According to BCI rules, at least 20 weeks of internship is required for 5 year law courses. Is this mandatory in order to get a degree or is this for those people who want to take the AIBE?

Kindly clarify.
Mandatory for degree, otherwise the degree may be cancelled. However, in practice, you'd hardly find any action being taken to cancel such degrees.
No. Graduated in 2015 with zero internships. Have been practicing for almost a decade. No such questions asked !
Same. Graduated 2015. No internship. Never had any problems. Been jumping law firms for a long time, most don't even bother where you interned, they're more interested in last work experience. And if fresher, your grades and interview.
If that was actually implemented, 70% of law students wouldn't see their day as enrolled advocates due to fake certificates or no internships at all
Don't most law students intern in every semester break? Or am I missing something here.
The ones who want jobs, certainly do. The others, not so sure. Especially people doing random shit like UPSC prep
I've held a post in a tier 1 law firm, and now practice in the apex court. Yet, never had to show any internship, nor was asked about one. It all depends on your interview. Anyways doesn't hurt to have a few internships in your CV related to your work profile.
Not compulsory. Majority of tier 2 & 3 never even seen court untill after they enroll.
