The final answer key to the All India Bar Examination (AIBE) 20, 2025, has been officially released by the Bar Council of India (BCI), which is a crucial update for thousands of law graduates in the country. The exam is a qualifying test that was conducted on November 30, 2025, for candidates who are interested in obtaining the Certificate of Practice (CoP). After the publication of the provisional answer key and the objection window, BCI has now dropped five questions in all sets. BCI has taken off five AIBE 20 questions that were flawed after objections, changing the scoring to 95 with new passing marks. The results will be out shortly, and the final key will be mandatory for candidates appearing in the law examination.

Why This Matters
The AIBE is not a competitive test but a qualifying test. If they qualify, it enables law students to work in Indian courts. The five-question withdrawal is important, as it can slightly change the scoring patterns and cut-offs. Candidates can now:
Compare their answers to the last key.
Predict their performance in advance.
Get ready to join state bar councils.
What's Next?
The declaration of results is the second step that will follow the release of the AIBE 20 final answer key and is likely to be announced soon, and will be based on the revised key completely. The successful candidates will then be awarded their Certificate of Practice (CoP), which formally allows them to commence their legal careers. Notably, there is no additional objection that can be made, since the final answer key is binding at the end of the evaluation process.
