian civil society has expanded substantially in the last fifteen years, opening thousands of job opportunities in various NGOs. These organisations prefer law students because of their familiarity with the local laws and also due to their research potentials.

5. Academician/ Teaching:

With the education sector expanding at such a rapid rate in India, Law Universities are facing huge deficit of good law teachers. This has led to an increase in the pay and emoluments as well. Moreover, there are plenty of government jobs in this sector. Thus law graduates after completing their masters can also look forward to teaching as a profession.

Conclusion:

Law as an area of study has reoriented itself. It has immense potential to absorb intellectual, hard working and ambitious lawyers. Any student who wishes to have all the options open I front of him after the completion of graduation can opt for law as his study. Studying law at a good institute enriches your personality; makes you a vibrant, confident and an aware citizen. Just to conclude, I would say that any field can prove to be a failure for you if you fail to work hard and develop interest. Teachers, parents or even Gyancentral.com don't possess any magic band to make it work for you. It has only to be you.

heyyy dearrr,
You have 2 options : either you choose to study Law after 12 th wherein it will take you 5 yrs course which will conclude as an LLB grad.Or, you study for Law after any degree & it will take you 3 yrs to complete your LLB.So, logically speaking it is better to join after 12th ,as you save on a year's period. The minimum requiremnts in an average University /college is 45 % in 12 th.But if you plan to join NALSAR /NLSIU & other biggies in the filed then you will also be expected to give the Common Entrance Exam for Law which i think has begun in effect from this year onwards.

Best Luck...!!!!!
