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.

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.
