For the last few years in the country, the demand for Law Education i.e. LLB has increased rapidly. Now not only youth, but also employed people want to study law. The reason is clear to start a new career as a lawyer after retirement. Many people have started studying LLB online while working, while some are preparing for it. But there is bad news for them.
Union Law and Justice Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal has clearly stated in the Rajya Sabha that no institute in the country is allowed to study LLB online or in holidays. In such a situation, people who are studying online law with jobs will not be valid.
Question on advocacy after retirement
The Law Ministry also said that many government officials and professional people want to start advocacy after retirement. But if they take LLB degrees online or from holiday classes, then their legal expertise will be suspected.

According to the ministry, advocacy is not a mild or serious profession. This profession is not only limited to the court but also affects the life and rights of the citizens of the country. Therefore, it is necessary that whoever becomes a lawyer, he has studied law with full discipline and high standards.
BCI hawala
The Law Ministry in its statement, citing the Bar Council of India (BCI), said that no university or institute has been allowed to study LLB online or part-time.
According to the BCI, LLB is not just a course to get a degree, but it prepares students to work in the justice system. Practical experience in this is as important as knowledge from books.
Why is LLB not possible online?
Union Minister Meghwal said in a written reply in Parliament that LLB studies are not possible online. He said that this study includes not only lectures and books, but also many other important activities-
- Moot court (practice of debate in fake court)
- Internship (Experience to work with lawyers and courts)
- Assignment and homework
- Exams and practical training
All these experiences are necessary to understand the nuances of the law and make students skilled in advocacy. But it is not possible to complete them through online medium.
Why is the strict rules important?
The government says that falling level of LLB’s education can be dangerous for the country’s justice system. If people adopt a shortcut only to get a degree, then they will not be able to get justice in the true sense and argue in court.
