Useful Tips
Write your FULL NAME exactly as it appears on your mark sheet, in the exact sequence as required on each form. Middle Name must be written.
Your photograph must be taken in “uniform” which means that it must be in formal attire, preferably in a coat and tie.
The photograph should be of stamp size. (May different from state to state)
All document copies need to be attested. Getting the attestation from your college principal is the simplest, cheapest and fastest. Else, any gazetted officer, Special Executive Officer or member of the Bar Council will do.
You need to submit the recommendations of 2 advocates who have been in practice for more than 10 years. Don’t forget to get their enrolment number and enrolment date, which will be on their Advocates ID Card.
For any query directly contact the office of your respective State Bar Council.
