Rishabh,
There are many subjects that will help with a pursuit in law. Outside of any specific field of law, you will be doing a ton of research and writing, so focusing on subjects that advance those skills are useful (communication courses, writing courses, business, and other entry-level courses). You will likely also have to have a good grasp on history, political science and other liberal sciences
Pany schools have a Pre-Law course structure as well which can help in identifying specific courses that can help you on your journey.
Best of luck.

Beyond specific subjects - lawyers are very detail oriented people. This is important for a profession where literally every word counts. Understanding a particular subject can be useful if you are looking at a specialized field, but the basics of reading, research, writing, generating arguments, coming up with counter-proposals, being on top of every details - these are the real skills needed to be a lawyer.
