The Bar Council of India (BCI) is poised to announce the results for the All India Bar Examination (AIBE) XX (20) in the coming days. Candidates who took the test on November 30, 2025, can access their scores on the official portal, allindiabarexamination.com. The declaration will mark the culmination of the process that began with the provisional answer key release on December 3, 2025.
AIBE 20 Result Date and Expected Timeline
While the BCI has not announced an official date, historical trends provide a strong indicator. The AIBE 19 result was declared on March 21, 2025, for an exam held on December 22, 2024. Following a similar pattern, the AIBE 20 result is highly anticipated in late March or early April 2026. Candidates must use their original registration credentials—user ID and password—to log in and download the result.
Passing Marks and Category-Wise Criteria
The BCI has set clear benchmarks for clearing the AIBE. General and OBC category candidates must secure a minimum of 45 per cent to pass. For candidates belonging to Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST), and Persons with Disabilities (PwD) categories, the passing percentage is fixed at 40 per cent. It is important to note that if any questions are dropped from the final answer key after scrutiny, the qualifying marks will be recalculated accordingly.
