AIBE to be Conducted Twice a Year; Final-Year Law Students Eligible to Appear Says BCI

The Supreme Court recorded the submission of the Bar Council of India that the All India Bar Examination will now be conducted at least twice a year.

It observed that the newly framed rules permit final-semester law students to appear for the AIBE, subject to clearing their final examinations.

The Court noted that the objective of the petition had been fulfilled in view of the revised rules. It held that no further directions were required once the regulatory framework had been amended.

Accordingly, the Court disposed of the writ petition after taking the BCI’s statement on record.
