Detailed Syllabus of Six Key Subjects for AIBE XX (20) 2025

Constitutional Law (10 marks)

Constitutional Law is a vital part of the AIBE syllabus with 10 questions. It covers the history and core features of the Indian Constitution. Students must understand the distribution of powers between the Union and the States, including legislative and executive functions. Fundamental Rights and DPSP are key topics. The roles of the President, Parliament, and State Legislatures are also included.

The judiciary’s structure, covering the Supreme Court and High Courts, is important. Candidates must learn about emergency provisions and the process of amending the Constitution. Familiarity with judicial review and landmark cases helps understand constitutional limits and powers.

Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) & Bhartiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (10 marks)

This section has 10 questions. The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) is the new name for the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC). Effective from July 1, 2024, BNSS now governs criminal procedure in India. While BNSS replaces CrPC, students should prepare for both in the AIBE 2025 examination.

The exam covers court hierarchy, police powers, trial stages, arrests, bail, remand, and appeals. BNSS brings important updates to protect citizens’ rights, but knowledge of the CrPC is equally important for the exam. Candidates must be familiar with the rights of accused persons and victims, police duties, and the roles of special courts.

Code of Civil Procedure (CPC) (10 marks)

CPC covers civil litigation steps, carrying 10 questions. It begins with filing suits and statements while detailing jurisdiction rules to identify the correct court. Students learn important safeguards like res judicata (final judgment) and res subjudice (pending cases).

Interim reliefs such as stays and injunctions protect parties during trial. Key topics include framing issues, witness examination, and passing orders and decrees. Appeals, revisions, and High Court rules are also included, shaping the framework of civil dispute resolution.

Indian Penal Code (IPC) & Bhartiya Nyay Sanhita (8 marks)

This section has 8 questions. The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023, is the new law replacing the Indian Penal Code (IPC), 1860, as of July 1, 2024. Students must prepare for both in AIBE 2025, as both are relevant for the exam. The syllabus defines offences, punishments, exceptions, and types of crimes. Students should focus on crimes against the person, property, and public order. Major crimes like murder, theft, and robbery are must-know topics.

Bhartiya Nyay Sanhita introduces modern updates that are aligned with IPC principles. Knowing crime elements and punishments gives students practical insight into criminal liability and enforcement.

Evidence Act & Bhartiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (8 marks)

This subject deals with rules on admissible evidence and carries 8 questions. Bhartiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (BSA) has replaced the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, effective from July 1, 2024. From an exam point of view, candidates must study both subjects as questions from both will be asked.

Key areas include admissibility, relevancy of evidence, and different types of evidence, including oral, documentary, and electronic evidence. Essential topics also include admissions, confessions, estoppel principles, and burden of proof.

The Bhartiya Sakshya Adhiniyam also introduces scientific and digital proof rules. These rules are critical for proving facts in court. Understanding proper evidence handling and principles of proof in civil and criminal cases is essential for clearing this part of the exam.

Alternative Dispute Redressal including Arbitration Act (4 Marks)

ADR covers out-of-court dispute resolution methods and accounts for 4 questions. It covers negotiation, mediation, conciliation, and arbitration, explaining how disputes can be settled without litigation. The Arbitration and Conciliation Act governs arbitration agreements, arbitrator roles, proceedings, and award enforcement.

Understanding challenges to awards and the roles of mediation and conciliation councils is vital. ADR reduces court caseloads and speeds up justice, making these methods essential tools for resolving commercial and civil disputes efficiently.
