The Bar Council of India (BCI) has officially declared the results for the All India Bar Examination (AIBE) XXI. Law graduates who appeared for the highly anticipated examination, which took place on June 7, 2026, can now access and download their scorecards from the official BCI website.
Out of the 1,75,701 candidates who sat for the test, a total of 1,15,805 candidates successfully qualified. Meanwhile, 59,876 candidates did not clear the examination. This crucial certification serves as the final gateway for aspiring lawyers to gain their Certificate of Practice (CoP), which legally authorizes them to practice law in courts across India.

For law graduates in India, the AIBE is a mandatory milestone. Without clearing this assessment, graduates cannot obtain their CoP, making this result one of the most critical announcements in the legal academic calendar.
Candidates can view their qualifying status and download their official scorecard by logging into the BCI portal using either their application number and date of birth, or their registered User ID and password.
