Legal Advisory- After LL.B, you can join not only corporate firms, but also organizations such as NGOs, individual law firms, Banks, Think Tanks (such as Vivekananda International Foundation), etc. Please keep in mind that you need to qualify the exam of Bar Council of India before you can do any of these.

Having an LLB through distance learning would not serve you better than just having a degree for a namesake. As the degree is not recognizes by the Bar Council of India, and thus permission to practice is not given by it. As the Bar Council of India doesn’t recognize it, so you would not be allowed to even take up Judicial services exams. However, you may take up your preparations for UPSC in some cases or have a legal aid center of your own. Also, no legal officer vacancy admits LLB through Distance learning so that option is also not available. So, it would be advisable to go for a regular law degree to have better prospects and career in future. You will get all opportunities once you have a regular degree of law. Thus, distance course does not serve the purpose as such and it is just a degree for name sake with no practical availability. Also, you can’t be termed as an advocate by having such a degree.

Some private colleges in India offer LLB program through distance learning, but the Bar Council of India does not recognize this course. You will not be able to get into litigation, neither can you go for judiciary services examination. I will rather advice you to take up a regular LLB course than distance learning. And, if you do LLB as a part time course, you may get job opportunities, but the scope would be limited. So, if you want a good career as a lawyer, I would suggest you to go for a regular LLB course.
