Overview
- The Bar Council of India opened AIBE XXII registration on Wednesday, Aug. 19, 2026, and the online window stays open until October 27 with fee payment due by October 28, a correction window through October 30, admit cards on November 14, and the exam on November 29.
- The exam is the mandatory credentialing test for recent LLB graduates and final‑year students with no backlogs to obtain the Certificate of Practice required to appear in Indian courts.
- Candidates must apply through the official AIBE portals (reported as allindiabarexamination.com and aibe.digivarsity.online), upload identity and education documents such as matriculation and LLB certificates, and retain registration IDs and payment receipts.
- Coverage notes a discrepancy in reported application fees across outlets — figures for General/OBC range from Rs 3,500 to Rs 3,560 and reserved/PwD amounts differ — and portals state that paid fees are non‑refundable and that IP addresses are logged for security.
- Prospective test‑takers should complete applications early, check the official portal for the final fee schedule and payment gateway, and use the October 28–30 window to resolve any form or payment errors to avoid their application being marked incomplete.
