Yes, you are eligible to pursue 3 years Law degree after completing your graduation. Candidates who have completed their graduation from a recognized college/university are eligible to pursue LLB course. There is no age limit to pursue Law, so you can pursue it at any stage of your life. You have to appear for Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) and the selection will depend on the marks secured in the examination.

If you belong to General or Unreserved category, then I am very sorry to say that you are not eligible to pursue Bachelor of Law course with the above mentioned details. Yes, as far as Bar Council of India rules maximum age of a candidate must not exceed 30 years in order to pursue this Law course. And there will be an age relaxation for reserved category candidates of 5 years. So the maximum age for SC/ ST/ OBC candidates would be 35 years. If you have completed 12th Class from a recognized open school and belong to SC/ ST/ OBC then I am very sure that you are eligible to do this Law course. On the other case, you are not eligible to do this course.
