I had heard that concept of solicitor is abolished since last 15 years. Anyway the answer is informative one.

Dear Mr. Arun,
You are right.
But the Bombay Incorporated Law Society still conducts the examination and it is really a tough one. Very few percentage of articles are able to clear the examination every year. Since the pass percentage is very less, those who clear it stand in a better footing. Most of the firms in Mumbai are Solicitor oriented.
