The final phase of the journey towards obtaining the Certificate of Practice (CoP) for law graduates is officially underway. The Bar Council of India (BCI) has concluded all administrative formalities for the All India Bar Examination (AIBE) XX (20) 2025. The critical last date for corrections in the application form closed on November 1, 2025, meaning all registered candidacies are now final. The primary focus for aspirants has now shifted entirely to the upcoming examination, scheduled for November 30, 2025.

​The most immediate and critical event is the release of the Admit Card, which is slated for tomorrow, November 15, 2025. This is the mandatory entry ticket for the exam and contains crucial details about the test centre and reporting instructions. Since AIBE is a certification-based examination that every law graduate must pass to continue practicing law in India, every registered candidate must treat the next two weeks with utmost seriousness and strategic focus.

​Admit Card Release: Steps to Download on November 15

​The AIBE XX (20) Admit Card will be released online on the official website. The BCI will not dispatch hard copies via post, making it the candidate's responsibility to download and print the hall ticket immediately upon release.

• ​Official Download Portal:
  • ​Candidates must visit the official AIBE website: allindiabarexamination.com.
  • ​The direct link for the Admit Card download will become active on November 15, 2025.
• ​Login Credentials Required:
  • ​To access the hall ticket, candidates must use their registered Login ID (Mobile Number/Email ID) and the Password created during the application process.
• ​Verification and Printout:
  • ​Immediately after downloading, candidates must verify all details: Name, Photograph, Roll Number, Exam Date (November 30, 2025), and the Allotted Test Centre Address.
  • ​Take a clear printout of the Admit Card. Candidates must carry the AIBE Admit Card along with a Valid Photo ID Proof (Aadhaar, Voter ID, Passport, or Advocate Enrollment ID) to the exam hall.

​AIBE XX (20) Exam Pattern and Syllabus: What to Focus On

​The AIBE XX (20) exam follows a fixed, objective pattern that tests fundamental legal knowledge across 19 subjects. The total duration is 3 hours 30 minutes, and the paper consists of 100 Multiple-Choice Questions (MCQs), with no negative marking.

• ​New Legislation Impact: 
  • ​A significant change for AIBE XX (20) involves the inclusion of the newly enacted criminal laws: the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA), replacing the IPC, CrPC, and Evidence Act, respectively. Aspirants should focus on the key changes introduced by these new acts.
• ​High-Weightage Subjects (10 Marks Each):
  • ​Constitutional Law: Preamble, Fundamental Rights, Writs, Judiciary.
  • ​Criminal Procedure Code (Cr.P.C) / BNSS: Arrest, Bail, Trial Procedures.
  • ​Code of Civil Procedure (CPC): Jurisdiction, Res Judicata, Pleadings.
• ​Other Core Subjects: 
  • ​Indian Penal Code (IPC) / BNS (8 Marks), Evidence Act / BSA (8 Marks), and Family Law (8 Marks).
• ​Pass Criteria: 
  • ​The minimum passing percentage is fixed at 45% for General/OBC Candidates and 40% for SC/ST and Disabled Candidates. Candidates need to secure at least 45 marks (for General) out of 100 to qualify.

​Final Week Strategy: The Bare Act Advantage

​AIBE is no longer an open-book exam, but it remains a test where limited study material is permitted. The final two weeks should be dedicated to practice and familiarizing oneself with the allowed resources.

• ​Allowed Materials (Bare Acts Only):
  • ​Candidates are strictly allowed to carry only Bare Acts without notes or comments inside the examination centre. This means the focus should be on learning to quickly locate relevant sections within the Acts.
• ​Practice with Limited Resources:
  • ​Spend time practicing MCQs while simulating the exam condition of relying only on the Bare Acts. This builds the critical skill of quickly navigating the index and sections.
• ​Focus on Key Sections and Headings:
  • ​Since time is limited, prioritize memorizing the titles/headings of major sections and the overall structure of high-weightage Bare Acts (CPC, CrPC, Constitutional Law) to maximize search efficiency during the exam.

​Conclusion

​With the AIBE XX (20) Admit Card releasing tomorrow, November 15, and the exam set for November 30, law professionals must finalize their strategies. Success in this mandatory examination requires a focused, final two-week effort directed at mastering the structure of the 19 core law subjects and, most importantly, learning to effectively utilize the permitted Bare Acts. The next step is clear: download the Admit Card, verify your details, and commence intensive, practice-based revision to secure your Certificate of Practice.
