    I am from very poor family, father was expired while studying my 10th std, so I forced to go to job, I chooses ITI welder and finished it, but my interest on studying is no stopped so I joined BBA on open university (Annamamai university) and also successfully completed my MBA in (Madras university) through correspondence, currently I am working for MNC company, i am 31 now, I am very much interested in law studies, is there any possibilities to fulfill my dreams, I beg your positive advise, thank you

    • Sarvgyan Team says:

      We appreciate your zeal towards education. Yes, you may fulfill your dream by doing LLB but for that you should appear the entrance test like CLAT (as national level) or other university level exam. However, it is available through distance learning from IGNOU or BVP Deemed university or others. Some of the private law institutions offer seats in LLB programme on merit basis with handsome fee and without exam. If you will get the regular admission then you should have to quit from your job.

      Education and competition both are hard but career oriented. You should prepare for the CLAT as national level exam. Beside this some of the universities conducts their own examination while some of offer the admission on the basis of merit of 12th. But top law universities only offer the course through CLAT.
