The All India Bar Examination (AIBE) is a non-negotiable step for every law graduate aspiring to practice the noble profession of law in India. Conducted by the Bar Council of India (BCI), the AIBE serves as a crucial qualification test that assesses the fundamental legal knowledge and professional competency of a fresh law graduate before granting them the Certificate of Practice (CoP). The CoP is the legal license required to appear in courts, tribunals, and other administrative bodies. The 20th edition of this vital exam, AIBE XX (20) 2025, is now just around the corner, marking the culmination of months of preparation for thousands of aspirants nationwide.

​With the exam date confirmed for November 30, 2025, the BCI released the much-awaited AIBE 20 Admit Card on November 15, 2025. Aspirants are in the final lap of their preparation, and securing and verifying the admit card is paramount. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the key logistical details and essential exam day guidelines for the AIBE XX 2025.

​Admit Card Download and Verification

​The AIBE 20 admit card is the most crucial document for entry into the examination hall and must be downloaded from the official portal immediately. Candidates must not wait until the last minute to retrieve their hall ticket to avoid any technical glitches or last-minute confusion.

• ​Official Website Access: The only authorized platform for the AIBE 20 Admit Card download is the official website: allindiabarexamination.com. Candidates should strictly avoid third-party or unofficial links.
• ​Login Credentials: To download the admit card, candidates are required to log in using their Registration ID/User ID and Password/Date of Birth which were generated during the initial registration process.
• ​Verification of Details: Once downloaded, aspirants must thoroughly check all printed details, including their name, photograph, signature, date and time of the examination, and especially the assigned Exam Centre Name and Address. Any discrepancy must be reported immediately to the BCI helpdesk for correction.
• ​Mandatory Printout: A clear, printed copy of the AIBE 20 Admit Card is mandatory. A digital copy on a mobile phone will not be accepted for entry.

​AIBE XX (20) Exam Day Schedule and Format

​The examination is a single-session, pen-and-paper based test, requiring candidates to manage their time and resources judiciously. Understanding the logistical framework is key to a stress-free examination day.

• ​Exam Date and Time: The AIBE XX (20) 2025 is scheduled for Sunday, November 30, 2025. The examination will be held in a single shift from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM.
• ​Reporting Time: Candidates are advised to report to their assigned centre well in advance, preferably by 11:30 AM, to complete mandatory verification and seating formalities. Late entry after 1:15 PM will not be permitted.
• ​Exam Mode and Duration: The exam will be conducted in offline (pen-and-paper) mode, using an OMR sheet for marking answers. The total duration of the examination is 3 hours (180 minutes). Candidates eligible for extra time (e.g., PwD candidates) should check BCI guidelines for their specific duration.
• ​Question Paper Structure: The paper consists of 100 Multiple-Choice Questions (MCQs), with one mark awarded for each correct answer. Crucially, there is no negative marking, which is a significant advantage for test-takers.
• ​Allowed Items (Bare Acts): The AIBE is known for its open-book nature, but BCI has transitioned it to a semi-open-book format. Candidates are only permitted to carry Bare Acts without notes or comments into the examination hall. All other books, notes, and study material are strictly prohibited.

​Syllabus Focus for Final Review

​With only a few days remaining until the AIBE XX exam, a strategic revision is essential. Candidates should prioritise subjects with higher weightage, as prescribed by the BCI syllabus.

• ​High-Weightage Subjects (10 Marks Each): Constitutional Law, Criminal Procedure Code (Cr.P.C.) / Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), and Code of Civil Procedure (C.P.C.) are the bedrock of the syllabus. A combined 30% of the total questions come from these three areas. 
  • ​Constitutional Law
  • ​Cr. P. C. & BNSS
  • ​C. P. C.
• ​Moderate-Weightage Subjects (8 Marks Each): These subjects form the next important tier for review, demanding a solid conceptual understanding. 
  • ​Indian Penal Code (IPC) / Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS)
  • ​Evidence Act / Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA)
  • ​Family Law
  • ​Law of Contract, Specific Relief, Property Law, Negotiable Instruments Act
• ​Focus on New Codes: Aspirants must note the inclusion of the newly introduced Bharatiya criminal law codes—the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam—in the syllabus. Revision should ensure familiarity with the key changes and corresponding old sections.
• ​Qualifying Criteria: To clear the AIBE 20 and obtain the CoP, General/OBC candidates must score a minimum of 45% (45 marks), while SC/ST and PwD candidates need to score 40% (40 marks).

​Conclusion

​The AIBE XX (20) on November 30, 2025, is the final hurdle for law graduates to transition into professional advocacy. With the admit cards released on November 15, the countdown is officially on. Aspiring advocates must meticulously follow the BCI guidelines regarding the admit card, permissible materials (especially bare acts without notes), and reporting time. A targeted final revision focusing on high-scoring subjects and a calm, focused approach on exam day will pave the way for a successful qualification and the crucial Certificate of Practice.
