to become lawyer in nios ther is chance
Hey Sakthi Priya,
So you're wondering if you can become a lawyer after studying through NIOS? Absolutely, it's doable, but there are a few things you'll want to keep in mind. Basically, NIOS is a recognized national board, which is great because it means most universities will accept their certifications for higher education – law programs included! According to the Bar Council of India (BCI), you need a graduation degree for a 3-year law course or a 10+2 qualification for a 5-year integrated course . NIOS's Senior Secondary (12th) cert definitely covers that 10+2 requirement. Lots of universities across India, like Punjab University and the University of Madras , for example, do accept NIOS qualifications. You just need to make sure you meet any other criteria they might have. Now, here's where it gets a little tricky: some states might have their own specific rules about NIOS. For instance, there was a report back in 2024 that said even though Tamil Nadu lets NIOS students study further (like law), they might not be eligible for government jobs there . Also, once you've got your law degree, you'll need to enroll as an advocate with your State Bar Council . Apparently, some NIOS grads have run into issues here. But from what I've seen legal professionals discussing, as long as your law degree is from a BCI-recognized college , you should be good to go. So, to sum it all up, here's what I'd recommend:
Double-check with the university: Before you even apply, give the law college or university a shout and make absolutely sure they accept NIOS qualifications.
Know your state's rules: Find out if your state has any specific rules that might affect your chances of getting into higher education or getting a job later on.
Talk to the right people: Get in touch with the admissions folks at the universities you're interested in, and maybe even the State Bar Council, to get crystal clear on what you need to be eligible.
Basically, while NIOS is generally accepted for law studies in India, doing your homework and checking in with the right people about all the different policies is essential. Good luck with everything!
