NEW DELHI: Bar Council of India has conducted the AIBE XV (15) 2020 on January 24, 2021, for over 1.24 lakh law graduates who want to establish themselves as advocates. Now, the candidates will be expecting the AIBE XV (15) 2020 answer key to be released soon so that they quickly move a step forward in an already delayed process of getting Certificate of Practice. However, thanks to the unofficial AIBE answer keys available over the internet, one may calculate the AIBE marks and get to know whether he/she qualifies the exam or not.
It may be noted here that there will not be any merit list in AIBE. It is just a qualifying exam for the purpose of awarding the Certificate of Practice (CoP). The CoP is a mandatory document required for practising law in any court of law in India.
To qualify the exam, candidates will have to score equal to, or more than the qualifying marks/cut off marks notified by the council. Thus, by setting the minimum cut off marks of AIBE, BCI attempts to gauge the ability of law graduates to work as legal professionals. The AIBE qualifying marks vary from category to category and are given below.
Category | Minimum qualifying percentage | Qualifying marks |
General | 40% | 40 |
OBC | 40% | 40 |
SC | 35% | 35 |
ST | 35% | 35 |
Considering that the BCI plans to conduct the next session of AIBE on March 21, 2021, it is expected that the result of AIBE XV (15) 2020 will be released very soon. The result of AIBE XV will mention the marks obtained by the candidate along with qualification status. AIBE qualified candidates will be issued the Certificate of Practice (CoP) within a few weeks of the result declaration. One may expect to receive the CoP by post.
The council had on December 26, 2021, announced that from the next session of the bar council exam, AIBE XVI (16) 2021, it seeks to give relaxation in fee and passing marks for such candidates who are having disability declared by the appropriate authority as relaxed in the case of SC/ST category. The fee for such candidates having a disability is Rs 2500 and cut off passing is 5% less than the general category candidates.
