Quick Summary

An individual who passed their first year of an LLB in 1984 from Mumbai University wishes to complete their degree after taking early retirement from a banking job. They are seeking guidance on how to proceed, specifically asking if they can gain direct admission to the second year of the 3-year LLB course, having completed the first year and kept terms for the second. The advice provided confirms that individuals of any age can pursue legal education in India, subject to eligibility criteria and potentially needing a prior undergraduate degree for the 'new' LLB courses, but also addresses the possibility of re-entering the 'old' course based on prior completion.

Respected Sir,

Yes you can pursue a degree in law at any age. According to the order of Honorable Supreme Court, candidates of any age can pursue the legal education in India. However, a llb degree can only be pursued in post graduation which means that you should already have a under graduation degree in any discipline.

For giving a qualifying exam like all other students you should also fulfill the basic eligibility criteria. If you are eligible than you can sit for the qualifying exam and once you clear the exam and achieve the required marks you can get admission in a college.

As for qualifying the exam, go through the syllabus provided for the exam and prepare accordingly.

I hope I was able to help.
