The primary reason for conducting the AIBE examination is to award a Certificate of Practice to the eligible candidates. For the unversed, not everyone who completes their three-year BA-LLB or five-year integrated law program is not eligible to practice as an advocate.

The candidates, after completing their bachelor’s, have to write the AIBE examination. 

This exam is conducted to check if the candidate has all the skills to work as a lawyer. Hence, after completing the program, the candidates write the AIBE exam. Once this is done, they are eligible to get the COP. This makes them eligible to work as advocates in the district or High Courts of India.
