The Bar Council of India (BCI) has issued a statement dissociating itself from an alleged advertisement for an online law course on a website deceptively similar to that of the Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU). BCI, the regulatory body for law education in the country, said that an attempt was made to show that this advertisement is on the website of IGNOU and the advertisement states that the university is starting admission through distance mode in LLB for the year 2022.
