Dear aspirant

Every state has its unique process of registration into the bar council. Once the registration is completed the candidate has to clear the All India Bar Examination (AIBE). The exam is conducted by the Bar Council of India, and the candidate gets the certificate of practice upon clearing the exam. The test is conducted to assesses the basic analytical capabilities and knowledge of the law.

A person shall be qualified to be enrolled as an advocate if he fulfills the following conditions:

He has to pay six hundred rupees to The State Bar Council and one hundred and fifty rupees to the Bar Council of India. If such person is a Schedule Caste or Schedule Tribe then he has to pay one hundred rupees to the State Bar Council and twenty-five rupees to the Bar Council of India.

Once an advocate passes the Bar examination, he/she receives a Certificate of Practice
