AIBE 22 Exam Registration 2026 LIVE: Form Opens Tomorrow, Fees, Documents & Direct Link @allindiabarexamination.com

Tomorrow brings good news for law graduates and final-year students across the country. The Bar Council of India (BCI) is opening registration for AIBE 22, 2026, on August 19, and eligible candidates can head straight to allindiabarexamination.com to fill their forms. This year comes with a notable change too — AIBE is being conducted twice, giving candidates more chances than usual to qualify and earn their Certificate of Practice (CoP), which is what allows a law graduate to actually practice in Indian courts.

If you've been waiting for this window to open, here's everything worth knowing before you sit down to register.

Key Dates You Shouldn't Miss

Notice the small gap between the application deadline and the fee payment deadline — candidates get an extra day to complete their fee payment even after the form submission window technically closes. Still, it's best not to rely on that buffer and to finish both steps together wherever possible.

Who Can Actually Apply?

AIBE eligibility is fairly inclusive, but it does come with a few specific conditions. You're eligible if you're:

• A final-year law student with no pending backlogs
• A graduate who's received their degree but hasn't enrolled yet, or has submitted enrolment certificates
• A law graduate who hasn't received their degree yet but is otherwise qualified

One change worth flagging this year — enrollment with your State Bar Council is no longer mandatory to apply. The BCI has removed that requirement, so even candidates without an Advocate ID can go ahead and register.

There's also no age limit for AIBE, and no cap on the number of attempts, so candidates get as many shots as they need to clear it.

How to Fill the AIBE 22 Application Form

Once registration opens tomorrow, here's the process to follow:

1. Visit allindiabarexamination.com.
2. Click on the online registration link on the homepage.
3. Enter your enrollment state, enrollment number, name, and mobile number.
4. Fill in your personal details.
5. Choose the language you'd prefer to appear for the exam in.
6. Check your email and phone for login credentials, then log back in.
7. Submit your application fee to complete the process.

What You'll Need to Pay

The fee structure varies by category, so it's worth checking exactly where you fall before you begin:

Payment can be made offline through an SBI challan, or online via HDFC using a debit card, credit card, or net banking — whichever is more convenient for you.

Documents to Keep Ready Before You Start

Having these scanned and on hand before registration opens will save you a lot of back-and-forth:

• Matriculation or equivalent certificate
• Intermediate/Diploma certificate
• LLB degree certificate (3-year or 5-year, as applicable)
• Passport-size photograph and scanned signature
• Advocate ID or enrollment certificate
• Category or disability proof, if applicable

Made a Mistake? Here's What You Can Fix

A correction window will open after registration closes, giving candidates a chance to fix errors. You'll be able to edit your registered email ID, mobile number, PwD category, caste category, and details related to your enrollment certificate or final-semester status. However, once the fee payment is done, certain fields — your name, enrollment number, date of birth, and test-centre preference — become locked and can't be changed. So it's worth triple-checking these specific details before you pay.

Is AIBE Actually Tough?

If you're wondering what you're signing up for, AIBE is generally considered medium to tough in difficulty. The good news is there's no negative marking, so guessing carries no real penalty. That said, expect questions that require genuine analysis rather than rote recall, and this year's paper includes updated criminal law provisions under BNS, BNSS, and BSA — so it's worth brushing up on these newer laws specifically rather than relying solely on older study material.
