The Bar Council of India (BCI), regulator of legal education in the country, has also extended the date of receipt of application till 31 August.
“Keeping in view the present pandemic situation and frequent lockdown, increasing number of corona patients daily, the council has resolved to postpone the All India Bar Examination to be held on August 16,” the Bar Council said.
According to a report by Live Law, the new date of the examination and schedule will be decided by the monitoring committee for AIBE. The panel will be headed by a former judge of the Supreme Court of India.
A report by NDTV mentions that the last AIBE was conducted on 15 September and the results were declared on 22 November.
