SC, ST and PwBD candidates	₹2,500

Bank or payment-gateway charges may be extra. The final amount shown on the official registration portal should be checked before payment. Candidates should download the payment receipt and keep the transaction reference number safely.

The fee is generally non-refundable after successful payment, except where the official AIBE instructions specifically provide otherwise. Do not make a second payment until the status of an earlier transaction has been checked in the applicant login.

AIBE 22 Eligibility 2026

AIBE eligibility depends on the candidate’s law qualification, the recognition of the institution and the enrolment/undertaking conditions applicable to the candidate’s category.

Candidates should generally hold one of the following:

• A three-year LL.B. degree from a Bar Council of India-recognised or approved institution; or

• A five-year integrated LL.B. degree from a Bar Council of India-recognised or approved institution.

The BCI’s current eligibility notification also permits certain categories of candidates to register, subject to submission of the required undertaking and supporting documents:

1. Final-year or final-semester students of a three-year or five-year LL.B. course who have no backlogs in previous semesters and are studying at a BCI-recognised or approved institution.

2. Law graduates who have completed the LL.B. course but have not yet received the degree certificate.

3. Law graduates who have obtained the degree but have not enrolled with a State Bar Council.

4. Candidates who had enrolled with a State Bar Council but surrendered their enrolment certificate, subject to the BCI’s stated conditions.

Candidates from universities or colleges that are not recognised or approved by the Bar Council of India are not eligible. The responsibility for checking recognition rests with the candidate.

Candidates who are applying under a final-year, pending-degree or non-enrolment category may need to upload semester marksheets, an undertaking or other documents specified by the AIBE portal. Applicants should not submit a false enrolment or academic-status claim.

Is There an Age Limit for AIBE 22?

The AIBE does not prescribe a conventional upper-age limit in the manner of a government recruitment examination. Candidates must, however, satisfy the applicable law-degree, recognition, enrolment or undertaking requirements. A candidate’s age does not replace the requirement of holding or pursuing an eligible BCI-recognised law qualification.

AIBE 22 Exam Pattern 2026

The AIBE is an offline, objective-type, open-book certification examination. The standard paper contains 100 multiple-choice questions, with each question carrying one mark. The examination duration is three and a half hours.

Particular	Details
Question type	Multiple-choice questions

Exam duration	3 hours 30 minutes
Exam mode	Offline pen-and-paper examination

The final instructions printed on the admit card and in the question booklet will determine which books or bare acts may be carried into the examination hall. Candidates should not assume that every guidebook, handwritten note or electronic device is permitted.

AIBE 22 Qualifying Marks

The qualifying standard is prescribed by the Bar Council of India and may distinguish between general/OBC candidates and SC/ST/PwBD candidates. Previous official AIBE materials have used a higher qualifying threshold for General/OBC candidates and a reduced threshold for SC/ST/PwBD candidates.

Candidates should rely on the AIBE XXII notification or official result notice for the final qualifying marks. A qualifying mark is not the same as a recruitment cut-off: AIBE is a certification examination, not a vacancy-based selection test.

AIBE 22 Admit Card 2026

The AIBE XXII admit card is scheduled to become available on 14 November 2026. Candidates should download it from the official AIBE portal using their registration credentials.

The admit card is expected to mention the examination city, centre address, reporting time, candidate photograph, roll number and instructions. Candidates should carry the printed admit card and an original valid photo identity document.

Because AIBE is an open-book examination, candidates should read the admit-card instructions carefully about permitted books, bare acts, notes, markings, electronic devices, bags and stationery. Mobile phones, smartwatches and other electronic devices are normally prohibited in examination halls unless the official instructions state otherwise.

AIBE 22 Exam-Day Instructions

Candidates should:

• Reach the centre before the reporting time printed on the admit card.

• Carry the admit card and original photo identity proof.

• Bring only permitted bare acts or books in accordance with the latest instructions.

• Avoid mobile phones, smartwatches, calculators and unauthorised notes.

• Check the question booklet and answer-sheet details before beginning.

• Mark answers carefully on the OMR sheet.

• Follow invigilator instructions for attendance, signatures and biometric verification if applicable.

Open-book does not mean that electronic reference material or unlimited handwritten notes are permitted. The question booklet and admit-card rules should be followed exactly.

AIBE 22 Result 2027

The official AIBE XXII schedule gives 7 to 10 January 2027 as the tentative result-declaration window. The result will be published through the official AIBE website after evaluation and any applicable result-processing procedure.

Candidates should download the result or score information and follow the BCI instructions for the Certificate of Practice. Passing AIBE alone should not be treated as a job appointment; it is connected with eligibility to practise law under the applicable Bar Council rules.

AIBE 22 Certificate of Practice

The Bar Council of India describes AIBE as a certification examination for law graduates who intend to practise as advocates. Candidates who qualify are awarded a Certificate of Practice, subject to fulfilment of the relevant enrolment and professional requirements.

The examination is not a government job recruitment test and does not provide a vacancy, salary or appointment. It is a professional certification step for the legal profession.
