Eligibility Criteria for AIBE 2027

Before filling the AIBE 2027 application form, confirm you meet all eligibility conditions set by the Bar Council of India:

  • You must hold an LLB, BA-LLB, BLS-LLB, or LLM degree from a BCI-recognised institution.
  • You must be enrolled as an advocate with a State Bar Council at the time of application — this is a non-negotiable prerequisite.
  • There is no upper age limit to appear in AIBE.
  • There is no limit on the number of AIBE attempts — you can re-appear until you pass.
  • Students who have recently completed their law degree can apply as soon as they complete their State Bar Council enrolment.

The BCI has consistently clarified that enrolment with a State Bar Council must precede AIBE registration. If you are still pursuing enrolment, complete that process first before attempting to register for AIBE 2027.
