How to correct the AIBE XXII application form
Candidates should follow these steps once the correction facility becomes available:
Visit the official AIBE website.
Open the AIBE XXII application or candidate login link.
Log in using the registered credentials.
Review the application form and identify the details that need correction.
Edit the permitted fields and verify the information before submitting the changes.
Save the updated application and retain a copy for future reference.
Candidates should check the revised form carefully before final submission. The correction facility does not permit changes to every field, and candidates should not assume that details excluded by the BCI can be modified.
Application fee and eligibility
The reported application fee is Rs 3,500 for General and OBC candidates and Rs 2,500 for SC, ST and persons with disabilities (PwD). The fee is non-refundable and non-transferable. Candidates should verify the applicable category and payment instructions on the official portal.
The AIBE is conducted by the BCI to assess whether law graduates meet the required standard to practise law in India. Candidates who qualify are awarded a Certificate of Practice, subject to the applicable rules. The examination is conducted in offline, pen-and-paper mode and is designed to assess candidates’ basic legal knowledge and analytical skills.
Revised syllabus for AIBE XXII
The BCI has also issued a revised subject-wise syllabus for AIBE XXII, specifying the distribution of 100 questions across 19 legal subjects. Candidates preparing for the November examination should refer to the revised syllabus rather than relying solely on older preparation material.
With the correction window closing on October 30, candidates should ensure that all permitted changes are submitted by the deadline and continue to monitor the official website for admit card notifications and further examination instructions.
