AIBE Exam: A Barrier To Entry Or A Necessary




Gowthama Akshaya. S, Yuvarani. S & Mano. R, LL.M., The Central Law College, Salem


ABSTRACT


The All India Bar Examination (AIBE) has been met with opposition from many law graduates, despite its intention to test their knowledge and skills in the field of law. The exam's lack of relevance, unnecessary complexity, and unfair questions have led to widespread criticism among students. The exam places too much emphasis on theoretical concepts, rather than practical skills, which are more important for lawyers. The questions are often ambiguous or open-ended, making it difficult for students to accurately answer, and the exam's format, which consists of multiple-choice questions and essay answers, has been criticized for being too rigid and not allowing students to express their thoughts and opinions freely. As a result, many law graduates feel that the AIBE is unnecessary and that it takes away from their time that could be spent on more practical skills, and that it is not an effective way to assess a student's preparedness for practicing law in India.
