The AIBE 19 result statistics are out. A response to an RTI query filed by Advocate Balachander Reddy has revealed some interesting numbers about the AIBE 19 result. The pass rate in AIBE 19 has improved significantly to around 77% from around 48% last year. There is not much gap in the pass percentage between candidates from the general/OBC category and candidates from SC/ST categories. There is only a gap of half a percentage point between the two. In this article, get the details about the AIBE 19 result data, including failure rate and pass percentage.
The All India Bar Examination is a mandatory exam to practise law in India. As a consequence, it often sees the highest number of candidates appearing for the exam as compared to other law exams. Candidates who clear AIBE 19 will be awarded the Certificate of Practice and will be able to represent clients in a court of law.
The table below provides a quick overview of all the numbers related to the AIBE 19 result.
Category | Registered | Appeared | Passed | Failed | Pass% | Fail% |
Overall | 236403 | 229843 | 177592 | 52251 | 77.27% | 22.73% |
General/OBC | 194868 | 189439 | 146542 | 42897 | 77.35% | 22.65% |
SC/ST | 41535 | 40404 | 31050 | 9354 | 76.84% | 23.16% |
The passing marks in AIBE 19 had reduced due to the revision of the AIBE answer key. 7 questions were withdrawn, which decreased the total marks in AIBE 19 to 93. Candidates from the general/OBC category need 45% marks to clear the AIBE cut-off, whereas candidates from the SC/ST category need 40%.
Category | Passing Marks | Pass % |
General/OBC | 42 out of 93 | 45% |

Given below is a detailed analysis of the AIBE 19 result data in comparison to last year.
AIBE 19 Attendance: The RTI data shows that around 2.36 lakh candidates had registered for AIBE 19. This number is significantly higher than in AIBE 18, where 1.48 lakh candidates had appeared for the exam. This increase is likely due to the revised AIBE elibiltiy criteria under which final year law students and candidates without an enrolment certificate are allowed to register for the bar exam.
