Repeated topics in AIBE Exam

Repeated Topics in AIBE Exam: All India Bar Examination (AIBE) is an exam in which candidates have to mark their answers on an OMR sheet. AIBE question paper does not ask long passage based questions. It directly asks section based and case based questions from bare Acts. This is why knowing most repeated topics can help candidate in AIBE exam preparation. 
AIBE 22 will be held on  November 29, 2026, in pen and paper mode. After analysing AIBE previous year question papers, we now know that Bar Council of India (BCI) repeats same set of subjects and same kind of provisions every year. Weightage of each subject is already fixed in AIBE syllabus. In those subjects, a few topics come again and again.
Candidates are also advised to go through AIBE previous year question papers to get an idea of AIBE exam pattern and difficulty level.

Why Prepare Repeated Topics in AIBE Exam?

Candidates are advised to prepare all nineteen subjects given in AIBE syllabus but after analysing previous years question paper, we can say that some of topics gets repeated and candidates should really give them some extra time while preparing.
Passing percentage in AIBE exam is 45 for General and OBC candidates and 40 percent for SC, ST and PwD candidates. So a candidate only needs around 45 correct answers out of 100. So, if candidate prepares only repeated topics then also there is a chance of them clearing AIBE exam.
