If you're really very seriously interested in law then pursue Company Secretaryship. It's like 60% law and 40% accounting, finance and management. Your BBA might help you in the 40%, but for the rest, you have to give your best. Later on, you can do LLB along with CS articleship, which is done by many CSs. All the best.
This is the best route one should take to land a good job in the corporate world if one already has a UG degree, especially in a commerce-related field.
1. NLS nikal le. You might, might get into good law firms and then earn money. Very difficult (around 40 Open seats for General Non Karnataka Male). I don't think DU LLB has any placements. It is good, but, job-wise, I don't think so. Most people who are there are actually preparing for CSE and do it side by side.
2. MPP in USA me ghus ja. Waha pe 1st year ke baad, top univ me dual degree ka bhi option aata hai. But, give the LSAT before hand. It is comparatively easier, as they have to take some dual degree people. JD Degree is valid in India (I think).
3. NLU O also has started their 3y program. Apply there.
Dream route -
4. J-PAL type (under Prof Esther Duflo or Prof Abhijit Banerjee) evidence-based policy making or Yale Inclusion Economics India centre me ghus ja. Kaam kar 5y. Rise through the ranks. Get good recommendations from foreign Profs (Yale has Stanford Profs too). Now apply to Harvard Kennedy School. Get in. Now after 1st year apply to Dual Degree in law.
And finally become a Harvard JD wala Lawyer. Some people from DU have done it. Search on Linkedin, HLS, HKS.
