• Secure the Bar practice certificate early; it must be signed by the Principal District & Sessions Judge and explicitly state “at least two years’ actual practice.” Applications without this in the prescribed form risk rejection.
• If currently in Government service, keep NOC aligned to JKPSC norms ready for verification and interview stage.
