The exam notification is issued under the authority of Rules 5(i) and (ii) of Order IV of the Supreme Court Rules, 2013, and Regulation 2 of the Regulations governing the AoR Examination. These regulatory provisions are central to ensuring that the examination process upholds the highest standards of fairness and rigor.

Aspiring candidates must pay close attention to the outlined eligibility criteria. Only those advocates who have completed at least one continuous year of training – commencing at the end of their fourth year of enrollment and concluding no later than April 30, 2025 – are deemed eligible to sit for the exam. In addition, any candidate who is poised to complete the mandatory training before the exam commences will also qualify. A key component for application acceptance is the presentation of a valid training completion certificate from an already accredited Advocate-on-Record, as stipulated by Regulation 6 of the governing AoR Examination Regulations.
