AP LAWCET 2023 Sparks Controversy
Deccan ChronicleKurnool: Several students who have completed distance education courses are unable to pursue legal education due to restrictions imposed by the Bar Council of India. This rule is often interpreted by many law colleges in the state this year to mean that candidates with distance education qualifications -- ranging from SSC to graduation -- are ineligible for admissions, even if they have successfully cleared the entrance test. On the other hand, a correspondent from a law college in Anantapur and a member of the BCI asserted their refusal to admit distance education students, citing adherence to BCI guidelines that provide no room for legal education through distance learning. In light of these complications, many deserving distance education candidates find their dreams of pursuing law studies in jeopardy.
