AIBE (XVII) 2022 Exam Day Guidelines

The Bar Council on India (BCI) conducts the All India Bar Examination (AIBE) twice every year. The AIBE XVII exam is supposed to be held in September 2022 and the application form will tentatively release by the third week of August 2022. Following the order of the Delhi High Court, BCI had released some COVID-related SOPs for AIBE XV which will be followed for AIBE XVII as well. As per the notice, it is crucial to possess the Arogya Setu App and Health Declaration form in order to appear for the AIBE exam.

The AIBE XVII (17) announcement will shortly be made available by the Bar Council of India (BCI). The official website, https://aibe15.allindiabarexamination.com/, will also open registrations for AIBE XVII (17) in 2022 in conjunction with the notice. Application forms for the AIBE 2022 will only be available online, and candidates must enroll with a state bar council to receive an enrolment ID. The AIBE notification is typically released in March or April, however, the Bar Council of India is still deciding on some key AIBE components, such as eligibility requirements, AIBE test format, and AIBE exam mode, for the AIBE XVII (17) 2022 notification.

Once the notification is made public, the precise information on AIBE 2022 will be accessible. However, candidates should be aware of the following adjustments for AIBE 17:

• Candidates who are pursuing "other professions," that is, fields other than law, are permitted to sit for the AIBE exam and register as advocates provisionally. This could alter the 2022 AIBE eligibility requirements.
• Modifications to the exam format, as well as the days and times of the exams.
• For AIBE 2022, BCI will impose stringent testing requirements, therefore candidates could not be permitted to bring any reference materials, including Bare Acts.
• As of AIBE 2022, a negative marking scheme will be used.

 Once the AIBE 17 notification is made public, these changes will be verified. Through the AIBESCOPE mobile application, BCI has already given "Certificates of Practice" to AIBE XVI qualified candidates. Candidates studying for AIBE XVII (17) can find all the latest news and important details about the upcoming exam here.

All candidates who aspire to practice law in India must appear for and clear the AIBE exam. Only after receiving the "Certificate of Practice" from the BCI after clearing AIBE are candidates eligible to practice law in the country. AIBE is conducted in the offline mode across several AIBE exam centres in the country. In this article, all candidates appearing for AIBE (XVII) 2022 will find the exam day guidelines that they must follow.
