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.
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.
On Question asked by student community
Whether or not signing your full name instead of your signature on the AIBE 19 answer booklet's self-declaration form would result in disqualification is uncertain.

Hello,
If you forgot to mention the booklet code in your AIBE 2024 application, follow these steps:
Act promptly to avoid complications.
Hope it helps !
If you forgot to mention your booklet set code and other details on your AIBE 2024 exam OMR sheet while filling the rest of the information correctly, your exam may not be evaluated properly, and you could potentially face a delay in your results or even have your exam invalidated; however, there might still be a chance to rectify the situation.
Since AIBE exam is OMR based paper and is checked by using a specialized scanner called an "OMR scanner" which reads the darkened bubbles on the sheet, interpreting them as answers, and then comparing them to the answer key to generate a score - essentially, the machine "reads" the marks made on the paper to determine the correct answers, all through a process called Optical Mark Recognition (OMR). If it doesn't recognise your booklet code there are chances that it could not process your answer on code basis.
Reach out to the Bar Council of India (BCI) as soon as possible through their official website or helpline number. Explain the situation clearly, mentioning that you filled in all the details correctly except for the booklet set code and other missing information.
If possible, try to attach a scanned copy of your OMR sheet where you can highlight the correctly filled details and the missing booklet set code.
Hope it is helpful to you!!!
Hi Anirudh,
Using a whitener in the AIBE 19 exam (All India Bar Examination) is generally not allowed, as per the examination guidelines. However, if you used it in just one question and the rest of your answer sheet complies with the rules, the likelihood of outright rejection may be lower, but it ultimately depends on the discretion of the Bar Council of India (BCI).
Wait for Official Notification, Check your result once it is released, If the BCI invalidates your paper, they will usually notify you.
In some cases, minor infractions like using a whitener in a single question may not lead to disqualification, provided the rest of the answer sheet adheres to the rules. However, the final decision rests with the BCI.
Stay calm and wait for the official result or response from the authorities. Mistakes happen, and the best approach is to address them responsibly.
Best Wishes!
In the All India Bar Examination (AIBE), the use of correction tools such as whiteners is generally prohibited. This is because alterations on the answer sheet can interfere with the Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) scanning process, potentially leading to issues in accurately reading your responses.
While the use of a whitener on a single question may not automatically result in the rejection of your exam, it could raise concerns during the evaluation process. The impact largely depends on whether the correction affects the OMR system's ability to accurately read your answer sheet.
Recommendations:
Contact AIBE Authorities: It's advisable to reach out directly to the AIBE administration to inform them of the situation and seek guidance. They can provide specific information regarding any potential implications and advise on any necessary steps you should take.
Monitor Official Communications: Keep a close watch on official announcements or communications from AIBE regarding the evaluation process and any issues related to answer sheet discrepancies.
For future reference, it's best to avoid using correction tools during examinations to prevent any complications during the evaluation process.
