Yes why not. If the institute that you did LLB from has been recognized by the Bar Council of India then the State Bar Council is bound to enroll you.
Yes, you are very fit and eligible to be enrolled as an advocate in your state Bar Council.
Thank you all for your valuable reply. Now the Karnataka State Bar council has kept the Nios candidates files aside as they consider NIOS candidates are not eligible since it is an 'Open schooling' system. Kindly guide me on this to enroll successfully as an Advocate.

It may be an ''open school system'' but if the institute is recognized by BCI then it cannot refuse to enroll you. Move the High Court for necessary binding directions to the State Bar Council.
1) you will have to move court to challenge decision of bar council to reject application of advocates who have done basic schooling under NIOS system
The qualifying examination for pursuing law degree should be in accordance to the stipulated regulations.
As per BCI Rules of legal education under section 2 (viii) “First Degree” means Bachelor Degree in any branch of knowledge such as Arts, Fine Arts, Science, Commerce, Management, Medicine, Engineering, Pharmacy, Technology etc. conferred by Universities or any other qualifications awarded by an institution/authority recognized by the Bar Council of India, from time to time.
The applicants who have obtained 10 + 2 or graduation / post graduation through open Universities system directly without having any basic qualification for prosecuting such studies are not eligible for admission in the law courses.
You may think of your position now.

You have to wait for the review or clearance by the Karnataka Bar council in this regard.
There is no legal option for this.
Sir, a Candidate who holds his secondary and senior secondary from NIOS has enrolled himself in one of the Northern state of India and also in Karnataka state Bar council. On what basis this candidate would have enrolled? Help me on the same above.
Asked 7 years ago
if Karnataka bar council has admitted another candidate from NIOS it cannot discriminate against you
2) file RTi application with KBC as to on what basis other candidate was enrolled .
3) then based on legal advice move court for necessary reliefs against KBC rejecting your application
This candidate might have suppressed the information material to the enrolment and should have fraudulently got himself enrolled or he might have possessed requisite qualification as envisaged in the rules of Bar Council of Karnataka.
A law graduate can be enrolled in only one Bar Council at a time. He can apply for transfer of his roll to another bar council but cannot be enrolled with two bar councils at the same time
