There are no any age limit restriction for LLB aspirants for doing LLB in 5 years format as well as in 3 years format.
Recently Supreme court of India (SCI) has given decision related to Bar Council of India's(BCI) suggestion to restrict age limit for LLB aspirants.
SCI stays the BCI decision and declared that there will be no any age limit restriction for the aspirants who want to become LLB.
Now a person with any age can do an LLB with any LLB college.
For doing LLB, one have to first complete the graduation in any field then and then one can eligible for LLB course.
So if you still not complete your graduation then first complete it, after that join any LLB institute.

To do LLB course you must need to qualify entrance exams such as CLAT (common law admission test) and LAWCET (law common entrance test) which conducted by college and universities in Andhra Pradesh.

Eligibility criteria for LLB course:

-LLB is on the basis of marks scored at the graduation examination you must complete your graduation with the minimum of 40% marks.

-Relaxation is given to SC/ST categories.

-Those who have done post graduation I get 2% extra weight age.

According to Bar Council of India, the age limit is increased from 20 to 22 years for 5 years law course and from 30 to 45 years for 3 year graduate course.

No there is no age limit for studying 3 year LLB program in India.

Based on an old BCI recommendation, some law colleges Put age bar of 30 years for admission but that does not hold good as the said recommendation was state by courts.

So, as of now, there is no age bar to join LLB 3 Year program.

Age Criteria Required for doing LLB Course:

As far as Old BCI recommendations are concerned, there is no certain age criteria required in order to pursue this LLB course. So, as far as my best knowledge is concerned there is no certain age criteria required for doing LLB course.

Some of the criteria basically varies from one law institute to another law institute. Some of the law institutes conduct their own entrance Examination (LAW CETs) common Entrance Examination's for getting admission into LLB (Bachelor of Law) course.
