The Bar Council of India (BCI) is expected to declare the official results for the All India Bar Examination (AIBE XXI) by late evening. Candidates who appeared for the certification exam can access their digital scorecards directly via the official portal at allindiabarexamination.com.

AIBE 21 Category-Wise Cut-Off Marks 2026
Because the final answer key did not result in any withdrawn or deleted questions this session, the passing criteria remain at the standard baseline out of 100 total marks.
- General / OBC Candidates: A minimum score of 45% (45 marks out of 100) is required to pass.
- SC / ST / PwD Candidates: A minimum score of 40% (40 marks out of 100) is required to pass.
What to Do If Your AIBE Result is “Withheld”?
Every year, a small percentage of candidates receive a “Withheld” status on their dashboard instead of a clear Pass/Fail result. This typically happens due to:
- Blur or missing biometric verification data at the exam centre.
- Incomplete or incorrect set-code selection on the OMR sheet.
- Pending document verification (e.g., missing State Bar Council enrollment certificates).
If your result is withheld, you must upload the requested rectifications via the official BCI correction window or contact the helpdesk directly with your roll number.
Next Steps After Passing: How to Get Your CoP
Clearing the AIBE 21 exam grants you a permanent Certificate of Practice (CoP), which is legally mandatory to practice law in Indian courts.
- Digital Copy: A digital version of your CoP will be available for download on the AIBESCOPE mobile application within a few weeks of the result announcement.
- Physical Copy: The BCI prints and dispatches physical hard copies of the certificates directly to respective State Bar Councils.
- Collection: Candidates can collect their physical CoP from their registered State Bar Council office within 3 to 5 months.
