AIBE 18 exam analysis 2023 is now OUT. The analysis is provided by test-takers, giving details about the exam difficulty level. Every year, Shiksha connects with AIBE candidates to get details of the question papers and overall conduct of examination. Candidates who appeared for the said that the AIBE 18 Exam difficulty level was moderate to tough. As per the test-takers, the AIBE 18 Question paper 2023 carried precedent case laws, and landmark judgements directly from Bare Acts. Those who have already practiced the previous year's AIBE Question Paper said that the AIBE 18 2023 Question Paper was in similar lines to it.

Latest:

Until 2020, AIBE was conducted as an open book exam, and candidates faced difficulties as it was not confirmed from the questions would be asked. But, from AIBE XVI onwards, the exam is no longer an open book exam, which gave candidates a relief from carrying extra loads of study material to the exam centre. Before this change, candidates used to carry bundles of books in a trolley bag to attemp the bar examination.

AIBE 18 was moderate as 90% candidates who took the exam could attempt 60+ questions without referring to Bare Acts. There were more than 50 questions directly from Bare Acts, therefore, those who carried all sets of Bare Acts can easily score above 80 marks. Now that candidates only allowed to carry Bare Acts with them, they felt a little relaxed for attempting the bar examination. Know here all about AIBE exam analysis with details of the exam pattern and subjects. 

Q:   Is All India Bar Examination (AIBE) tough?

A:

Yes, AIBE is indeed tough. Candidates who qualify in the AIBE exam are issued COP certificates that allow the candidates to practice law in a court of law in India. Without the COP certificate, one cannot practice law in Indian courts. Both 3-year LLB and 5-year LLB graduates are eligible to appear in the AIBE exam.  Hence, it is not only tough but indeed mandatory for lawyers. In order to crack AIBE exam, candidates need to make sure that they are consistent and regular with their preparation.

Q:   Can one practise law without passing the bar examination?

A:
No, Since Qualifying AIBE (All India Bar Exam) is essential to practice law in India. Students cannot practice in a court of law without a Certificate of Practice, issued only after qualifying All India Bar Exam. Students can practice for two years after provisional enrollment but they must be eligible for the All India Bar Exam if they want to appear before the courts.
