The CoP is essentially a license that authorises advocates to practice law in India. Introduced in 2009-2010, it became mandatory for candidates to secure this certificate from their respective State Bar Councils after successfully clearing the AIBE. Law graduates will have to pass the AIBE within two years of their provisional enrollment. If they fail to do so, they are required to renew their enrollment with the State Bar Council and reappear for the next session of the examination. The BCI has not imposed any restriction on the number of attempts for AIBE. This means aspirants can take the exam multiple times until they secure the minimum qualifying marks, which are as follows:
| Category | Minimum qualifying marks for AIBE |
|---|---|
| General/ OBC category | 40% of total marks |

All candidates obtaining above the minimum marks will be considered as qualified/ Pass, and those who are not able to secure the minimum marks will have to take the next session of AIBE. Those who qualify for AIBE will be able to obtain the COP as mentioned below.
