I am 24. I appeared for my T.Y.BCom exam in March 2007. I always wanted to study Law. If I want to pursue a course in Law, will the gap prove to be an obstacle in securing admission? I am presently working in the entertainment industry.

Admission for most post-graduate studies is based on your score in your graduation as well as the clearance of the entrance exam and the selection process. If you have been working, then you need not be too worried about pursuing further courses. It’s time you focus on whether you intend to take law as a career or be in the entertainment industry.
