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.

| Category | Minimum qualifying marks for AIBE |

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.

The AIBE syllabus is considered moderate in difficulty, focusing on fundamental legal concepts rather than complex, specialised knowledge. However, since it is no more the open-book exam, candidates have huge syllabus to cover.
