BCI allows Bare Acts with short notes and comments for AIBE (XVI) 2021

NEW DELHI: The Bar Council of India (BCI) has announced that candidates appearing in the All India Bar Examination (AIBE) XVI may use short notes and comments with Bare Acts during the examination on October 31, 2021.

It was during the previous session that the BCI had announced that AIBE will no longer be an open book examination and no handwritten or short notes will be allowed inside the examination hall.

As per the council, the decision to allow the use of short notes and comments has been taken in view of the difficulty faced by several candidates in procuring Bare Acts without short notes/comments from the market.

The official AIBE notification reads, “Having considered the difficulty faced by the candidates, the council has been resolved to relax the condition of using bare without short notes/comments during the examination and thus candidates are hereby allowed to use Bare Acts having short note/comments (not detailed comments) as are readily available in the market during the 16th All India Bar Examination scheduled to be held on October 31.”

AIBE XVI (16) 2021 will be an offline, pen and paper-based examination. The admit cards for appearing in the examination have been issued on October 11. The exam will be held in more than 50 cities across the country. The test paper will have 100 objective type questions to be asked from common law subjects of the LLB programme. Each question carries one mark, and there is no negative marking for incorrect answers.
