What is the AIBE Exam?
The All India Bar Examination (AIBE) is a national exam for law graduates in India. It is held by the Bar Council of India. Think of it as a special test that all new lawyers must pass. After completing your law degree, you need to clear AIBE to officially start working as a lawyer in India. The exam checks if you have the basic knowledge to practice law.
Why is AIBE Important? The Certificate of Practice
Passing the AIBE exam is very important. If you pass, the Bar Council of India gives you a "Certificate of Practice" (CoP). This certificate is like an official license. Without it, a law graduate cannot represent clients in court or work as a registered lawyer in India. So, for anyone wanting to become a lawyer after their LLB degree, the AIBE and the CoP are essential steps.
