AIBE-PRESS RELEASE OF BCI ON 17/8/10
DEAR SIR
IN PRESS RELEASE OF BCI THEY HAVE PROVIDED THE DEFINITION OF ACADEMIC YEAR. THE DEFINITION IS-
“Academic Year shall mean the period of the year during which students attend a law
school, commencing with the first classes or lectures for a particular year of the 3-
year or 5-year Ll.B. programme (as applicable), and culminating with the last of such
classes or lectures and applicable year or term end examinations. Law
students graduating in the Academic Year 2009-2010, therefore, would mean those
students who have completed their final year of study (third year in the case of 3-year
Ll.B. programmes, and fifth year in the case of 5-year Ll.B. programmes) in the
calendar year 2010, and, being eligible to appear for their final year examinations,
have successfully passed such examinations.”
SO MY QUERY IS THAT I HAVE PASSED IN LAW IN 2009 AND EVEN LAW COURSE COMPLETED IN THE YEAR 2009 OF WHICH UNIVERSITY HAS AWARDED THE CERTIFICATE OF PASSED IN 2009 OR COMPLETED THE COURSE IN 2009, SO WHETHER I NEED TO APPEAR BAR EXAM OR NOT?

To Vijay Sir,
If u have gone carefully through the Press Release issued by the BCI then u would get to know that this Bar Exam is specifically applicable from the batch which has passed in 2010 as the Press Realease clearly states as mentioned heredunder -
“those students who have completed their final year of study in the calendar year 2010”
Then, how come the question of students passed in 2009 arise at all ?? Also, for you knowledge, if u have passed your final year in 2009 , the academic session for your last year would be 2008-2009 and not 2009-2010.
So you need not worry about giving the Bar Examination. Hope this information satisfies your query.
