What is AIBE?
All India Bar Examination
The All India Bar Examination is conducted by the Bar Council of India and is the qualifying test a law graduate must clear to obtain the Certificate of Practice — the licence to appear in Indian courts. Open-book, 100 questions, 3.5 hours, 23-subject BCI syllabus. Passing threshold: 45% (General/OBC), 40% (SC/ST). It is not a memory test — it is a locating-under-time-pressure test.
Eligibility
- LL.B. from a Bar Council of India-approved institution
- Enrolment with a State Bar Council prior to appearing
- No age limit; no restriction on number of attempts
Exam pattern
| Section | Questions | Marks | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 23 subjects — full BCI syllabus | 100 | 100 | 100% |
Open-book · 3h 30min · No negative marking · Available in English + 10 regional languages. 23 subjects include Constitutional Law, Contract, Family, Criminal Law + CrPC, Civil Procedure, Evidence, ADR, Company Law, Environmental Law, Labour Law, and 13 others.
Why TCR for AIBE
Direct. Focused. Advocate-taught.
Open-book strategy is a skill
AIBE isn't about memorising 23 subjects — it's about knowing which bare-act page to open in 30 seconds. Our programme builds the indexing habit; every candidate leaves with an annotated, tabbed reference set.
Working advocate's constraints
Most AIBE candidates are practising or interning full-time. Our programme runs weekends + recorded sessions, calibrated to 4–6 hours per week.
One job — get you across the passing line
No aspirational marketing, no ranking language. AIBE has one job: qualify to practise. Our programme has one job: get you across, comfortably.

AIBE FAQ
Who is eligible?
Any LL.B. graduate from a BCI-approved institution enrolled with a State Bar Council. No age limit; no cap on attempts.
Is AIBE open-book in practice?
Yes — carry bare acts, commentaries, and printed notes. Preparation is about building an indexing system, not memorising. 3.5 hours is fair if you can locate provisions under 60 seconds.
What are the passing marks?
45% for General/OBC; 40% for SC/ST/PwD. No rank system — AIBE is pass/fail.
How many attempts?
Unlimited. Most candidates aim to clear on the first or second.
Is coaching necessary?
Not strictly — the syllabus is your LL.B. syllabus. But an open-book paper across 23 subjects is deceptively hard. A structured 6–8-week programme typically compresses 3 months of self-study.
How long to prepare from scratch?
6–10 weeks × 4–6 hours/week for a recent graduate. Add 4 weeks if 3+ years out of law school.
