Why clearing AIBE matters
Candidates who clear AIBE 21 will be issued the Certificate of Practice (CoP) by the BCI. This certificate is mandatory — under BCI rules, no advocate can practice law in any Indian court without holding a valid CoP, making this exam a critical final step for law graduates entering the profession.
A bigger change starting this year
In a significant shift, the BCI has confirmed that AIBE will now be conducted twice a year instead of once, giving candidates who don't clear this attempt a quicker opportunity to reappear.
| Particulars | Expected Timeline |
|---|---|
| AIBE 22 Notification Release | August–September 2026 |
| AIBE 22 Registration Starts | September 2026 |
| AIBE 22 Admit Card Release | November 2026 |
| AIBE 22 Exam | December 2026 |
There is no cap on the number of attempts a candidate can take, and no age restrictions apply either.
What to do while you wait
With the final answer key release imminent, candidates are advised to keep their provisional answer key responses handy for comparison, regularly check the official website for updates, and avoid relying on any unofficial sources or third-party links for either the answer key or result.
