What subject do i need to do when i want to become an advocate.in which school must i study.

There is no specific subject requiement in school to become lawyer in India. Just finish your school with good marks in 12th and then you can apply for the LLB course.


LLB which stands for Bachelor of Laws is the bachelor level course you would have to do in order to become lawyer in India. There are two options in front of students after completing 12th. They can either go for BA LLB or complete graduation and then apply for LLB course.


Now become I explain the difference, please remember that both degrees hold same value when looking for the job. One degree would not give any advantage over the other. The difference is that BA LLB can be done after 12th. It includes B.A. course as well. The duration of this course is 5 years.


On the other hand to pursue 3 years LLB course, you would first require to complete graduation. This would take 6 years to become lawyer after completing 12th while in BA LLB you have become lawyer in 5 years. This is the reason why a lot of Law schools in India have moved to BA LLB course.


The admission procedure for both courses is difference. To get admisison in BA LLB you will first have to clear the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) exam. While for LLB you can get admission based on your merit or by appearing in entrance exams.
