Hey there,
There are many colleges which offer BL/LLB through distance learning, you can see the same from different universities website. I think Annamalai, ignou, Kakatiya univ are some of them offering the same. Please check the same.
However, thereafter you wont be able to practice as an advocate since for practicing a full time course is needed as minimum qualification. Bar council of india does not recognise it, see the link definition 2(iv)

Dear Mr. Muthukumaran,
There are no recognised distance education for LL.B. which will enable you to practice as an Advocate.
In other words, a three year LL.B. course has to be pursued in a regular college, to be eligible to practice as an Advocate.
Any other courses like B.L. etc., (and that too conducted through distance education) are not recognised qualification for practising as an Advocate.
