But what happened next? That’s where most candidates get stuck.

Here’s what nobody tells you: checking your result is the easy part. 

Understanding your marks, knowing whether you qualify for reappearance, and figuring out how to register as an AOR, that’s where the real confusion begins.

Maybe you missed by a few marks and don’t know if you can reappear.

Whatever your situation, this guide has you covered.

I’m breaking down the complete AOR result process, from logging into the Supreme Court website to collecting your final enrollment certificate. No legal jargon. No confusion. Just clear, actionable steps.

Think of this as your post exam survival manual, whether you’re celebrating or strategizing your comeback.

Let’s get started with the basics: where and how to check your AOR result.

But first, let us look at the latest AOR results.

What was the Latest AOR Result?

June 2024 AOR Exam Result Declared

The Supreme Court of India declared the Advocates on Record Examination June 2024 results on January 23, 2025, approximately seven months after the exam was conducted. 

The examination was held from June 10 to June 15, 2024, at the Supreme Court premises in New Delhi. This result announcement allows successful candidates to begin their registration process and commence their Supreme Court practice journey.

How Many Candidates Qualified in the Latest AOR Exam?

A total of 356 advocates successfully qualified in the AOR Exam June 2024, marking a significant increase from previous years. 

The Supreme Court also released a list of candidates eligible to reappear for specific papers they couldn’t clear in this attempt. This represents one of the larger batches of qualified AORs in recent examination cycles, reflecting the growing interest among advocates to practice before the apex court.

Who Topped the AOR Exam 2024?

Advocate Debapriyo Bhattacharya secured the first position in the AOR Exam 2024, achieving top honors in this prestigious examination. 

The toppers’ achievement reflects not only their comprehensive understanding of Supreme Court practice and procedure but also their commitment to the highest standards of legal excellence required for apex court advocacy.

How to Check Your AOR Result Online?

Where are AOR Results Published by the Supreme Court?

Official Supreme Court Website for AOR Results

The Supreme Court of India publishes all AOR examination results exclusively on its official website. 

You’ll find the results under the AOR Examination section, which contains result PDFs and paper wise marksheets. 

The website serves as the only authentic source for AOR results, so don’t rely on third-party platforms or unofficial announcements that may circulate before the official declaration.

Complete Process to Check Your AOR Result

Step 1:Navigating to the Supreme Court Official Website

Open your web browser and type “sci.gov.in” in the address bar to access the Supreme Court of India’s official website. 

Once the homepage loads, look for the main navigation menu at the top of the page, where you’ll find various sections, including “Advocates.” 

Make sure you’re on the correct official domain (.gov.in) to avoid fraudulent websites that may appear in search results claiming to provide results.

Step 2:Accessing the AOR Examination Section

Click on the “Advocates” option in the main menu, which will open a dropdown list of advocate related services and information. 

From this dropdown, select “AOR Examination” to access the dedicated section for Advocate on Record examination related notifications, results, and study materials. 

This section contains all official communications from the Supreme Court regarding the AOR exam, including application notifications, admit cards, result announcements, and marksheet PDFs, organized chronologically.

Step 3:Downloading the Result PDF

Once you’re on the AOR Examination page, scroll through the chronological list of notifications to locate the most recent result announcement. 

The result is typically published as a PDF document with a title like “Result of the Advocates on Record Examination held in [Month, Year].” 

Click on this link to download the PDF file to your device, which contains the complete list of qualified candidates arranged by roll number or alphabetically by name.

Step 4:Finding Your Roll Number and Result Status

Open the downloaded result PDF and use the search function (Ctrl+F on Windows or Command+F on Mac) to quickly locate your roll number or name in the document. 

The result format typically displays your serial number, roll number, and name if you’ve qualified, or indicates which papers you’re eligible to reappear for.

If you’ve successfully cleared all four papers, your name will appear in the main qualified candidates list with your complete roll number details.

How to Download Your AOR Exam Marksheet?

Accessing Paper wise Marks from the Supreme Court Website

The paper wise marksheet is published as a separate PDF document on the same AOR Examination section of the Supreme Court website, usually uploaded simultaneously with or shortly after the result announcement. 

Download this marksheet document to view your individual paper scores, which provide detailed performance analysis across all four examination papers.

What Information Does the AOR Marksheet Contain?

The AOR marksheet displays your roll number, name, and marks obtained in each of the four papers: Practice and Procedure of the Supreme Court, Drafting, Advocacy and Professional Ethics, and Leading Cases. 

You’ll also see your aggregate total marks and percentage, along with a clear indication of whether you’ve met the qualifying criteria of 50% in each paper and 60% aggregate. 

For candidates who didn’t clear all papers, the marksheet shows which specific papers need to be reattempted and your performance level in each subject.

What is the Passing Criteria for the AOR Exam?

Minimum Marks Required in Each Paper

You need to secure a minimum of 50% marks in each of the four papers to qualify as an Advocate on Record. 

This means scoring at least 50 marks out of 100 in Practice and Procedure, Drafting, Advocacy and Professional Ethics, and Leading Cases individually. 

Even if you score exceptionally high in three papers, failing to achieve 50% in even one paper will result in not qualifying, though you’ll be eligible to reappear for the failed paper(s) in the next examination cycle.

How Is the Aggregate Score Calculated?

The aggregate score is calculated by adding your marks from all four papers (a total of 400 marks) and computing the overall percentage. 

You must achieve a minimum aggregate of 60% across all four papers combined, which means scoring at least 240 marks out of 400 total marks. 

Here’s what’s crucial: you need BOTH conditions satisfied simultaneously – 50% minimum in each individual paper AND 60% in aggregate total. 

So even if your aggregate is 65%, but you scored 45% in one paper, you won’t qualify.

What were the Past Pass Rates of the AOR Exam?

How Many Candidates Appeared vs. Qualified Over the Years?

AOR Result Statistics in 2022 and 2024

Let me walk you through the recent AOR examination statistics that paint a clear picture of the exam’s difficulty level. 

In December 2022, the Supreme Court conducted the AOR examination, where 815 candidates appeared, and 260 advocates successfully qualified, representing approximately a 32% pass rate. 

Additionally, 93 candidates were permitted to reappear for specific papers they couldn’t clear. These numbers show that roughly two-thirds of candidates don’t clear the exam on their first attempt.

The June 2024 examination saw 356 advocates qualifying for the AOR designation, which represents a significant 37% increase in successful candidates compared to 2022. 

The increase in qualifiers could indicate either a larger number of well-prepared candidates or slightly improved pass rates compared to previous years.

What Is the Actual Pass Rate for the AOR Exam?

The AOR examination has a notoriously low pass rate, roughly ranging between 20% to 30% according to various legal education sources and historical data analysis. 

In practical terms, approximately 70- 80% of candidates who attempt the exam fail to clear it on their first attempt. 

Among the 1,000-1,200 candidates who typically attempt the exam annually, only about 200-350 succeed in qualifying. This makes the AOR exam one of the most challenging legal examinations in India, requiring not just theoretical knowledge but practical familiarity with Supreme Court procedures and extensive preparation time.

Which AOR Exam Papers Have Higher Failure Rates?

While the Supreme Court doesn’t publish paper wise failure statistics officially, analysis of candidate experiences and examiner feedback suggests that Paper II (Drafting) and Paper IV (Leading Cases) emerge as the most challenging for different reasons. 

Paper II sees high failure rates because many candidates underestimate the specificity required in Supreme Court drafting. Even advocates who regularly draft for High Courts discover that Supreme Court formats, legal grounds, synopsis requirements, and procedural citations have unique conventions.

Paper I (Practice and Procedure) is challenging but manageable if you systematically study Supreme Court Rules and key constitutional provisions. Paper III (Professional Ethics) requires analytical thinking, but the question volume is reasonable. Papers II and IV demand the most intensive, specific preparation and consequently see higher failure rates

How Long Does It Take for AOR Results to Be Declared?

Typical Timeline from Exam Date to Result Declaration

The Supreme Court typically takes 6 to 8 months to declare AOR examination results after the exam is conducted. 

For instance, the June 2024 examination held from June 10-15, 2024, had its results declared on January 23, 2025, approximately seven months later. 

This extended timeline is standard for the AOR examination due to the comprehensive evaluation process involved in assessing subjective answers across four detailed papers.

Why Do AOR Results Take 6-8 Months to Be Announced?

The lengthy result declaration timeline reflects the rigorous evaluation standards maintained by the Supreme Court for this prestigious examination. 

Each of the four papers contains subjective, descriptive type questions that require careful assessment by senior legal experts who evaluate not just legal knowledge but also drafting skills, analytical ability, and practical understanding of Supreme Court procedures. 

The Board of Examiners comprises senior advocates and judges who meticulously review answer scripts, conduct paper wise moderation, calculate aggregates, and verify that all qualifying criteria are properly met before finalizing the result, a process that simply cannot be rushed without compromising the examination’s integrity.

What Steps Must be Taken after Passing the AOR Exam?

What Should You Do Immediately After Your AOR Result Is Declared?

Verifying Your Result and Marksheet

Once the result is declared, immediately download both the result PDF and your paper wise marksheet from the Supreme Court website to verify your qualification status. 

Cross check that your roll number, name, and marks are correctly recorded in both documents, and calculate your aggregate percentage to confirm you’ve met both criteria: 50% minimum in each paper and 60% aggregate. 

If you notice any discrepancy in your name spelling, roll number, or marks calculation, contact the AOR Examination Cell immediately at [email protected] or call 011-23115879 with your details and supporting documentation.

Collecting Your AOR Certificate from the Supreme Court

You’ll need to collect your AOR certificate in person from the Supreme Court Registry.

When you visit to collect your certificate, carry your original Bar Council enrollment certificate, identity proof (Aadhaar/PAN), and a copy of the result showing your qualification, as the Registry may verify your identity before handing over this important document.

How to Register as an Advocate on Record After Passing the Exam?

Submitting the Registration Application to the Supreme Court

After collecting your AOR certificate, you need to submit a formal registration application to practice as an Advocate on Record before the Supreme Court. 

You’ll receive this application form when you collect your certificate, or you can obtain it from the AOR Examination Cell (Room No. 307, 3rd Floor, B-Block, Administrative Buildings Complex, Supreme Court of India, New Delhi – 110001). 

The application must be completed accurately with all required details, including office address within a 16 km radius, clerk information, and Bar Council enrollment particulars.

The registration application along with all supporting documents and a recent passport size photograph, needs to be submitted to the Supreme Court Registry for processing. 

You should also pay the prescribed registration fee of ₹250 at this stage.

Once your application is received, it will be processed by the Registry and then listed before the Chamber Judge for formal approval to practice as an AOR.

What Documents Are Required for AOR Registration?

Office Proof Documentation (Within 16 Km Radius)

You must establish and provide proof of an office located within a 16 kilometer radius of the Supreme Court building. This can be a rented chamber, shared office space with another advocate, or owned property; the key requirement is the proximity.

Acceptable office proof documents include: rent agreement or lease deed (duly notarized), property ownership documents if you own the premises. The address proof should clearly show that the location is within the mandated 16 km radius.

Clerk Registration Details

You’re required to have a clerk who will assist with filing work and court procedures, and this clerk must be registered with the Supreme Court. 

You must register your clerk with the Supreme Court within one month of your own AOR registration being finalized. 

You can hire a clerk from the pool of experienced clerks working in the Supreme Court vicinity. Many clerks work for multiple AORs simultaneously, so you don’t necessarily need an exclusive full-time clerk initially.

Registering your clerk with the Supreme Court involves submitting an application to the Registry along with the clerk’s documents. The application should include your clerk’s full name, date of birth, residential address, educational qualifications, and contact details. You’ll also need to attach photocopies of the clerk’s identity proof (Aadhaar card, voter ID, or passport), address proof, and educational certificates.

Your clerk must provide passport size photographs and give specimen signatures, which will be maintained on record by the Registry. Once the application is processed, the Registry will assign a unique registration number to your clerk.

Bar Council Enrollment Certificate

Submit a self attested copy of your Bar Council enrollment certificate showing you’ve been enrolled as an advocate for at least four years before the exam date. The Supreme Court verifies that you met the eligibility criteria at the time of taking the exam, so ensure your enrollment certificate matches the details you provided in your original exam application.

What Is the Chamber Judge Approval Process?

Your application will be processed by the Supreme Court Registry, which verifies all your documents, confirms your office location is within the permissible radius, checks your clerk’s registration status, and ensures all eligibility criteria are satisfied. 

After Registry verification, your application is listed before the Chamber Judge, depending on the Chamber Judge’s sitting schedule and the number of pending applications.

What Happens During the Chamber Judge Hearing?

The Chamber Judge hearing is a formal but straightforward procedural requirement where multiple AOR registration applications are listed together on a single date. 

During the hearing, the Chamber Judge reviews your application file, verifies that all documentation is in order.

 Once satisfied, the Chamber Judge passes a formal order allowing you to practice as an Advocate on Record before the Supreme Court.

How to Become a Member of SCAORA?

Supreme Court Advocates on Record Association Membership

After receiving the Chamber Judge’s approval order, you should apply for membership in the Supreme Court Advocates on Record Association (SCAORA), the professional body representing all AORs practicing before the apex court.

You can collect the SCAORA membership application form from the association office located within the Supreme Court complex.

Benefits of SCAORA Membership

SCAORA membership offers significant professional advantages, including participation in association meetings where important Supreme Court practice matters are discussed and decided. 

The association also organizes continuing legal education programs, workshops on recent legal developments, and networking events that help you build connections with senior AORs and potential referral sources for cases.

What are the Reappearance Rules for Unsuccessful Candidates?

Can You Reappear for the AOR Exam If You Fail?

What Are the Reappearance Eligibility Conditions?

Yes, you can reappear for the AOR examination if you fail, but there are specific conditions governing reappearance eligibility. 

If you’ve failed in one, two, or three papers while passing the others, you’re eligible to reappear for only those failed papers in the next examination cycle.

 However, if you fail all four papers in a single attempt, you cannot appear in the immediate next examination, you must skip one full examination cycle before you can attempt again. This means failing all papers results in approximately a two year gap before your next attempt, considering exams are typically held once a year.

The Supreme Court publishes a separate list along with the main result showing candidates who are “eligible to reappear under Regulation 11(i)” for specific papers.

If your name appears in this list with specific paper numbers mentioned, it means you’ve cleared some papers and can carry forward those marks while reattempting only the failed papers. 

Your passed paper marks remain valid, and you only need to secure the qualifying marks in the papers you’re reattempting to ultimately qualify as an AOR.

How Many Times Can You Attempt the AOR Exam?

You’re allowed a maximum of five attempts to clear the AOR examination throughout your legal career. This five attempt limit is cumulative and includes both full attempts and paper wise reappearances. Each time you sit for the exam, regardless of how many papers you’re writing, it counts as one attempt. 

So if you fail one paper in your first attempt and reappear for just that one paper, that reappearance counts as your second attempt out of the five permitted.

Do Your Passed Paper Marks Carry Forward?

Yes, your passed paper marks are carried forward and remain valid for your next attempt, which is a significant benefit of the AOR examination system. If you cleared two papers with 55% and 62% in your first attempt, those exact marks are counted toward your aggregate when you reappear for the remaining two papers. 

You don’t need to rewrite the papers you’ve already passed, and those marks stay on record as part of your final aggregate calculation.

What Is the Strategy for Preparing for Your Second Attempt?

Learning from Your First Attempt Result

Your first attempt marksheet is your most valuable preparation tool for the second attempt. Analyze it thoroughly to identify exactly where you fell short. 

Look at which papers you failed and by what margin: failing with 45% requires a different strategy than failing with 30%. 

For papers where you scored in the 45-49% range, you’re very close and need focused improvement in specific areas rather than a complete syllabus revision. 

For papers where you scored below 40%, you need comprehensive preparation as if attempting that paper for the first time.

Try to obtain feedback from your senior AOR mentor or your training supervisor about common mistakes in the failed papers, review previous years’ question papers to understand examiner expectations for those specific papers, and compare your preparation approach with successful candidates who cleared those papers. 

Many candidates fail not because they lack knowledge, but because they don’t write answers in the format or style expected by the Board of Examiners or because they run out of time during the three-hour paper.

When Should You Attempt the Exam Again?

If you’ve failed one or two papers, you should consider reattempting in the immediate next examination cycle, provided you have adequate time to prepare thoroughly for those specific papers; typically, 6-8 months of focused preparation for 1-2 papers is sufficient. 

If you’ve failed three papers or failed by significant margins (below 30% in papers), you might want to skip one examination cycle voluntarily to ensure you’re truly ready, even though you’re eligible to reappear immediately.

For candidates who failed all four papers and are therefore mandated to skip one cycle, use this extended preparation time wisely, aim for at least 12-15 months of systematic preparation covering all papers comprehensively. You can refer to this guide for cracking the AOR Exam.

Work full time or part time with a practicing AOR during this period to gain practical exposure, join a structured AOR preparation program that provides guidance and answer writing practice, and create a realistic study schedule that you can sustain alongside your regular legal practice.

The key is attempting your next exam only when you’re genuinely confident about clearing it, not just when you become eligible to appear.

Career Planning Based on Your AOR Result

How Does Clearing the AOR Exam Change Your Legal Career?

Income Potential as a Qualified Advocate on Record

According to data from practicing AORs and Supreme Court practice analysis, a new AOR typically earns between ₹12,00,000 to ₹20,00,000 annually, assuming you’re actively building your practice. This isn’t passive income; you’ll be filing cases, drafting petitions, and attending hearings regularly to hit these numbers.

Mid-career AORs with 10 years of practice comfortably earn ₹30-50 lakh annually. At this stage, you’ve built a referral network, established corporate client relationships, and your fees have increased substantially. You’re no longer chasing every case; clients are seeking you out, and you can be selective about the matters you take on.

Senior AORs with 15+ years of practice and a strong reputation regularly cross ₹1 crore in annual income. Some top practitioners earn ₹2-3 crore or more, especially those with specialized practices in constitutional law, taxation, or corporate matters. These are the advocates whose names appear in landmark Supreme Court judgments, and their billing rates reflect their expertise and track record.

What Types of Supreme Court Cases Can You Now Handle?

As a qualified AOR, you gain the exclusive right to file and represent clients in all types of Supreme Court matters including Special Leave Petitions (SLPs) challenging High Court judgments, writ petitions, transfer petitions seeking case transfers between High Courts, civil and criminal appeals, review petitions, curative petitions, and original suits under Article 131. 

You can handle constitutional law cases challenging legislation or government actions, taxation appeals from various tribunals and High Courts, criminal matters and appeals against convictions, service law matters involving government employees, commercial disputes, intellectual property appeals, family law matters reaching the apex court, and arbitration related matters under the Arbitration Act.

The beauty of Supreme Court practice is that you see cases from across India covering every conceivable area of law, from land disputes in Kerala to service matters from Jammu & Kashmir, from corporate taxation issues involving multinational companies to fundamental rights cases protecting individual liberties. 

This exposure to diverse legal issues from different jurisdictions makes AOR practice intellectually stimulating and allows you to develop either a broad generalist practice or deep specialization in specific legal domains where you build expertise and reputation over time.

Should You Move to Delhi After Becoming an AOR?

Can You Practice as an AOR While Based Outside Delhi?

Yes, you can absolutely practice as an AOR while residing outside Delhi. This is one of the most common misconceptions about AOR practice that prevents many talented advocates from pursuing this qualification. 

While you must establish an office within 16 kilometers of the Supreme Court building (which means the office needs to be in Delhi), you personally don’t need to live in Delhi permanently. 

Many successful AORs are based in Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata, Pune, and other major cities, maintaining a small Delhi office for regulatory compliance while operating their primary practice from their home cities.

You can travel to Delhi when your matters are listed for hearings, or you can even appear online unless you need to remain in person. For routine filings, your clerk can handle the physical filing work based on your electronic drafts and instructions. 

This model allows you to leverage your AOR status while continuing your existing practice in your home city, which many advocates find to be the ideal balance.

What If You Don’t Clear the AOR Exam in Your First Attempt?

Alternative Career Paths While Preparing for Reappearance

Not clearing the AOR exam in your first attempt doesn’t mean your Supreme Court aspirations must be put on hold entirely or that you’ve wasted your preparation time. 

You can work as a junior advocate under established AORs, handling their drafting work, research assignments, and even making appearances in their matters with their authorization. This gives you Supreme Court exposure, builds your understanding of apex court procedures, and generates income while you prepare for your next attempt. 

Many AORs actively look for qualified juniors who have attempted the exam and understand the Supreme Court system.

How to Leverage Your AOR Preparation in High Court Practice?

Your AOR exam preparation significantly enhances your capabilities as a High Court practitioner, even if you haven’t yet qualified as an AOR. 

The in depth study of Practice and Procedure makes you more aware of proper pleading formats, procedural requirements, and drafting standards that improve your High Court work quality immediately. 

Your study of leading Supreme Court cases gives you a strong case law foundation for High Court arguments, when you cite Supreme Court precedents accurately and apply them effectively to your High Court cases, judges notice the quality difference.

Many advocates find that their AOR preparation helps them draft better SLPs. You can also leverage your Supreme Court knowledge to offer clients comprehensive litigation strategy planning that factors in potential appeal prospects to the apex court, making you more valuable than advocates who think only about the immediate High Court stage. 

Additionally, inform your High Court clients that you’re preparing for AOR qualification, which builds confidence that if their matter goes to the Supreme Court, you’ll be able to handle it yourself rather than having to engage another advocate.

Conclusion

The AOR result marks a pivotal moment in your legal career, whether you’ve successfully qualified or need to reappear for certain papers. 

For successful candidates, the journey from result declaration to actual Supreme Court practice involves several concrete steps: collecting your certificate, completing registration documentation including office proof and clerk details, obtaining Chamber Judge approval, and joining SCAORA. 

After which, you’re ready to accept Supreme Court briefs and commence what will likely become one of the most rewarding phases of your professional life.

If you haven’t cleared all papers in this attempt, remember that the AOR exam’s difficulty is legendary, with low pass rates; not succeeding on the first try puts you in the majority, not an unfortunate minority. 

Use your marksheet to identify specific improvement areas, work with a senior AOR to gain practical Supreme Court exposure, and prepare strategically for your next attempt. The paper wise reappearance system and the provision for up to five attempts ensure that persistent, well-prepared candidates eventually succeed.

Either way, your commitment to pursuing Supreme Court practice through the AOR route demonstrates professional ambition that will serve you well throughout your legal career.
