Yes. He is eligible for enrollment in the Bar Council of the state to practice as an advocate.

Some bar councils do not recognise the distant mode of bachelor's degree obtained by the candidate as a qualification for enrolment as an advocate, hence yoiu may better enquire from your state bar council about the eligibility in your situatuion

Of course s/he is eligible to be enrolled as an "Advocate" if fulfilling other conditions and not debarred under the BCI Rules / Advocates Act, 1961

In India, the Bar Council of India (BCI) regulates the enrollment of advocates. According to the BCI, a non-LLB degree obtained through distance mode may not be eligible for enrollment as an advocate. The BCI has specific rules regarding the qualification and eligibility criteria for enrollment as an advocate. As per the BCI's rules, a candidate seeking enrollment must have: 1. Earned an LL.B. degree from a recognized university or institution. 2. Completed the degree through a regular, full-time course (not distance or correspondence). However, there are some exceptions and additional considerations: 1. If the non-LLB degree is in a related field like law, justice, or human rights, it might be considered. 2. Some universities offer integrated law courses (e.g., BA-LLB or BBA-LLB) through distance mode, which may be recognized. 3. The BCI has relaxed rules for certain categories, like those with a law degree from a foreign university or those who have completed a bridge course. To clarify, check with the Bar Council of India or your state's Bar Council for the most up-to-date information. Additionally, consult with legal experts or the institution where you obtained your degree to determine the best course of action.
