New Delhi: Nearly 22,000 budding law graduates who took the All India Bar Examination (AIBE) held on March 6, 71 per cent of them have cleared it successfully, said Gopal  Subramaniam, chairman of the Bar Council of India on Saturday.

This was the first such entry-level examination held to assess a candidate's capabilities as lawyer at the basic level and to set a minimum standard for admission to the practice of law. Only a pass in this examination will enable the advocate to practice the legal profession. It was held across 26 cities barring Chennai, where it was postponed following violence intended to disturb the examination.

The results could be accessed on the BCI website [www.barcouncilofindia.org]. Candidates could get to know their individual result by typing in their roll number for the AIBE. The results were also being sent to the State Bar Councils across the country.

Candidates who did not pass the test would be allowed to take the next AIBE, and the details of which would be provided shortly. For candidates in Chennai who could not take the test, the AIBE would be held in the city before month-end. More than 22,000 lawyers had enrolled for the AIBE, which was held in 44 centres.
