Dear Mr. Manoj,
You are a qualified lawyer. But you sound as though you are a babe in the wood. Don't you have any college friends who have so far enrolled. Are you not in the habit of talking to them on these aspects. Better go to the Bar Council of your State and ascertain the procedure they will tell you. Remember, after enrolment and clearing the AIBE you have to represent your clients before the Court.

Merely obtaining a law degree, i.e. LLB. would not entitle one to practise law as an advocate. The legal profession in India is regulated by the Advocates Act,1961 which in turn provides for the creation of Bar Council of India and State Bar Councils. Therefore, to enter the profession as a practising lawyer, one has to enrol himself/herself as an advocate in any State Bar Council.
