AIBE XVII (17) 2023: BCI allows candidates to use Bare Acts without notes; Know rules here

NEW DELHI: The Bar Council of India (BCI) will allow candidates appearing in the All India Bar Examination (AIBE XVII) to use Bare Acts without notes.

“Bare Acts without notes are allowed .In case of unavailability of Bare Acts without notes, Bare Acts with least short notes will be allowed subject to discretion of the Examiner/Invigilator,” the BCI official website read. Bare Acts are the exact text of a particular enactment by legislature, without interpretation.

In 2021, the BCI announced that the exam will not be an open book exam from the AIBE 16 exam. However, later that year the council took a decision to allow the use of short notes and comments in view of the difficulty faced by candidates in procuring Bare Acts without short comments from the market.
