Exclusive: The second All India Bar Exam (AIBE) was likely to take place on 12 June 2011, said Bar Council of India (BCI) chairman Gopal Subramanium last week, offering re-takes for the 5,700-odd candidates who failed the first exam or those who did not register or sit for the first exam.
Subramanium (pictured) told Legally India that the next AIBE was tentatively scheduled for Sunday, 12 June.
Roughly 71 per cent of candidates passed the first AIBE of 6 March, with pass rates in states such as Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh being between only 40 and 56 per cent.
Around 100 or fewer candidates in each of Orissa, Bihar, Assam, Jharkand and Jammu & Kashmir sat for the first AIBE.

2. Does one need to clear the bar exam to work as an associate at a law firm?
btw, will this certificate carry any weightage?
she could NOT appear for the 1st aibe.......now even 2nd aibe looks doubtful.
Its not the certificates or scores that matter right now. The whole purpose of the AIBE was to improve the standard of legal education in India. If the BCI had any semblance of integrity, they'd look at the results objectively to identify lacunae in the education system such as the one pointed out by #6.
Prof. V.B. Coutinho need only look at some of the colleges he has previously served at to find out where exactly we go wrong in helping aspiring advocates get the foundation they deserve.
The AIBE first exam is over, before conducting the second exam please send us the certificates. please take some precautionary measures while sending the certificates to the passed candidates, otherwise the certificates may be damaged in the mail (lot of chances are there for damage).
Second thing, do we have to inform the SBC where we took BC membership as advocate or BCI will take care?
Thanks.
LI better watchout Rajni has come to the comments list.....
That's the real fact.

Beaware ..
BCI is not taking calls when called to the helpline nos. Neither they are replying to e-mails when i want to know whether they will send us the practice certificates. Plz inquire into this indifference of BCI.
Response awaited from your side.
I HAVE DONT ANY BAR CONUCIL EXAM FORMS PLEASE FORMS FILAP CENTRE NAME.
MY Email ID- [...] please send mi exam centre name.
Thanking You.
On the next exam date, as the article points out it is tentative for now, so I don't think the BCI will have started sending out hall passes yet.
I imagine the process will be fairly similar to the last exams, with sign-ups and the like being announced. When there are announcements we will of course cover them here.
Best regards

Then, why there was so hurry to conduct AIBE.
Double Standard, Hypocrit.
Best wishes,
Kian
I don't know if that was due to your business interests or otherwise.
Don't try to be over-smart Kian.
Please point out any occasions when we have "tried to establish many points regarding AIBE" through posts or "exam loyalists".
What we have done is publish both criticisms of the way the AIBE was handled, support of the necessity for legal reform in general, arguments for and against, the arguments by the BCI's chairman for holding the exam early (which we expressly questioned in several interviews and editorial commentaries - and in any case the exam was postponed twice. We also disseminated general information from the BCI and other sources on the status of the exam and court cases challenging it.
We were also involved in the launch of a bar exam prep crash course, which was well received and very successful. We were transparent about this involvement and it was done entirely independently from our editorial coverage.
Please read most of our previous coverage at: www.legallyindia.com/tag/bar-exam
The point I was making is: before the exam not too many people seemed to be too bothered about the certificates or 'right to practice' judging by comments here, some state BC opposition, and the low sign-ups in some states. I agree that the BCI should ideally send out the certificates as soon as possible but judging by how long it took for study materials, etc to arrive I wouldn't hold my breath.
And in effect, I would surmise that anyone who has passed the exam can validly practice even without having to produce a certificate, which is not a legal requirement, right?
Please do enlighten me on your thinking and general animosity when you get a chance though.
Best wishes,
Kian
