The Bar Council of India has announced recently that from All India Bar Examination-XVI (AIBE-XVI)onwards, no books, notes, or study material will be allowed in the Examination Hall.

Though as stated in the notification, candidates are allowed to carry Bare Acts without notes. Bare Acts are the exact text of a particular enactment by the legislature without interpretation.

The official notification released by BCI read as:

“This is to notify that All India Bar Examination-XVI (AIBE-XVI) onwards, no books, notes, or study material will be allowed in the Examination Hall. Candidates can carry bare acts without notes.”

The council conducted the All India Bar Examination as an open book exam and carrying study material to the examination hall was also allowed till AIBE- XV.  However, BCI’s latest decision to restrict candidates from using books while appearing for the exam may take the exam tougher.
