Yes, you can definitely pursue course in the field of Law through correspondence mode. Although there are few institutes which offer such course, but still you can get a chance of admission since there is not a huge number of applicants for the course. However, make sure that you get admission in an institute which is well recognized by DEC and Bar Council of India. You should also keep one thing in mind - you will not be allowed to practice in court if you pursue course in Law through correspondence mode. However, you can get a job of legal position in private companies.
