Pass in 12th is the minimum qualification required for bachelor degree in law. Such candidates can apply for 5 year integrated course in law. Graduates in any stream can try for 3 year LL.B course. A minimum of 50% marks is required to seek admission. Entrance test like CLAT are conducted for admission.

Law Degree i.e.Bachelor of Law(LL.B.) can be pursed in two ways:- one after 12th for 5 years duration after 12th and other is after Graduation for 3 years duration.

The eligible candidate aspiring for 5 years LL.B., must be an Indian National having completed 12th in any stream with 50% marks from a recognised Board within the age of 20 years.

The eligible candidate aspiring for 3 years LL.B., must be an Indian National having completed Graduation Degree in any stream from a recognised University with 40% marks within the age of 30 years.

It depends whether you have completed 12th standard or graduation. Because depending on your qualification there are 2 different LLB degrees to pursue. Although I should clear it that there is no difference between the two degrees.

If you have completed 12th standard only the integrated LLB degree is the one to apply. The duration of this degree in 5 years. It is combination of a bachelor degree like B.Com, BA etc and the LLB course.

You can appear for Common Law Admission Test to get admission for this course. The CLAT entrance exam is conducted for National Law University.

2. With minimum of 45 percent marks.

3. SC/ST would require 40 percent marks.

However if you have completed graduation then there is no need to apply for the integrated course. There is no need to do graduation again and instead you should only apply for the LLB degree of 3 years duration.

You can apply for the course from various colleges including Banaras Hindu University and the Delhi University. The criteria for percentage could vary from college to college and while some give admission on merit, other universities like DU conducts entrance exam.
