Dear Arjun,

Dear Usha Ma'am, I have received 2 different answers. You have said that I can enroll for BA degree from IGNOU while doing my regular BA LLB (5yrs) from another university. And another expert is advising me that it is legally not possible for doing BA from IGNOU (simulteninously) while doing my BA LLB regular course.It is totally confusing me. 

I repeat my question again - I am 2nd year BALLB student of a reputed deemed university. Since I am interested to study Psychology as a main subject in BA I would like to enroll for BA from IGNOU and at the same time I will continuoue with my BA LLB regular course also. Is any legal issues for taking admission in IGNOU. Please advice me.

Thanks in advance.

I am really sorry for I assumed the other BA course you wished for, to be a full-time course, by which logic I gave my last answer. However, I agree with Ms. Usha Kapoor. Upon further digging, I came across the fact that UGC recently, in 2013, allowed students to enroll in two courses simultaneously, where the second course could be from an open university or in the form of Distance Learning. This was allowed from the academic year of 2014-15 onwards.

So yeah, you can go ahead and enroll yourself for BA in Psychology in the form of open/distance learning mode.

Thank you Arjun for your reply.

I am aware of the UGC's 2013 Notification. Nobody will stop me from enrolling the BA from open university simultaneously with my BA LLB. My main concern is that whether the  Bar Council will issue me license to practice as a lawyer or not after completing my LLB ? I am worried about this point.

These highlighted words indicate that the BA course from IGNOU will fall under the scope mentioned there in and therefore would be exempted from the prohibition. As per this provision, there should be no hindrance because of this issue in your practice as a lawyer.

Thank you so much Arjun. Thanks  especially for giving reply patiently to my each queries. Now the picture is clear.
