SEE HOW WE COMPARE

Ready to Supercharge Your AOR Preparation?

Here’s what changes when you prepare the right way and under the right mentorship.

Before

  • No clear roadmap for AOR preparation unsure where to start, what to prioritise, and how to manage time across 4 papers.
  • Struggling to draft SLPs, Writ Petitions, and other Supreme Court documents never seen what a real draft looks like.
  • Reading the bare Acts and rules in but unable to connect Supreme Court procedure to how cases actually move.
  • Attempting leading cases without knowing how to prioritise or what the exam actually expects from each judgment.
  • Preparing alone with no mock tests, not knowing whether you are ready or what your weak areas are.
  • No guidance on what Supreme Court practice actually looks like even if you clear the exam, unclear on next steps.

After

  • A structured 3-month plan covering all 4 papers with recorded sessions, live classes, and scheduled mock tests mapped to the exam.
  • Practised drafting of SLPs, Writs, PILs, Review and Curative Petitions with expert feedback on every exercise, in exam conditions.
  • Deep understanding of Original, Appellate, and Special Jurisdiction and Orders in the Supreme Court Rules, 2013.
  • Cases taught with key holdings highlighted specifically for the AOR exam categorised by area of law for systematic revision.
  • Full-length mock tests evaluated by practising AORs, with individual feedback so you go into the exam knowing exactly where you stand.
  • Career guidance sessions by AORs on building Supreme Court practice from filing your first SLP to growing your practice over time.
FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Find clear answers to common questions about the course, learning format, and certification.

What is the eligibility to appear for the AOR Exam?

‍

‍

How is this different from self-studying with bare acts and case law?

‍

Is this course live or pre-recorded?

Both. The course is hybrid with recorded sessions and live weekend sessions. You also get recording access for 2 years to revisit any session.

How long is the course and what is the time commitment?

The course runs for 3 months. It follows a hybrid model with pre-recorded sessions. On average, expect 2–3 hours per week.
