Will the Number of Candidates Who Appeared in AIBE 20 be High?

As per the AIBE 20 eligibility criteria, BCI has allowed final-year law students to appear for the exam. Candidates who have not registered with a State Bar Council were also allowed to appear for AIBE 20. These relaxations are expected to significantly increase the number of candidates who appeared for AIBE 20 compared to last year.

How Many Candidates Appeared in AIBE 20?

Past trends suggest that a total of 2,29,843 candidates have appeared for the AIBE 19 exam. The high number of candidates appearing for AIBE is for the reason that it is the only exam through which law graduates can become advocates and practise law in India. The relaxed AIBE eligibility norms can also play a hand at increasing the number of candidates who will appear for AIBE 20.

Questions related to AIBE

On Question asked by student community

Have a question related to AIBE ?

No, a person cannot practice law in India without passing the All-India Bar Examination (AIBE). After completing an LLB degree from a recognized university, a law graduate must enroll with a State Bar Council and must clear the AIBE exam conducted by the Bar Council of India. Only after passing the exam, the advocate receives a Certificate of Practice , which allows him or her to practice law in any court in India.

So, without clearing AIBE, one cannot legally appear or argue in court.

Tip - Prepare well and be a successful lawyer.

Hello, Here is a clear and simple breakdown of who is eligible for the AIBE 20 (All India Bar Examination).

To be eligible for AIBE 20, you essentially need to have completed two main steps after your schooling:

  • You must have a 3-year LL.B degree or a 5-year integrated LL.B degree (like B.A. LL.B, B.Com LL.B, etc.). The most important part is that your degree must be from a college or university that is recognized by the Bar Council of India (BCI).
  • After you get your law degree, you cannot directly apply for the AIBE. You must first enroll as an Advocate with your respective State Bar Council. Once you enroll, you will get a unique enrollment number. This enrollment number is required to register for the AIBE 20 exam.

In short, the only people who can apply for AIBE 20 are those who have already graduated with a law degree and have also officially registered themselves as advocates with a State Bar Council.
