This query is : Resolved
I am a student(without 10th and 10+2) who have completed BA through distance education from Andhra University based on entrance examination held in Jan'1992. The eligibiity criteria for the then entrance test was 20 years as on July'1992.Passed the entrance and got admitted into BA course in May'1992 and completed graduation in the year 2007. Subsequently appeared for law entrance of AU and completed LL.B(3 years) through regular college study in April’2010.
My querries are:-
(i) Is there any minimum age limit at BA entrance level for myself being enrolled as an Advocate with AP Bar Council ?
(ii) I was told that I should have completed 21 years of age at the level of BA entrance exam for enrolment as Advocate. Is it true ?
(iii) What are the correct guidelines of BCI in the matter ?
(iv) What are the options left to me in case of non-enrolment as an Advocate in the light of All India Bar Examination in Dec’2010 ?
Your valuable suggestions and expert opinion is solicited since there are number of students like me who are on the same footing and hailing from remote villages. Your expert opinion will be of utmost help to us. Thanking you sir.

1. No.
ii. No.
iii. Person seeking enrollment should possess Graduation in any discipline and Law graduation what so ever his age may be.
iv. Again appear till you clear such examination but that examination is to be conducted in December 2010 so if have completed law, enroll immediately so that you may avoid that examination.

Thanks a lot for your prompt reply and expertise. I would like to submit that I have completed my LL.B degree in April'2010 and awaiting for enrolment. I would be very glad to know what are the options left to me to appeal in case of non-enrolment as an Advocate ?
