The Bar Council of India has released the AIBE 19 results on March 21. In AIBE 19, final-year law students without any backlogs were allowed to appear for the exam as per the revised AIBE eligibility criteria following a Supreme Court order passed in September 2024. Will obtaining AIBE 19 passing marks be enough for final-year law students to secure a Certificate of Practice (CoP)? Let’s find out in this article, what are the requirements and implications of the AIBE 19 exam results for final-year law students.
The required changes to the AIBE 20 application form are to be made before the deadline. The processes to correct the AIBE application form 2025 are given below.
BCI earlier released the AIBE 19 final answer key on March 6 in which 7 questions have been withdrawn and answers to three questions have been changed. The All India Bar Examination result will be prepared as per the final answer key.
The AIBE 19 passing marks for final year law students will be the same as every other candidate who attempted the exam. Given below are the approximate revised passing marks for the All India Bar Examination for various categories after 7 questions were withdrawn from the final answer key. The total marks in AIBE 19 is now 93 marks instead of 100 marks. Consequently, the AIBE cut-off has also gone down.

For final-year law students, merely obtaining the AIBE passing marks will not be enough to clear AIBE and obtain a Certificate of Practice. The Bar Council of India has notified that final-year law students must also clear their law degree to be eligible for COP. The AIBE exam result for final-year students is only provisional.
The BCI notification in this regard states that “the result of the All India Bar Examination will be subject to the candidate passing all the components required under the course of study of the University/College. This would be subject to the All India Bar Examination results being valid for a specified time.”
Once the AIBE results are declared and in case final year law students have secured the passing marks then their next area of focus should be on clearing the remaining law degree exams. Their success in the AIBE will be completely dependent on whether they also clear the final year examinations without any backlogs.
On Question asked by student community
Whether or not signing your full name instead of your signature on the AIBE 19 answer booklet's self-declaration form would result in disqualification is uncertain. It depends on the specific rules and regulations of the AIBE examination and how strictly they are enforced, you can also check the official website or contact the concerned authorities.
Hello,
If you forgot to mention the booklet code in your AIBE 2024 application, follow these steps:
Act promptly to avoid complications.
Hope it helps !
If you forgot to mention your booklet set code and other details on your AIBE 2024 exam OMR sheet while filling the rest of the information correctly, your exam may not be evaluated properly, and you could potentially face a delay in your results or even have your exam invalidated; however, there might still be a chance to rectify the situation.
Since AIBE exam is OMR based paper and is checked by using a specialized scanner called an "OMR scanner" which reads the darkened bubbles on the sheet, interpreting them as answers, and then comparing them to the answer key to generate a score - essentially, the machine "reads" the marks made on the paper to determine the correct answers, all through a process called Optical Mark Recognition (OMR). If it doesn't recognise your booklet code there are chances that it could not process your answer on code basis.
Reach out to the Bar Council of India (BCI) as soon as possible through their official website or helpline number. Explain the situation clearly, mentioning that you filled in all the details correctly except for the booklet set code and other missing information.
If possible, try to attach a scanned copy of your OMR sheet where you can highlight the correctly filled details and the missing booklet set code.
Hope it is helpful to you!!!
Hi Anirudh,
Using a whitener in the AIBE 19 exam (All India Bar Examination) is generally not allowed, as per the examination guidelines. However, if you used it in just one question and the rest of your answer sheet complies with the rules, the likelihood of outright rejection may be lower, but it ultimately depends on the discretion of the Bar Council of India (BCI).
Wait for Official Notification, Check your result once it is released, If the BCI invalidates your paper, they will usually notify you.
In some cases, minor infractions like using a whitener in a single question may not lead to disqualification, provided the rest of the answer sheet adheres to the rules. However, the final decision rests with the BCI.
Stay calm and wait for the official result or response from the authorities. Mistakes happen, and the best approach is to address them responsibly.
Best Wishes!
In the All India Bar Examination (AIBE), the use of correction tools such as whiteners is generally prohibited. This is because alterations on the answer sheet can interfere with the Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) scanning process, potentially leading to issues in accurately reading your responses.
While the use of a whitener on a single question may not automatically result in the rejection of your exam, it could raise concerns during the evaluation process. The impact largely depends on whether the correction affects the OMR system's ability to accurately read your answer sheet.
Recommendations:
Contact AIBE Authorities: It's advisable to reach out directly to the AIBE administration to inform them of the situation and seek guidance. They can provide specific information regarding any potential implications and advise on any necessary steps you should take.
Monitor Official Communications: Keep a close watch on official announcements or communications from AIBE regarding the evaluation process and any issues related to answer sheet discrepancies.
For future reference, it's best to avoid using correction tools during examinations to prevent any complications during the evaluation process.
