The Bar Council of India closed the AIBE 19 OMR sheet rechecking window on April 10, 2025. Candidates who applied for rechecking their AIBE 19 result will be informed on their registered email about changes in their results. As a next step, the Bar Council of India will issue the Certificate of Practice of the AIBE COP to successful candidates. But when? The AIBE COP is a mandatory document needed to practise law in India. In this article, let’s look at the tentative date on which the BCI will issue the AIBE COP.
The Bar Council of India had declared the AIBE 19 result on March 21, 2025. It had conducted the All India Bar Examination on December 22, 2024 in offline mode.
Candidates must fulfil the following conditions to be eligible to obtain AIBE Certificate of Practice
Candidates must have a score above the AIBE 19 cut-off. The passing marks in AIBE 19 was 42 out of 100 for general/OBC category, and 37 out of 100 for SC/ST category after the AIBE 19 final answer key was revised.
Candidates must have enrolled in a State Bar Council and obtained an Enrolment Certificate which needs to be submitted to the BCI.
In the case of final-year law students, they must clear their final year law exams without any backlogs along with clearing the AIBE and enrolling with a State Bar Council.
The Bar Council of India dispatches a physical copy of the AIBE COP to the respective State Bar Councils in which the candidates have enrolled. The candidates then have to collect the Certificate of Practice in person from the State Bar Council. Past Trends show that the AIBE COP is released around 6 months after the AIBE exam result is declared. The ABIE COP release date for earlier sessions is given in the table below.
Session | Exam Date | Result Date | COP Release Date | Approximate Time Gap Between Result and COP |
AIBE 18 | December 10, 2023 | March 26, 2024 | October 10, 2024 | 6 months 14 days |
AIBE 17 | February 5, 2023 | May 30, 2023 | December 7, 2023 | 6 months 7 days |
The Bar Council of India will tentatively issue the AIBE 19 COP in the first or second week of October 2025. Before despatching the COP to the state bar councils, BCI will issue an online COP download link for candidates to verify and correct any discrepancies in the COP. It must be noted that the online COP does not have any validity and is only for reference purposes. The final COP is dispatched after the discrepancies have been resolved.
Session | Exam Date | Result Date | COP Release Date (tentative) | Time Gap between result and COP |
AIBE 19 | December 22, 2024 | March 21, 2025 | First or second week of October 2025 | Approximate 6 months |
The online COP issued by BCI does not have any validity. It is only issued so that candidates can inform the authorities and get any discrepancies in their details, such as name, parent's name, and other personal details, corrected. The online COP is only for viewing purposes. Once the details are corrected in the online COP, the physical COP, which is the original Certificate of Practice, will be dispatched to the respective state bar council.
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!!!
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.

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!
