The Bar Council of India (BCI) has officially released the Certificate of Practice (COP) for candidates who successfully passed the All India Bar Examination (AIBE) XIX. This crucial document, known as the AIBE 19 COP , is now available for download. It is a mandatory requirement for all law graduates who aim to practice law in courts across India. Without this certificate, a lawyer cannot legally represent clients or appear in any Indian court.
The AIBE exam is held to ensure that all aspiring lawyers have a minimum standard of knowledge and skills before they start their careers. Passing this exam and getting the COP proves that a lawyer is ready to practice. Students who cleared the AIBE XIX exam can now get their COP directly from the BCI’s dedicated online portal.

Important Note for "Pass (Undertaking)" Results
Some candidates might find that their AIBE XIX result is shown as "Pass (undertaking)." This means there is an additional requirement for them to fulfill before their COP can be issued.
If your result shows "Pass (undertaking)," you must upload your Enrolment Certificate to the official portal. This must be done by March 21, 2026, at 11:59 PM . This deadline is strict. Failing to upload the certificate within this time will cause a significant delay in the printing and issuance of your Certificate of Practice. Make sure to complete this step as soon as possible to ensure you receive your COP on time and can begin your legal practice without interruption.
The Certificate of Practice is not just a piece of paper; it is your official permit to work as a lawyer in India. Therefore, ensuring you complete all the necessary steps for its download and printing is paramount for your legal career.
