Several Hindi-medium candidates found BNSS terminology more difficult compared to English medium candidates.

Questions mainly came from:

• Hindu Marriage Act

• Hindu Succession Act

• Muslim Personal Law

• Guardianship

Most candidates reported this as a scoring section.

7 subjects dominated nearly 62% of the AIBE 2026 paper: Constitutional Law, CPC, BNSS/CrPC, BNS, Evidence Law, Family Law, and Contract-related laws.

The expected AIBE 2026 qualifying score remains close to previous years despite the moderate-to-difficult paper.

Candidates generally found the AIBE 21 examination 2026 slightly tougher compared to the AIBE 20 exam.

Most candidates who gave the AIBE 21 examination 2026 felt:

• 15% Easy

• 45% Moderate

• 40% Moderate-Difficult

Main Topics:

• Res Judicata

• Jurisdiction

• Execution

• Rejection of Plaint

Difficulty: Moderate

BNSS questions involved procedural concepts, bail provisions, cognisance, summons, warrants, and trial procedures, making them time-consuming.

 While the official AIBE 21 answer key is still awaited, candidates can make a rough estimate of their score based on questions they are confident about. Remember, one mark per correct answer; no deductions for wrong answers. Any score above 45 puts General and OBC candidates safely in the qualifying zone.

Candidates reported that questions from the Advocates Act and Bar Council of India Rules were fewer and easier than anticipated. These questions typically test professional ethics and conduct rules, straightforward for anyone who revised Chapter II and III of the BCI Rules before the exam.

The AIBE 21 provisional answer key will be released anytime soon. The AIBE 21 Objection window will be open for approximately five days. Next, the AIBE 21 Final answer key will be published in late June or early July. Result declaration follows within two to three weeks of the final answer key.

Candidate reactions suggest AIBE 21 was marginally more difficult than AIBE XX, primarily due to the increased emphasis on BNS, BNSS, and BSA provisions. However, the absence of negative marking means the effective qualifying threshold remains achievable for well-prepared candidates across all categories.

Candidates report that Family Law carried its expected weightage in AIBE 21. Questions from the Hindu Marriage Act, Hindu Succession Act, and Muslim Personal Law appeared in the paper. These are typically straightforward if candidates referenced the correct bare act sections during the exam.

Candidates are advised to cross-check answers from high-weightage subjects first — Constitutional Law, BNS, BNSS, BSA, CPC, and Evidence Act together account for nearly 40 to 45 questions. Errors or ambiguities in these subjects will have the highest impact on your final score.

With 100 questions and no negative marking, General and OBC candidates need to answer at least 45 correctly. SC and ST candidates need 40. If you attempted all 100 questions today, your chances of qualifying are strong, even guessed answers carry a positive probability with four options per question and no negative marking.

The AIBE 20 exam was conducted on November 3, 2026. The AIBE provisional answer key was released within three days, i.e. December 3, 2026.

If an objection is upheld, all candidates who chose either of the valid options are awarded the mark. This has happened in previous AIBE editions and may apply to a few questions this year as well.

Multiple candidates reported confusion between provisions of the old IPC and the new BNS in today's paper. Since both frameworks are currently in force for different timelines, questions testing knowledge of transitional provisions and corresponding section numbers are the most likely candidates for objections.
