98 days to AIBE 22

Didn't clear AIBE 21? AIBE 22 is on 29 November.

About a third of candidates did not clear AIBE 21. That is a large group, and almost none of it is being helped specifically. The exam now runs twice a year, so you are not waiting twelve months — but registration for AIBE 22 closed on 27 October, and the paper is in 98 days.

The thing worth knowing first

Most people who miss AIBE do not miss it because they do not know the law. They miss it because they ran out of clock. 100 questions in 210 minutes is 2 minutes 6 seconds each, and if you spend four minutes hunting for a section in an untabbed bare act, you have spent two questions' worth of time on one answer.

So the useful question is not "what should I revise?" It is "which three subjects cost me the most marks, and can I find their sections fast enough?"

Find the three subjects that cost you

Fifteen questions, drawn across the weightage. It reports back which subjects are losing you the most marks — weighted by how many marks each subject is actually worth, not by raw accuracy. A shaky CPC costs you ten marks. A shaky Cyber Law costs you two.

What changed since you last sat it

• The BNS, BNSS and BSA replaced the IPC, CrPC and Evidence Act, renumbering essentially the whole of criminal law. If you prepared on the old numbering, roughly a quarter of the paper moved under you. Free converters: IPC→BNS, CrPC→BNSS, IEA→BSA.
• AIBE 21's cut-off was moderated down by three marks by the Monitoring Committee. Do not plan for a cut-off to move; plan for 45.
• The Bar Council has told the Supreme Court that AIBE will be held twice a year.

A plan that fits the time left

1. Diagnose, don't revise blind. Fifteen questions tell you where the marks are leaking. Revising what you already know is the most common way to waste these weeks.
2. Fix the four ten-mark subjects first. Constitutional Law, CrPC/BNSS, CPC and IPC/BNS are 38 marks between them. You need 45 in total.
3. Tab your bare acts, blank tabs only. Then practise with them, timed.
4. Sit two full mocks. 100 questions, 3h30m, no feedback until you submit. Nothing else tells you whether your pace is real.
5. Answer every question. No negative marking. A blank and a wrong guess cost the same, so a blank is a pure loss.
