Though educational institutions may prescribe age limit for admission but there is no age limit prescribed for studying Law. In fact the BCI's enactment prescribing age limit for joining law profession was overruled by Hon'ble Supreme Court. As such I don't think you can be prevented to study law on grounds of overage.

I think Norbu is wrong in his reply.There is the age limit of 30 years as prescribed by BCI and it is applied from 2010 session in all over India. You can't move to HC or SC against this norm.

I agreed Mr. Rajeev kumars advice.  The Tamilnadu has strictly followed that the age limit was 30.  but in Andra pradesh and karnataka governements are not follow  theage  limit.  Now they are admitting the students that above 30 years

I thank Mr. Rajeev for correcting me but I disagree to the point that a norm prescribed by BCI can not be challenged in HC/SC. Pl refer to V.Sudeer V BCI ( AIR 1999 SC 1167 )  and  Indian Council of Legal Aid and Advice V BCI ( AIR 1995 SC 691 ) wherein rules made by BCI were held Ultra vires by the Hon'ble SC.
