The Bar Council of India published the AIBE 19 provisional answer key on 28 December 2024. Candidates may think about what constitutes a good score in AIBE 19. This is because, as discussed above, the All India Bar Examination is a qualifying examination. It means that candidates need to obtain only the AIBE passing marks to clear AIBE 19. Let's try to find out what is the best score in AIBE 19, including the cut-off scores during the previous years. Read the complete article and learn more about it.
Candidates who pass the bar exam are issued with a Certificate of Practice (CoP), which is a prerequisite document to practice law in India.
Since AIBE 19 is a qualifying examination, all students who clear the AIBE 19 cut-off will be assumed to have cleared the exam. Therefore, a good mark in AIBE 19 exam 2024 is the same as the AIBE 19 cut-off. A good score in AIBE 19 varies concerning categories.
The BCI announced that candidates who will score marks equal to or more than the AIBE cutoff 2024 will be considered qualified for the AIBE 19 exam. The AIBE 19 cutoff has been revised for the general category. Till the previous sessions, the AIBE Cutoff was 38 per cent for the general category. However, from AIBE 18 onwards, the AIBE cutoff for the general category will be 45 per cent. However, some relaxations will be provided to OBC, SC and ST candidates in the AIBE 19 qualifying cutoff 2024. The AIBE cut-off marks are the minimum marks (or percentage) that candidates need to obtain in their category to clear the certification exam.
BCI will notify the official AIBE cut-off 2024 marks on its official website. The cut-off will be notified after the declaration of the AIBE 2024 results as per the final answer key. Candidates can check the AIBE 19 cut-off by following the steps given below:
