Overview
- The Bar Council of India published the set‑wise final answer key on the official AIBE portal on Friday, July 10, 2026, after reviewing objections to the provisional key.
- Results based on the final key are expected to be declared between July 15 and July 18, 2026, and will determine which candidates become eligible for the Certificate of Practice.
- AIBE scoring gives one mark for each correct answer with no negative marking, and qualifying thresholds are 45% for general and OBC candidates and 40% for SC, ST and PwD candidates.
- The BCI recorded roughly 2.65 lakh candidates for AIBE 21, with 1,65,613 men and 86,336 women appearing and reported qualification counts of 1,13,063 men, 61,310 women, plus 19 transgender candidates with 13 qualifiers.
- After results the CoP process includes digital verification via the AIBESCOPE app around three to four weeks later and physical certificates sent to State Bar Councils in about three to five months, and the final score may change if the BCI drops defective questions or awards grace marks following review.
