Thumbnail: Viksit Haryana | AIBE 22 Admit Card 2026 — exam on 29 November 2026
If you registered for AIBE XXII, today is the most important day of your preparation — according to the Bar Council of India (BCI) schedule, the AIBE 22 admit card is due to be released today, 14 November 2026. You cannot sit the 29 November examination without it, so downloading it should be your first priority.
One thing must be stated plainly, though — as of about 5 pm on 14 November, the admit-card download link was not yet active on the official portal, and no new notice dated 14 November had appeared. Last time, the AIBE XXI admit card went live at 11:30 pm, so the link may activate late in the evening or at night. Below is the full download process, the exam details, and the five things you must check the moment your admit card appears.

When will the AIBE 22 admit card be released?
BCI published the full AIBE XXII schedule in its press release of 18 July 2026. Registration ran from 19 August to 27 October 2026, the fee-payment window was extended to 29 October 2026, and the correction window stayed open until 30 October 2026.
Under the same schedule, the admit card is due on 14 November 2026 — exactly 15 days before the exam. The latest position is that the link was not visible on the portal as of about 5 pm on 14 November. The exact time the link will go live has not been officially announced, so candidates should keep checking the portal through the evening and night, and print two copies as soon as the card appears.
How to download the AIBE 22 admit card
- Visit the official website, allindiabarexamination.com.
- Click Login and sign in with the User ID and password created during registration. Do not create a new account — it will not be linked to your form.
- Open the Admit Card tab or section for AIBE XXII.
- Your admit card will appear on screen — download it as a PDF.
- Print two copies — keep one in your bag and one separately. Printers fail on exam mornings.
If you can log in but no admit card appears, first check that your fee payment was completed and confirmed — an application with an incomplete payment does not generate an admit card. If the payment is confirmed and the link is still missing, contact the AIBE helpdesk listed on the portal.
Five things to check the day you download it
- Name spelling — it must match your photo ID exactly. This is the most common reason candidates are held up at verification.
- Photograph and signature — both must be clearly visible in the PDF, not blank or corrupted.
- Category — it decides your qualifying mark (45% for General/OBC, 40% for SC/ST/PwD).
- Centre address — look it up on a map the same day. Candidates lose the paper by reaching the wrong branch of a similarly named college.
- PwD provisions — if applicable, check the extra time (20 minutes per hour) and any scribe arrangement.
Once the application is submitted, the exam centre cannot be changed — the centre printed on the admit card is final.
