1) , if candidates acquire any degree (10+2/graduation/post-graduation) from open universities which are otherwise recognized by the University Grants Commission (UGC), they would not be granted admission to law courses by the BCI.

2) The council is of the view that a formal education comprising 15 years (10+2+3) of study and a non-formal distance education course of three years under an open university cannot be granted equal status. The BCI affidavit is backed by the provisions under the Bar Council of India Rules, 2008, which differentiates between regular and non-regular students. The affidavit is in response to a petition filed.

The eligibility for CLAT is 10 + 2 pattern, any qualifying examination not conforming to this criteria may not be recognised either for practice or for judicial officer appointments after that.

In June last year bar council of India made a rule that it will not allow students from open varsity to take admission. Isn't that rule being overlooked?

This rule has not been revoked so far and remains effective.
