The Bar Council of India (BCI) is releasing the admit card for the All India Bar Examination (AIBE) XXII today, November 14, 2026. Law graduates who have registered for the exam can download their hall tickets from the official website, allindiabarexamination.com, using their login credentials. The examination is scheduled for November 29, 2026.
The admit card is a mandatory document. No candidate will be allowed inside the examination centre without a printed copy of the hall ticket and a valid government photo identity proof. With the exam just two weeks away, candidates are advised to download the document as soon as the link goes live and check every detail on it carefully.
AIBE 22 admit card 2026: key dates
The BCI had announced the AIBE XXII schedule well in advance. Registration for the examination opened on August 19, 2026, and closed on October 27, 2026. The admit card release was fixed for November 14, exactly fifteen days before the examination.
- Admit card release date: November 14, 2026
- AIBE XXII exam date: November 29, 2026 (Sunday)
- Exam timing: 1 pm to 4 pm
- Exam mode: Offline, pen and paper
- Official website: allindiabarexamination.com
The examination will be held in a single shift across designated centres in the country. Candidates should note that the council has not announced a specific time for activating the download link. Reports suggest the link may go live by the evening, and in past sessions the admit cards have rolled out in batches through the day. Candidates should keep checking the portal instead of waiting for a separate announcement.
How to download the AIBE 22 admit card
Downloading the hall ticket takes only a few minutes once the link is active. Candidates should keep their registration details ready before they begin.
- Visit the official website, allindiabarexamination.com.
- On the homepage, click on the AIBE XXII (22) admit card link.
- Enter the registered login ID and password in the designated fields.
- The admit card will appear on the screen.
- Download the hall ticket and take a printout for the examination day.
The BCI does not send physical copies of the admit card to candidates. The hall ticket is available only in online mode, and every candidate must carry a printed copy to the centre. It is a good idea to print two copies and keep one as a backup.
Details to check on the hall ticket
Once the admit card is downloaded, candidates should verify every detail printed on it. A mismatch discovered on the exam day can cost valuable time at the gate.
- Candidate name and photograph
- Roll number and registration number
- Examination date and timing
- Name and address of the examination centre
- Reporting time and exam-day instructions
If any detail is wrong, candidates should contact the AIBE helpdesk through the official portal before the examination. Corrections cannot be made at the centre on the day of the test.
What to carry on exam day
The AIBE is an open-book examination in the sense that candidates are allowed to carry bare Acts and certain reference material as per BCI rules, but the admit card and photo ID are non-negotiable. Candidates must reach the centre well before the reporting time mentioned on the hall ticket, since late entry is not permitted.
Along with the printed admit card, candidates should carry a valid government photo identity proof such as an Aadhaar card, PAN card, driving licence or passport. They should also carry a pen and any permitted bare Acts, and avoid carrying electronic devices, smartwatches or study notes that are not allowed inside the hall.
Why the AIBE matters
The All India Bar Examination is the qualifying test that law graduates must clear to practise law in India. Candidates who pass the examination are awarded the Certificate of Practice by the Bar Council of India, which allows them to enrol as advocates and appear before courts.
The examination tests a candidate’s knowledge across subjects studied during the LLB course, including constitutional law, criminal law, civil procedure, evidence, professional ethics and other core areas. Because the certificate is the gateway to legal practice, the admit card release is one of the most closely watched dates in the law exam calendar every year.
With the hall tickets now being released, the final fortnight before the exam is the time for revision and for sorting out logistics. Candidates should confirm their centre location in advance, plan their travel, and keep their documents ready so that the exam day itself is free of last-minute stress.
