Bar Council Test notified

Oh, no... !! Why for me ?

And please Tripathi Sir, I humbly want to say, it is "Kannada"  language. Not "kannad".  Otherwise it sounds like  name of language is Hindified..   :) 

Thanks for the info, Sir.

Suchitra, I am 100% sure you will get through. And Sir.Dr.Tripathi, thank you for the informations, infact BCI should have done this long time back, any way better late than never. Dr. is there any exemption for SC/ST etc? Sorry for my ignorance, but I have not seen the New BCI amendment.

I have read the contents above. It seem to be a good step towards good and healthy legal profession.A decade back  reniors were sadled with the responsibility to check young students entering this profession.This healthy step taken by the Govt. would certainly debar those who have passed using unfair means to pass the L.L.B. Exam. THANKS FOR THE PROPER STEP TAKEN BY THE GOVT.UNDER THE DIRECTION OF  BAR COUNCIL OF INDIA.

sari suchitara,

nau i wil trayi far kannadayijesan end Hindinayijesan of inglis !

Ha..Ha..  :D

1. We the students of Osmania University will complete our LL.B Degree by this Month i.e., June 2010.

2. BCI has anounced to held  the exam in the month of December,2010, and after that, definately it                          will take 2 to 3 months time for results and enrollment.

3. It means, we  have to waste our time for about one year, with out entering into the profession. 

4. Further When they are choosing for the multiple choice(objective) type pattern( exam paper), there is no meaning in  allowing the books and reading materials

This is definitely a good start, if it is really true! I hope they drop the age limit now.

Dear Suchitra,

I respect all languages.  "All" doesn't exclude Hindi which is my mother language and deserves special respect ,  at least more than  non Indian languages !

Sir, for me every language is important and deserves respect equally. I just wanted to clarify how my mother tongue is spelled. Thats it. 

A resolution was adopted by the Bar Council of India on 10 April 2010 to conduct an All India Bar Examination, the passing of which will entitle an advocate to practice law in India. Consequent to the resolution, the following rules were inserted into Part VI, Chapter III of the Bar Council of India Rules. It is yet to be published in the Gazette of India.

Shree Sir, I have a doubt. From the first sentence of your post, I come to know that every advocate who is practicing now, should also take entrance exam. Then only he is entitled to practice in courts, am I right? Pl clarify.

If Advocates  should attned the examination like this , Then what is the use of conducting Enterence before joining LLb course and 3or 5 years LLB education.  Education system should be same in all over india. If Law students has to write these typ of examination then all kind of profession like docters, Engineers also has to Face these kind of Exam and that is were the justice for Exam Rules..'

Conducting entrance examination for practice of law is nothing but insulting the law degrees awarded by the respected universities which are reconized by the University Grants Commission.  There is no meaning in awarding law degrees, if the parliament intends to conduct such examinations.  Otherwise, scrap the law colleges and simply conduct B.C.I. entrance examination and permit any individual who succeeds in the examination to practice law irrespective of the fact whether he is a law graduage or not.  This intention of the Parliament should be condemned.  If really the B.C.I. or for that matter the Hon'ble Supreme Court or for that matter the Government of India wants to increase the efficiency in law professionals, there are many more ways i.e., improving the quality in educdation that is being offered by the law colleges run by the State or the Private Organizations  by providing sufficient funds for infrastructure viz., computersed library,  increase the salary of the factulty in law colleges etc.,   It appears only to help the private organizations i.e., Rain Makers, and other organization the vested interested persons in them are forcing the law students to appear for examination by spending Rs.1,300/-.  If really, the Government of India is intending to improve the quality in profession, the Government should comeforward to conduct examination free of cost.  These are my personal views.       

I agree with Kande Venkatesh that the test should be free. The only reason this test is required is because Universities (which are again run by Govt.) are not doing its job of teaching right. Had the Univ. maintained high standard of law education, there wouldn't have been any need for this exam. And since students are already paying for their Universtity education, the cost of the exam should be borne by the govt. Why should students pay for the failure of Univs. in carrying out their duties?
