ICFAI University Sikkim Law Admissions 2026
Approved by BCI
The Bar Council of India has prescribed 19 subjects for AIBE 21. However, the weightage is not evenly distributed across the syllabus. Constitutional Law, IPC/Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), CPC, CrPC/Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), Evidence Act/Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA), Family Law, and Contract-related laws together contribute 62 out of 100 questions. These seven subjects account for nearly two-thirds of the AIBE 21 question paper.
Candidates should prioritise these seven subjects during AIBE XXI preparation, as they collectively account for 62% of the AIBE XXI question paper. A focused preparation strategy around these high-weightage areas can help maximise syllabus coverage, optimise study time and improve overall scoring potential in the AIBE 21 examination.

CrPC/Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) | 10 |

The remaining 12 subjects in the AIBE 21 syllabus contribute 38 questions out of 100. Although their individual weightage is lower than that of the major subjects, these topics collectively account for nearly two-fifths of the examination. Candidates preparing for AIBE 21 should therefore balance their preparation between the seven high-weightage subjects and these remaining AIBE 21 syllabus areas.
