Final-year law students who have cleared AIBE also need to clear their final semester law exams before they become eligible for COP. The AIBE 19 result for such candidates is provisional and dependent on whether they clear their law degree exams.
How BCI Issues CoP?
BCI will first issue an online Certificate of Practice as known as the Dummy CoP. Qualified candidates can access the online Cop through the All India Bar Examination app. The online CoP does not have any validity and is merely to check the details for any discrepancies. Candidates can review the details and request for correction in particulars such as name, father’s name, enrolment number, and so on.
After the discrepancies (if any) in the online CoP are rectified, BCI will issue a physical copy of the Certificate of Practice. The copy of the CoP will be despatched to the respective state bar councils from where the qualified candidates are required to collect them in person.

No, a person cannot practice law in India without passing the All-India Bar Examination (AIBE). After completing an LLB degree from a recognized university, a law graduate must enroll with a State Bar Council and must clear the AIBE exam conducted by the Bar Council of India. Only after passing the exam, the advocate receives a Certificate of Practice , which allows him or her to practice law in any court in India.
So, without clearing AIBE, one cannot legally appear or argue in court.
Tip - Prepare well and be a successful lawyer.
Hello, Here is a clear and simple breakdown of who is eligible for the AIBE 20 (All India Bar Examination).
To be eligible for AIBE 20, you essentially need to have completed two main steps after your schooling:
- You must have a 3-year LL.B degree or a 5-year integrated LL.B degree (like B.A. LL.B, B.Com LL.B, etc.). The most important part is that your degree must be from a college or university that is recognized by the Bar Council of India (BCI).
- After you get your law degree, you cannot directly apply for the AIBE. You must first enroll as an Advocate with your respective State Bar Council. Once you enroll, you will get a unique enrollment number. This enrollment number is required to register for the AIBE 20 exam.
In short, the only people who can apply for AIBE 20 are those who have already graduated with a law degree and have also officially registered themselves as advocates with a State Bar Council.
