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.
