An RTI query on AIBE 19 result statistics has revealed interesting facts. The number of candidates who failed in AIBE 19 has drastically decreased. The failure rate has come down to around 23% from around 50% a year earlier. The All India Bar Examination often sees the highest number of candidates among the exams conducted in the legal field. However, clearing the All India Bar Exam is not easy and many candidates often do not obtain the AIBE cut-off. In this article, let’s look at the failure rate in AIBE and see how many candidates fail to clear the bar exam.
AIBE is the gateway to becoming a practising lawyer in India, as successful candidates are awarded a Certificate of Practice to represent clients in court.
