BCI to Allow Final-Year Law Students to Take AIBE Amid Supreme Court Hearing
Last Updated on September 17, 2024 by Srijan Raj
The Bar Council of India (BCI) has informed the Supreme Court that it is drafting rules to allow final-year law students to take the All India Bar Examination (AIBE). The decision was made during a hearing by the Supreme Court, where nine Delhi University law students filed a petition against the BCI’s recent notification barring them from taking the AIBE before graduation. The petitioners argued that the BCI’s decision contradicts a Constitutional bench judgment that allowed eligible students to take the AIBE. They sought quashing the BCI’s notification and a direction to allow the exam to be taken to avoid sacrificing their professional careers.
The AIBE exam is scheduled for November 24, 2024.
