This year's 65.92 per cent pass rate marks a decline from AIBE 20, in which 69.21 per cent of candidates qualified when results were announced in January 2026. Of the 1,75,701 candidates who sat for AIBE 21, 1,15,805 cleared the paper, while the rest fell short of the moderated cut-off.
Before releasing the result, the BCI reduced the qualifying marks by three on the recommendation of its Monitoring Committee. Initially, the cut-off was fixed at 45 marks for General category candidates and 40 marks for SC, ST and PwD candidates, out of 100. After the Committee reviewed the question paper and the overall performance of candidates, it unanimously decided to moderate the results by lowering the qualifying threshold by three marks — bringing the effective cut-off to 42 for General and 37 for SC/ST/PwD candidates. This moderation directly benefits borderline candidates.
The AIBE 21 examination was held on June 7, 2026, in offline (pen-and-paper) mode at 292 examination centres across 60 cities. A total of 1,75,701 candidates appeared, comprising:
Male candidates: 1,10,909
Female candidates: 64,784
Transgender candidates: 8
Candidates who qualify AIBE 21 are eligible for the Certificate of Practice (CoP) issued by the Bar Council of India, which is mandatory to practise law in Indian courts. The CoP can be accessed via the AIBESCOPE application and collected from the respective State Bar Council. Candidates should verify all details on the certificate and report any discrepancy to the BCI.
