2. If you are a law grad but not qualified lawyer in India, then just get registered in India first then write sqe
Degree is not an issue here as some people who have heard things about QLTS and don’t know anything much about SQE would suggest
Also some universities like university of law in the UK will tell you that you need to do a bridge course first to write SQE - not true. Foreign qualified lawyers can write sqe, no bridge course needed.
If in doubt, write a mail to law society and SRA, they would respond.
Remember- do not try to qualify as a foreign educated law student, try to qualify as a foreign qualified lawyer.
All the best!
