What is the cut-off mark for AIBE?

As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, there is no fixed cut-off mark for the AIBE (All India Bar Examination). The Bar Council of India, which conducts the exam, does not release any official cut-off marks. However, candidates must score a minimum of 40% marks to pass the exam. The AIBE is an open book exam, and candidates are allowed to carry their study materials and notes to the exam center. However, candidates must ensure that they have a thorough understanding of the concepts and topics as they will be required to apply their knowledge to solve the questions. The exam is conducted in multiple-choice format, and candidates must answer 100 questions within a duration of 3 hours and 30 minutes. The questions are based on various legal subjects such as constitutional law, contract law, criminal law, family law, and professional ethics and conduct. Candidates who pass the AIBE exam are awarded a Certificate of Practice by the Bar Council of India, which allows them to practice law in India. Candidates who do not pass the exam can appear for the exam again in the next session by paying the requisite fees.

The cutoff marks for AIBE exam are 40% marks of total scores for general/ OBC category candidates and 35% marks of total scores for SC/ST category. Incase wrong questions are found in the question paper, the total marks as well as cutoff marks will change for all categories. The cutoff marks are influenced by the answer key objections received by the exam authorities after the exam has been conducted. For AIBE 17 result, the passing marks or cutoff marks are to be decided out of 98 marks. It is because the exam authority has identified two wrong questions in the paper after candidates have raised objections. Therefore, the cutoff marks for AIBE 17 is 38.9 marks out of 98 marks for General and OBC category, and 34.3 marks out of 98 marks for SC/ST/PWD category. Similarly, in the past years, the cutoff marks was dropped to as low as 36 for General/ OBC category and 31 marks for SC/ST/PWD category as the exam authority had deleted 9 questions for AIBE XIV question paper.
