Relief for New Lawyers as Bar Council Extends Deadline for AIBE by One Year
The Bar Council of India (BCI) has extended the time limit for newly enrolled lawyers to clear the All India Bar Examination (AIBE) from two years to three. If they fail to pass AIBE within three years, they will be barred from practising law and their name will be removed from the list of lawyers. The relaxation of 1 year will be applicable to lawyers nominated from 2022. Radheshyam Gupta, president of the MP State Bar Council, and RL Saini, vice president, stated that the State Bar Council urged the Bar Council of India to extend the period for newly nominated lawyers to pass the AIBE from two years to three years.

The AIBE 2025 cutoff, or qualifying percentile, is 45% (typically 42 marks out of 100) for General and OBC candidates, and 40% (typically 37 marks out of 100) for SC, ST, and PwD candidates.
The Bar Council of India discussed the matter and decided to extend the provisional nomination period for new lawyers from 2 years to 3 years. This one-year extension will apply to lawyers provisionally nominated from 2022. The Bar Council of India has extended the period for passing the AIBE exam to 3 years and stated that lawyers who fail to pass within this period will be ineligible to practice law and will have their names removed as members of the Bar Council. They further stated that State Bar Councils should cancel the membership of lawyers nominated before 2022 who have not yet passed the AIBE.
What happens if AIBE is not cleared in 3 years?
If the All India Bar Examination (AIBE) is not cleared within three years of provisional enrollment with a State Bar Council, the following consequences apply, based on the BCI rules and the recent one-year extension of the deadline.
Inability to Practice Law: You will be barred from practising law in India until you pass the AIBE and obtain the Certificate of Practice (COP) from the Bar Council of India (BCI). The provisional enrollment becomes invalid for practising law, meaning you cannot represent clients in courts, file vakalatnamas, or issue legal opinions.

This process could involve paying registration fees again and completing enrollment formalities again.
No Limit on Attempts: There is no restriction on the number of times you can attempt the AIBE. You can continue to take the exam until you pass, even after three years, but you cannot practice law until you clear it.
Career Implications: Without a COP, you cannot legally practice as an advocate, which may limit career opportunities in litigation or roles requiring active legal practice. However, you can still work in non-practice legal roles or assist senior advocates without directly practising law.
