AC Team
If you sat for the AIBE 21 exam and have been refreshing the official website every hour since June, you are not alone. The wait for the final answer key can feel longer than the exam itself. Good news though: the Bar Council of India is set to release the AIBE 21 Final Answer Key soon on allindiabarexamination.com, and this key will decide who gets closer to holding a Certificate of Practice.
Let us walk through everything you need to know, without the legal jargon (ironic, given the exam is for lawyers).
What Happened So Far
The BCI conducted the AIBE 21 Examination on June 7, 2026. Soon after, on June 10, 2026, the provisional answer key came out. Candidates got a window till June 17, 2026 to raise objections. That window is now closed, and no further objections will be accepted. The final answer key will reflect any corrections made after reviewing those objections.

How to Calculate Your Score
The AIBE follows a straightforward marking scheme. There are 100 questions, each worth one mark, and there is no negative marking. So even if you guess an answer and get it wrong, you lose nothing. This makes the calculation easy: just count your correct answers using the final key, and that is your score out of 100.
| Particulars | Details |
|---|---|
| Negative Marking | No |
| Number of Questions | 100 |
| Marks per Question | 1 |
| Total Marks | 100 |
Passing Marks You Should Know
General and OBC category candidates need at least 45 marks out of 100 to clear the exam. Candidates from SC, ST, and PwD categories need a minimum of 40 marks. These numbers matter because scoring even one mark below the cutoff means you will need to appear again.
Checking Your AIBE 21 Result
Once the result is out, here is how you check it:
- Go to the AIBE portal
- Click on the result tab
- A login window will open
- Enter your roll number and date of birth as registered
- Your result will appear on the screen
- Download and print it for future reference
Your scorecard will show your name, enrollment number, result status, father's or husband's name, roll number, photograph, and signature. Keep this document safe since you will need it later.
What About the Certificate of Practice?
The Certificate of Practice, or CoP, is what allows you to actually practice law in Indian courts. Without it, you can hold a law degree and still not step into a courtroom as an advocate. The CoP is issued only after you clear the AIBE, and this year it is expected to arrive by September. You can download it from the official portal using your enrollment number.
Common Questions Candidates Are Asking
Is there negative marking in AIBE?
No. You get one mark for every correct answer. Wrong or unattempted questions do not cost you anything.
Can I challenge the answer key?
Yes, but only during the objection window, which has already closed for AIBE 21. The final key is prepared after reviewing all valid objections.
What if I fail?
You will not receive the CoP, but do not panic. The BCI has removed the cap on the number of attempts, and starting this year, the exam is held twice annually. So there is always another shot.
Do I need to log in to check the answer key?
No. The answer key is open for anyone to view and download once released. The login is only required for checking your result.
A Quick Word of Encouragement
The AIBE is not designed to trick you. It tests whether you understand the basics well enough to practice law responsibly. If you prepared well and stayed calm during the exam, trust that effort. If things did not go as planned, remember that this exam now happens twice a year, so the next attempt is not far away. Keep the official website bookmarked, keep your roll number handy, and the rest will follow.
