Study law to practice in court while working as engineer during day in bangalore

Hello

I am an engineer working as a engineer with a mnc in Bangalore. My office timings are 9am-6pm. Maybe little flexible.

I am looking for proper law colleges that I can attend during evening or morning that offer law degree in Bangalore, so that I can practice as lawyer in Karnataka High Court.

Thank you in advance for your reply.

Quick Summary

An engineer in Bangalore is seeking information on law colleges offering evening or morning classes, enabling them to pursue a law degree while working full-time. The goal is to eventually practice law in the Karnataka High Court. While an engineering background doesn't disqualify them, it's noted that employer permission might be needed, and the Bar Council of India mandates 70% attendance for course eligibility and exams.

Your qualifications or practice as an engineer does not disqualify you from acquiring a law degree, registering yourself as an advocate under the Adovates Act and practising law. But the permission of the MNC employer may be necessary.

However on a general tone 70% attendance is mandatory in each semester of the the course and it is mandatory to attain 70 % in order to be eligible to sit for the exams. This is as per the Rulesof Legal Education of the Bar Council .
