28 June 2014 in September 2013, the age limit for admission the law degree was removed by BCI.

Please refer

"Bar Council Of India has specified that under Rule Of Legal Education 2008, clause 28 schedule 3 of 2nd rule of legel education, has no age limit for the students. Now the students can take admission in law courses without any age obligations."

with regards to enrollment to Bar, there are no age limits by most of the state Bars...Please note that BCI doesn't prescribe any age limit. It is for the state Bar council to decide on its own.
