Rahul Sharma Question paper easier than expected. BCI should remove Bare Acts and make paper little bit tough. 
Vishal Mehra Question paper was easy, and he expects over 70 marks.
Shyambhavi BCI should add more questions based on Bare Acts, as they were unclear which Sections to refer for questions based on Torts
Sai Krishna 1 question IT Act, based on Jurisdiction only, and most questions were asked from CrPc, CPC, Arbitration, IPC, Indian Evidence Act, Torts etc

The AIBE syllabus is considered moderate in difficulty, focusing on fundamental legal concepts rather than complex, specialised knowledge. However, since it is no more the open-book exam, candidates have huge syllabus to cover.
