​ Exam Structure and Final Preparation Strategy

​With less than two weeks remaining until the examination on November 30, 2025, aspiring advocates must transition their focus entirely to revision and strategy. The AIBE 20 examination is an offline, objective-type test designed to assess fundamental legal knowledge and analytical skills.

• ​Exam Pattern Snapshot: 
  • ​Mode: Offline (Pen and Paper-Based Test).
  • ​Duration: 3 hours (1:00 PM to 4:00 PM).
  • ​Questions: 100 Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs).
  • ​Total Marks: 100 (1 mark for each correct answer).
  • ​Negative Marking: There is No Negative Marking, encouraging candidates to attempt all questions.
• ​Syllabus Coverage: The AIBE 20 syllabus covers 19 core subjects from the LLB curriculum, ranging from Constitutional Law and IPC to Family Law and Public Interest Litigation.
• ​Focus on Updated Codes: Given the recent legislative changes, candidates must pay close attention to the inclusion of the newly introduced Bharatiya criminal law codes (like the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, etc.) in the syllabus, ensuring they are assessed on India's updated statutory framework.
• ​Passing Criteria (Qualifying Marks): The examination requires candidates to meet the minimum qualifying percentage to be awarded the Certificate of Practice (CoP). The BCI has reconfirmed the passing criteria: 
  • ​General/OBC Candidates: 45% (45 marks out of 100).
  • ​SC/ST and Disabled Candidates:40% (40 marks out of 100).

​ The Significance of AIBE: Certificate of Practice (CoP)

​The All India Bar Examination is not merely an academic exercise; it is a mandatory professional certification test without which a law graduate cannot legally practise as an advocate in any court in India. This examination is the gateway to professional life in the legal field.

• ​Mandatory Certification: The AIBE is a post-enrolment examination. A law graduate is initially provisionally enrolled with the State Bar Council and must clear the AIBE within a specified period (typically two years) to continue their practice.
• ​Certificate of Practice (CoP): Only upon successfully clearing the AIBE 20 will the candidate be awarded the Certificate of Practice (CoP) by the Bar Council of India. The CoP grants the holder the official professional authority and license to appear before judicial forums, tribunals, and administrative bodies across the country.
• ​Upholding Legal Standards: The AIBE's primary purpose is to ensure that every practising advocate possesses a minimum benchmark level of knowledge in essential legal subjects, thereby upholding the professional conduct and etiquette standards set by the BCI.
• ​Implications of Non-Qualification: Failure to clear the AIBE within the stipulated time results in the suspension of the advocate's provisional enrollment, meaning they cannot practice law until they pass the examination in a subsequent attempt.

​Conclusion

​The release of the AIBE 20 admit card on November 15, 2025, sets the stage for the final, decisive test on November 30, 2025. This final stretch demands intense, focused revision, particularly on the updated legal codes and core subjects. For thousands of aspiring advocates, successfully downloading and securing the admit card is the last procedural step before they sit for the examination that will ultimately determine their entry into the legal profession and the award of the mandatory Certificate of Practice (CoP).
