AIBE is a National level entrance examination conducted to assess the capability of an advocate who wants to practice law in India.

The exam will be conducted in 11 languages and candidates will have to select any one language according to their preference. Candidates clearing AIBE 2022 will be awarded the "Certificate of Practice".

WHAT IS COP?

• The full form of COP is a Certificate of Practice (COP). It is awarded to candidates who have
• qualified for the AIBE exam and is required to practice law in Indian courts.

Can I practice law without the COP?

A simple law graduation (3-year or 5-year LLB) is not enough to practice in a court of law, as

the COP is a mandatory certification. So, if a law graduate wants to practice law in Indian

courts, they need to qualify the AIBE exam.

Who issues the COP certificate?

The Certificate of Practice (COP) will be issued by the BCI to all candidates who have

qualified in the AIBE exam.
