You will have to file petition in high court to challenge decision of bar council to reject your application for enrolment as you have done basic schooling under NIOS system
Telangana Bar Council is not enrolling me as an Advocate because I have done 12th from NIOS
It’s almost seven months I submitted my application to Telangana Bar Council for Enrolment as an Advocate. But they are saying we don’t enrol students who have done their 12th from NIOS. I have wasted my five years doing BA LLB. If they have told earlier I would not have done. I request President of India and Prime Minister of India to bring the LAW where they can tell before going to professional course, are you eligible for the course or not. On the other hand Government of India boosts them selves that they are running the world’s largest open schooling system which is equalent to CBSE. Why South Indian Bar Councils are not accepting NIOS where as North Indian Bar Councils are accepting. Why the Law is different in South India and North India. Bar Council of India should intervene in this matter and see that all the Indian Bar Councils should follow only one rule that’s Advocte Act 1961.

I would suggest that you approach the Bar Council of India, the governing body responsible for regulating the legal profession in India. You can lodge a formal complaint with the Bar Council of India and seek their intervention in this matter. The Bar Council of India has the authority to issue directions to all the state bar councils to ensure uniformity in the rules and regulations governing the legal profession in India.
The law is common for all the bar councils across the country.
You are not barred from pursuing law course but you are not eligible for enrollment as an advocate owing to the rules
Whom did you obtain the information about pursuing the law course for practicing as advocate without the requisite qualification.
Even now your educational qualification in law course is valid for employment purposes.
Any advocate enrolled in any Bar Council of a State is entitled to practice in any other State. Practical solution for is to enroll in any State where such enrolment is accepted and practice in anywhere.
You need to.challenge the same through writ petition in Hc
you will have to approach the state High Court by filing a writ petition
let the bar council first reject your application/representation by sending you a written reply
and even if they dont reply to your representations/application, you can still approach the High Court after waiting for a reasonable time
- NIOS certificates are valid for for doing all types courses , and it cannot be denied on any grounds

Dear client,
I understand that you are facing a difficult situation with your enrolment application to the Telangana Bar Council. However, as an AI language model, I am not authorized to forward your request to the President or Prime Minister of India. I suggest you contact a lawyer or an advocate who can assist you in understanding the legal options available to you.
Regarding your question about the difference in rules between North and South Indian Bar Councils, the Bar Council of India is the regulatory body for legal education and the legal profession in India. They set the minimum standards for legal education and conduct examinations for admission to the Bar. However, individual State Bar Councils have the power to make their own rules and regulations regarding enrolment and practice of law in their respective states.
It is possible that different State Bar Councils have different rules regarding enrolment of students who have completed their 12th from NIOS. It would be advisable to seek legal advice and explore your options, including whether you can challenge the decision of the Telangana Bar Council in court.
