AIBE 2026 FAQs

Q1. Will AIBE be held twice in 2026?

The All India Bar Examination is now conducted twice a year. Following AIBE 21 (held on June 7, 2026), BCI is expected to conduct the next edition, AIBE 22, later in 2026. Candidates should watch the official website, allindiabarexamination.com, for the AIBE 22 notification and exam date.

Q2. Can a lawyer practice without AIBE?

No. Clearing the AIBE and obtaining the Certificate of Practice (CoP) is mandatory for law graduates who wish to practise as advocates in Indian courts. While a candidate can provisionally enrol with a State Bar Council after completing their LLB, they must clear the AIBE within the prescribed period to continue practising law; without a valid CoP, they cannot appear or plead before courts as an advocate.

Q3. How many attempts are allowed for AIBE?

The Bar Council of India has not fixed any limit on the number of attempts for the AIBE, nor is there an upper age limit. Candidates who fail to clear the qualifying marks in one session can reappear in subsequent AIBE sessions until they pass. One aspect to remember is that provisional license to practice is usually issued for 2 years, within which AIBE has to be cleared to continue practicing.

Q4. What is the pass mark for AIBE exam 2026?

The AIBE 2026 pass mark is category-based: candidates from the General and OBC categories need to score a minimum of 45%, while candidates from the SC, ST, and PwD categories need to score a minimum of 40% to qualify. There is no negative marking, and each correct answer carries one mark.
