π Year-over-Year Trend
AIBE registration windows typically stay open for over two months, and this cycle follows the same pattern from August 19 to October 27, 2026. Since AIBE is a qualifying exam and not vacancy-based, the real focus should be on clearing the 45%/40% qualifying marks rather than beating other candidates.
β More Information You Need
Q: I’m a final-year student with no bar enrolment yet β how do I get the ‘State Bar Council enrolment number’ the form asks for in Step 3?
You must first enrol with your respective State Bar Council (a separate process with its own fee and documents, done before or alongside AIBE registration) to get an enrolment number. If enrolment is pending, most State Bar Councils allow provisional enrolment specifically for AIBE purposes β check with your State Bar Council office directly since this is a state-level process, not handled by BCI centrally.
Q: Two different websites are listed (allindiabarexamination.com and aibe.digivarsity.online) β which one do I actually register on?
Register on allindiabarexamination.com β this is BCI’s official AIBE portal. If aibe.digivarsity.online is a third-party or redirect link, do not enter payment details there; verify the URL bar carefully before submitting fees, as fake portals mimicking exam sites are common.
Q: What happens after I pass β do I get a job, or do I need to do something else to actually practice as a lawyer?
Passing AIBE only gets you a Certificate of Practice (CoP) from BCI, which is legally required to practice in Indian courts. It is not a job offer β after receiving the CoP, you independently seek work as a practicing advocate, join a law firm, or work under a senior advocate. There is no salary, posting, or placement attached to this exam.
Apply through the official portal for AIBE 22 Registration 2026 before the last date.
