AIBE 2025 Application Deadline Looms: Law Graduates Prepare to Clear Mandatory Exam

As of October 26, 2025, the Bar Council of India (BCI) has announced that the application process for the All India Bar Examination (AIBE) 2025 will close on October 28, 2025. The AIBE is a mandatory entrance-cum-eligibility test for law graduates who have obtained their LL.B degree from recognized universities in India.

The AIBE 2025 exam is designed to evaluate a candidate's analytical abilities, legal knowledge, and basic understanding of the law, ensuring that all advocates meet the minimum professional standards required to practice law in the country. Candidates must be Indian citizens, hold a valid LL.B degree, and be enrolled as advocates with a State Bar Council to be eligible to appear for the exam.

Aspiring advocates have until October 28, 2025, to complete the application process, which includes submitting required documents such as the LL.B degree certificate, mark sheets, enrollment certificate, and a valid photo ID. Clearing the AIBE is essential for law graduates to obtain the Certificate of Practice and pursue a career in law, judiciary, or legal research in India.
