The Advocates can also download the same from the website of the Bar Council of India ic. www.barcouncilofindia.org and submit the format to their respective State Bar Council through their respective Bar Association or advocates can also submit the format directly to the State Bar Councils. NO PROCESS FEE is required to be submitted along with the aforementioned format. 

In some Associations, those advocates enrolled after Verification Forms as per rules of 2015 such Advocate Declaration Forms for giving information as to whether they have passed A. I B. E.

Two passport size photographs of the advocates are required to be attached along with the said Declaration Form."

Candidates can obtain the declaration form for AIBE COP from their respective state bar councils website or they can visit the state bar council in person to obtain it. Some SBC will require fee for issuing COP, but it would be of nominal only. 

Candidates must note that the declaration form of COP must be for the current year, if they are downloading it from any website.

Candidates are generally required to attempt and qualify AIBE within two years of provisional enrollment. But, there is no limit on number of attempts, even if this enrollement period is over. All persons who want to practise law in India must have COP issued to them by a state bar council, therefore, the limit on number of attempts for AIBE exam never levied.

Candidates who qualify AIBE 17 will have to obtain COP as a hardcopy to keep practising. They must have Certificate of Practice to appear before the honourable court or their professional ethics will be in question.

BCI has formed a Fact Finding Comittee related to reports of Cheating/ Misconduct at Rajkot test centre on the exam day.

Yes, candidates will be able to check and download their results for AIBE 17 on their mobile phones as well. They will be able to save their result as a pdf file for future references as required. In order to fill the declaration form along with a copy of AIBE result, candidates will be required to get a printout of the result page.

Candidates who will qualify AIBE 17, will be able to obtain COP only after they submit declaration form to their enrolled state bar council. This process of obtaining COP from state bar council is still an offline mode process, therefore, obtaining COP in online mode is not an option. Last year, for AIBE XVI, BCI has launched a mobile application, AIBESCOPE to provide/ enable online AIBE COP download service for candidates. However, many candidates reported the application to be not helpful, and finally, they had to obtain COP in offline mode only.

The bar council may with-held result of AIBE 17 for the following reasons:

• Cheating reported at any test centres
• Details mis-match with application form and answersheet
• Details missing on answersheet
• Bio-metric verification incomplete (Although the exam authority has confirmed that it will declare results of all candidates even if biometric attendance was not done at the test centres)

According to BCI's laid down "provisions of Section 49(i) (ah) of the Advocates Act, 1961, which enable the Bar Council of India to frame rules prescribing the conditions subject to which an advocate shall have the right to practice and the circumstances under which a person shall be deemed to practice as an advocate in a court.

Further,  After clearing All India Bar Examination, the candidate is awarded certificate of practice by Bar Council of India. Qualified member in the exam can attend court hearings in any tribunals courts and administrative bodies.

The All India Bar Examination is a post-enrolment examination where persons are initially said to be provisionally enrolled on an undertaking that they will pass the exam within 2 years of said enrolment.

Finally, in BCI Resolution dated 31.01.2017, it has been clarified that while the right to practice would only be for two years under a provisional enrolment, the said person can continue to take the Bar Examination as many times as is possible. The result therefore is that any person who is provisionally enrolled is allowed to practice for two years, but is allowed to take the exam not just for two years but for any number of times till he passes the exam while the date of reckoning seniority is from the date of the provisional enrolment." 

Therefore, a lawyer enrolled with state bar council may be able to participate in legal formalities of a court without COP till 2 years after enrollment (with exemption period). However, to continue practise or enter into litigation he/she must be a certified lawyer, which is possible only after they obtain COP from their respective state bar councils. 

As All India Bar Examination result is announced with only qualifying status PASS or FAIL, candidates never get to know their marks. But, if they want to know their marks obtained in AIBE 17, then they can write an email to the exam authority requesting the same. 

Although, the AIBE 17 result login window will require AIBE roll number and date of birth as the password, and if candidates have forgotten these details then they will be able to obtain by emailing to BCI official ID - bci.helpdesk@cbtexams.in

Candidates applying for AIBE 17 result re-checking will be required to pay nominal fee of INR 200 as the rechecking process fee. They will be able to pay this fee in online mode only when filling up the application for rechecking of AIBE result.

BCI will publish final answer key with revised answers for the questions reported by the candidates (if found correct). The direct link for AIBE 17 final answer key will be available at allindiabarexamination.com only.

As per the previous sessions of AIBE exam, the cutoff trend was as under:

In case, any candidate is not able to qualify AIBE 17, then he/she will be allowed to practise with their enrolled courts, till the completion of two years of their enrollment (including exemption period as resolved on December 30, 2022, that period from October 31, 2021 to April 2023, will be counted within 2 years of enrollment of a candidate). Once this period is complete, candidate will have to enroll again and qualify the next AIBE exam i.e. 18th session.

AIBE 17 result rechecking window may be provided to candidates only at the discretion of the Bar Council of India. The candidates will be able to apply online for AIBE result rechecking, if there result status shows FAIL/ WITHHELD. However, the AIBE 17 result rechecking facility will be provided few days after the result declaration, and not right after it. 

The exam authority has informed candidates that they need to obtain 40% of total marks (35% in case of SC/ ST/PWD) to qualify the bar examination, AIBE. There can be a drop in the qualifying marks if total questions from the paper are reduced. However, the cutoff marks/ minimum qualifying marks will not increase. 

As informed by BCI, "If any candiate of AIBE 17 held of 05.02.2023 has missed out on biometric attendance they need not worry, so long as their verification was done in the classroom while giving the exam by way of taking their signatures. Their answer sheets will be taken into account and their results will be duly declared when result of the examination is declared."

This means, AIBE 17 results for all candidates who appeared for the examination will be declared, irrespective of incorrect details on the answer sheet or incomplete Biometric Attendance Process (which was a mandatory for all test centres, but was missed at few test centres).
