Taken from the FAQ of Bar council of India:
Can I work with an advocate or a practicing law firm while preparing for the All India Bar Examination?
In order to practice law in India, any student graduating in law from Academic Year 2009 – 2010 onwards will be required to pass the All India Bar Examination. However, the advocates can submit an undertaking with the State Bar Council (format available at the State Bar Councils) till they receive the Certificate of Practice after passing the All India Bar Examination to be conducted on January 8, 2012. Please note the undertaking is valid only till January 8, 2012.
Practically speaking, any law graduate who does not have practical experience at the bar will spend their formative years working under a senior or within a structured system at a law firm. The advocate can continue with such assistance and learning, but will not be allowed to actually practice law themselves (file a vakalatnama, issue opinions etc.) till they clear the All India Bar Examination.
