Unless you wish to pursue a BSc or a B.Tech, LL.B, you may choose any stream that may interest yourself. All the streams have their own advantages when pursuing Law because study at school is rudimentary when we turn to read those subjects further at the Law School. So if you are not having any special inclination for Commerce or Science streams, you might as well opt for Humanities. The reason is that Humanities is the edifice of Law. It acquaints you the development of social and political order. The understanding you develop from the subjects taught in Humanities, serve as a launchpad for pursuing Law because when you undertake the degree course of Law, you already would have developed a perspective on fundamental questions as — what is Law? What does Law do? Why am I reading Law?
These questions would help you choose during admission at Law School as to which degree course you are curious about and wanting to read. That is to say, whether B.A., LL.B or a BBA, LL.B or B.Com, LL.B. The idea of having these many choices integrated with degree of Law, is to give you an opportunity to read what you want to read, experience Law in the context of B.A or BBA or B.Com and develop new trends in this otherwise, conventional profession.
Truth be told, there is no defining guideline which could help students in deciding which stream should they study if they want to pursue law. Law is such a subject, which can coincide and overlap which every part of life. I have seen engineers and doctors, after completing their graduate degree pursue law. I belong to a science background and now I am a commercial lawyer, practicing dispute resolution. An economics student can very well pursue "law and economics". It is such an evolving area that your passion alone can determine your interest in the subject. The benefit of law is that no matter when you decide to pursue law, there will always be scope for you to practice it. Humanities or subjects of art, such as history, political science do help you in understanding law, but that doesn't act as a barrier or pre-requisite for you to pursue law. You can always learn those subjects which studying the BA subjects in your 5 year integration. Having said that, if someone is interested in law, they should just pursue it and have the determination to read a lot.
With increasing interest of students in the field of law, most universities now have programs like B.Com LLB, BBALLB as well as B.Tech LLB and Bsc LLB but most opted program still remains BALLB. Although there is no compulsion to be from science, commerce or humanities to get into a law school but the subjects of humanities play important role if you decide to choose BALLB as prior knowledge of subjects gives you an edge over others. The knowledge of humanities subjects will also help you if you choose (B.Com or BBA) LLB in subjects like Constitution of India or maybe Environmental Law or Law of Torts and most importantly if you decide take CLAT(Common Law Admission Test) qualifying which will ensure your seat in top law universities across the nation. Although if you're from science or commerce that will do as well. From Science, one can go ahead with Bsc Law which has become very trending. And even after pursuing engineering, one can get into college like IIT Kharagpur to pursue LLM with specialisation in IPR. Well, here is what I think. Don't forget to tell me what's your take on this?

Not an expert in the field but I watched this nice webinar on "Career options in Law" by Meraki only. Here's the link: www.merakicounselling.in/events
