Hi i passed 12th in 2021 ( covid batch ) since everything was closed so in anxiety joined DU as sciences students but kept simultaneously preparing for neet it was very hazardous to manage both in offline neet prep and bsc so shifted to distance education bsc so i was in Du like 2021-2023 then 2023 took distance mode finally when i couldnot clear cutoff i thought will let this distance finish and side wise join some different and good course so came down to law in reputable law college of south . Is my decision ok or am i going too mmuch

Ans: Hi,

The students from the Covid batch have faced numerous challenges and are still struggling to settle down, including those in school. You have done your utmost to support them. Since you have completed your BSc and are now pursuing a degree in Law, you are in a favorable position.

Consider the possibility of becoming a patent attorney, which is a lawyer specializing in intellectual property law focused on securing and protecting an inventor's rights. Even before you complete your course, I encourage you to seek experiences related to intellectual property rights (IPR).
ALL THE VERY BEST.

Sir i meant that i was in college from 2021-2023 bsc botany then i shifted the course to add more subjects bsc zology botany chemistry in it like but that was distance so meanwhile did law too right now in 2nd year of bsc and 1 year of law ?
Ans: Hi, I still need your clarification before I can confirm the suggestion I shared with you. Could you please address my doubts? Are you pursuing a Bachelor's in Law (BL, not Labour Law) as a regular course while studying for a BSc in distance mode (Physics/Chemistry/Biology)?

I passed high school in 2021 due covid joined delhi uni bsc botany passed 1 year but later everything went offline tried for neet didnot succeed but just to save year and dont put any study gap immediately after opting out bsc botany instead expanded course and took online bsc zoology boyany and chemistry in 2023 but later 2024 switched to full course offine cpurse of ba llb .
Ans: Hi,
Based on your reply, I came to understand that you have not completed a single degree since 2021. Therefore, you have wasted almost three years and have yet to finish even one degree. Please try to complete your BA (LLB) without any further delays.

Kindly note that an offline or regular course is always better than an online or distance mode.

ALL THE BEST.

What can i do to make me atleast good if not ideal , ace law with good grades and do a lot or certification nd simultaneously study my sciences also so that if at all i get Q regarding that domain i have some answer ?
Ans: As you have experienced, preferring science subjects in online or distance education courses may not help you gain the necessary knowledge or practical experience. Instead of spreading yourself too thin, focus on law and develop your competency in this field by studying case studies in the same field. This approach will enable you to excel in the future. You have the potential to achieve great things!

ALL THE BEST.

Also just now my 1 st semester results came of ba llb i have topped my university does that creates any special mark in my law proffession ?
Ans: Hello.
Gone through the journey and finally came to know that you are topper in University in BA LLB.
First of all, I would like to congratulate you on this grand success. Forget all your worries and what happened in the past. Focus on the Law and then do a PG in Law. Study hard. You can set goals to become a good lawyer, or judge or to give your services to the private sector in the future. The law field is always an evergreen field and will remain in the future. Per day, the demand is rising.
At last, Even you can think of becoming an international lawyer! It depends on you, your study, and your dedication to mold yourself for the future. Best of luck for your future.
