About AIBE
Bar Council of India conducts AIBE every year. It is a standard examination to check the advocate’s capability to practice the profession of law in India. LLB graduates are thus eligible to appear in AIBE which sets the minimum benchmark for admission to the practice of law.
The exam focuses on testing the analytical abilities and understanding basic knowledge of the law of LLB graduates. This year, the AIBE exam format has been changed from an open book examination to a closed book examination. Candidates who pass the examination will be awarded a “Certificate of Practice” by the Bar Council of India.
