AIBE 21: These 7 Subjects Contribute 62% of the Exam
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.
