LLB stands for Bachelor of legislative law and for pursuing same degree course of five years the required educational qualification is a higher secondary school degree in any discipline from a recognized board of education.

Further as far as you are concerned about the possibility of your admission in LLB degree course having completed your Class 12th with only 61% marks three years ago then you should not be worried about your low percentage of marks in your Class 12th for pursuing LLB degree course as admission in LLB degree in top universities is done through entrance examination rather than through the merit based on marks secured in Class 12th.

For admission in top universities like National Law Universities, Delhi University, Banaras Hindu University, etc. for pursuing same degree course you need to qualify their respective entrance examination which are CLAT, DU LLB entrance examination, BHU UET, etc. .
