The AIBE 22 exam date is expected to be in December 2026. Earlier this year, the Bar Council of India officially informed the Supreme Court that the All India Bar Examination (AIBE) will be conducted twice a year. BCI has not yet announced the AIBE 22 exam schedule on its official website, allindiabarexamination.com. They will publish the exam notification, which will include the AIBE 22 exam date, application form, deadline and more details. The exam is conducted in offline, pen-and-paper mode across various test centres around the country. The decision to conduct AIBE twice a year will give law graduates more opportunities to qualify for the mandatory exam to practice law in India. Earlier, the AIBE 21 was conducted on June 7, 2026.
The tentative AIBE 22 exam schedule is detailed in the table below. The expected dates are assumed based on the previous year’s AIBE exam dates.
