Are Bare Acts allowed in AIBE 20?

The Bar Council of India has clarified that only Bare Acts in their original form are permitted during the AIBE exam. At the examination centre, invigilators thoroughly check all Bare Acts before allowing entry. They specifically look for any signs of handwritten notes, explanatory comments, or loose papers. If a Bare Act contains any additional material, it is considered non-compliant. In such cases, candidates can be denied entry into the exam hall, as the rules strictly permit only clean, original Bare Acts without modifications.
