Once you qualify AIBE 20:
- The Bar Council of India forwards your qualification status to your State Bar Council.
- The State Bar Council processes your CoP application.
- You may need to submit:
- AIBE 20 scorecard
- Enrollment details
- Required identity/proof documents
- Any fee as prescribed by the State Bar Council
- After verification, the CoP is issued either:
- Physically, or
- By post/e-delivery (varies by state)
CoP issuance timelines vary from state to state.

Answer:
