Eligibility and Examination Details

To be eligible for the AIBE 22, candidates must have successfully completed a three-year or five-year LLB programme from a university or college recognised by the Bar Council of India. The examination is open to both law graduates and students currently in their final year of study, provided they do not have any outstanding backlogs.

According to the official guidelines, candidates may apply for the examination regardless of whether they currently hold a degree or an enrolment certificate. This inclusive approach is designed to streamline the certification process for those entering the legal profession. Following the conclusion of the registration period, the Bar Council of India has scheduled the AIBE 22 examination to be conducted on November 29, 2026.

Candidates must ensure all necessary documentation is prepared before initiating the online registration process. The application requires careful attention to detail to avoid discrepancies that could impact eligibility. Once the registration window closes on October 27, no further applications will be accepted for this cycle.

Applicants should monitor the official website regularly for any further updates regarding the examination schedule or admit card releases. By adhering to the stipulated deadlines for both form submission and fee payment, candidates can ensure their participation in the November 29 assessment.
