The All India Bar Examination (AIBE) is a national-level exam for law graduates who want to practice law in India. It is conducted by the Bar Council of India to make sure new advocates have the basic legal knowledge and professional skills needed to work in courts.

Once you pass AIBE, you receive a Certificate of Practice, which allows you to officially start practicing as a lawyer in Indian courts. The exam is held across many cities in India and is available in multiple regional languages to make it accessible to candidates from different backgrounds.
