Bar Exam Results 2012, Breaking: Around 63 per cent passed the 8 January 2012 All India Bar Exam (AIBE) out of more than 25,000 graduates who enrolled, said the Bar Council of India (BCI) today.

According to statistics released by the BCI, 24,844 candidates registered, of whom 23,452 appeared for the exam.

Only 14,740 passed – or 63 per cent – which is 6 per centage points lower than the pass rate of the previous bar exam of August 2011.

BCI chairman Ashok Parija said in today’s press release: “I am happy that the AIBE for all candidates was conducted in Tamil Nadu this time. As the AIBE is getting more entrenched it is also acquiring the characteristics of a standardised testing mechanism. [ ] The pass percentage of repeat candidates (who did not clear the earlier AIBEs) is lower than that of fresh candidates.”

The statistics reveal that out of 19,925 first-time test takers, 61 per cent passed, but only 30 per cent passed out of 3,527 repeat candidates.

Almost half the number of women as men took the exam (7,952 women as against 15,500 men), but pass rates were almost identical for both genders.
