Aspiring lawyers celebrating having made it to a law college; hold your horses. Turns out, your admission is subject to the outcome of the ongoing case in the Bombay HC against the age-bar mandate that has recently been instituted by the Bar Council of India (BCI).

In a recent amendment the BCI capped the age of five-year-course students at 20 years old; for the three-year-degree, the limit is set at 30 years old. The colleges have now added an undertaking to those above the prescribed age bar that the admission is subject to the court ruling.
