Adjusted Qualifying Marks & Cut-off

Following the review of the provisional answer key, the BCI Monitoring Committee (headed by former Supreme Court Justice Hima Kohli) decided to withdraw 5 questions that were found to be erroneous. Consequently, the final evaluation was conducted out of 95 marks instead of 100.

Category	Qualifying Percentage	Adjusted Qualifying Marks (Out of 95)
General / OBC	45%	43 Marks
SC / ST / PwD	40%	38 Marks

Note: For two specific questions where two options were found to be correct, the BCI has awarded full marks to candidates who chose either of the two correct options.

What Happens After Qualifying?

Qualifying the AIBE is a mandatory milestone for any law graduate to practice law in India. Now that the results are out:

Certificate of Practice (CoP): Successful candidates will be eligible to receive their CoP. While the digital version may be available on the ‘AIBE’ app later, the physical certificates are typically distributed through the respective State Bar Councils.
