AIBE XXI Result 2026: Key Numbers
The All India Bar Examination XXI was conducted on 7 June 2026 across 292 examination centres spanning 60 cities nationwide, drawing participation from law graduates seeking permission to practise in Indian courts. With the AIBE XXI Result 2026 now out, the qualifying percentage of 65.92% marks one of the more closely watched pass rates in recent bar exam cycles, largely because the BCI lowered the minimum marks required this year. General category candidates now need 43 out of 100 to qualify, while candidates from the SC/ST category must score 37 out of 100.
How to Check the AIBE XXI Scorecard
Candidates can follow these steps to access their result:

- Locate the “Candidate Login” section on the homepage.
- Enter the registered application number and password or date of birth.
- Complete the captcha verification where prompted.
- The scorecard will display the marks secured and qualifying status.
- Download and save the result PDF for future reference, including for CoP-related formalities.
Candidates who believe there is an error in their scorecard should raise it through the BCI’s official grievance channel rather than relying on unofficial sources for corrections.
Certificate of Practice and What Comes Next
Only candidates who clear the AIBE XXI Result 2026 cut-off are entitled to receive the Certificate of Practice, without which a law graduate cannot formally appear in Indian courts. The Bar Council of India has structured the exam as a mandatory post-enrolment qualifying test rather than a competitive ranking exam, meaning there is no merit list; every candidate crossing the qualifying marks in their category is deemed to have passed. Successful candidates are advised to retain a printed copy of their scorecard, as it forms part of the documentation required when applying for the Certificate of Practice through their respective State Bar Council.
