The Bar Council of India has initiated the registration process for the 22nd iteration of the All India Bar Examination, opening the online application window on its official website. Aspiring lawyers and law graduates seeking to appear for the examination can now register through the designated portal.
The application deadline has been set for October 27, 2026, giving candidates a defined window to complete their registration and submit required documents.

Candidates are advised to visit the official BCI website to access the registration portal and review all eligibility criteria and procedural requirements before submitting their applications. The examination is conducted periodically to assess the competence and knowledge of aspiring legal professionals in constitutional law, criminal law, civil procedure, and other core legal subjects.
Prospective applicants should ensure they meet all qualification requirements and possess the necessary academic credentials before registering. With the extended registration period, candidates have sufficient time to prepare their documentation and complete the online enrollment process without rushing through the procedure.
