AIBE XXI 2026 – What Qualified Candidates Should Know

Candidates who have successfully secured the minimum passing marks (45% for Gen/OBC and 40% for SC/ST) are now officially qualified to practice law in any court across India. The Bar Council of India does not issue traditional marksheets showing exact scores; the result is strictly published as "PASS" or "FAIL" to emphasize its nature as a qualifying examination rather than a competitive ranking test.

The ultimate objective of clearing the AIBE is to obtain the Certificate of Practice (COP). While candidates currently hold a provisional enrollment with their respective State Bar Council, this provisional status is only valid for two years from graduation. Upon clearing AIBE XXI, the BCI will dispatch the physical COPs to the respective State Bar Councils. Candidates must actively contact their State Bar Council to collect their COP, or download a digital copy via the AIBESCOPE mobile application if made available by BCI.

If a candidate's result is showing "Withheld," it typically indicates a discrepancy in uploaded documents (such as missing enrollment certificates). Such candidates must immediately upload the corrected documents on the portal as per BCI’s extended window to get their results processed.
