Bar exam results postponed to Saturday press conference [Update-2]

The Bar Council of India (BCI) will publish the first All India Bar Exam (AIBE) results tonight or tomorrow (17 March), said BCI chairman Gopal Subramanium.

“We are either announcing tonight or tomorrow on the [BCI] website,” Subramanium told Legally India today (Tuesday, 16 March).

He said that no password would be required to access the results and that the web link intermittently available today and requiring a password was not correct.

Legally India reported last week that the BCI chairman and solicitor general said last week that the results would probably be published by 16 March.

Update 17 March 18:39: Bar exam convenor Gopal Sankaranarayanan reportedly told legal news site Bar & Bench that the results would be declared via a press conference on 19 March between 12 noon and 3pm.

Update 18 March 09:24: In an email just in:

This is to invite all of you to a Press Conference to be held tomorrow (Saturday 19th March 2011) at Press Club at 1 pm. The Chairman BCI, Mr.Gopal Subramaniam and Mr.Nikhil Chandra, President Rainmaker, along with Prof.V.B.Coutinho will be present. The purpose of the Conference is to brief the Press as to the Results of the 1st All India Bar Examination (AIBE), along with details of the same, subject of course, to the last leg to be held at Chennai.

I hope all of you would be able to make it. If there are any colleagues missed out in this mail, please feel free to forward this to them as well.

Warm regards,

Gopal Sankaranarayanan,

Convenor AIBE.

Update 18 March 14:23: BCI chairman Gopal Subramanium explained the results announcement delay in an email: “The results were ready dot on time,” he wrote, “but we needed to be perfectly sure!”

The original link was this one:

[or http://bit.ly/gAYUTm ]

But they could be announcing the results on another page via the BCI front-page...

[Note: I wouldn't worry about the link, it might not be the final one, just check the BCI front-page or keep checking Legally India's Twitter feed or FB page, we'll announce it when we hear about it -Kian]

I think there is some misunderstanding here.

That link above is NOT necessarily the link that the results will be published on.

And GS said that NO password will be required. I assume it will be a downloadable PDF document, as in the case of the rolls of candidates, etc.

If it is so spontaneous why there are so many Writs before diffrent Courts all over India and BCI wilfully trying to evade them.

If they really want to upgrade our legal system , Why so much hurry ?

There are more serious legal issues needed to be resolved first and these may be done in phased manner.

Hi,

No official word or update so far.

Either the results will be published today or I guess it must be some sort of internal miscommunication and they will be published in due course therafter.

It could be that the BCI ran into last-minute technical difficulties, needed to re-check some invalid papers manually (remember Florida Gore v Bush?) or could have been a host of other reasons.

Hard to tell - we'll keep trying to get through and to get an update but right now I don't know any more than anyone else here, sorry...

Best regards

The All India Bar Examination (AIBE) results will be declared on March 19, 2011 through a press conference.

Speaking to Bar & Bench the Convenor of the AIBE, Gopal Sankaranarayanan said, “The AIBE results will be declared on March 19th through a press conference between 12 noon to 3:00pm”.

Talking on the Chennai Bar exam, Gopal said, “The ranking will be subject to Chennai results”.

The AIBE finally took place on March 6, 2011 with a 96 percent attendee, with the exception of Chennai’s three centers which saw violent protests from candidates. The Chennai exam is now being held on March 27, 2011.

From the very outset of the AIBE, it is very evident that GS is using the AIBE as a stepping stool towards some political office (unsure as to what and when). This was further added to by his appearance and supposed "Thank You's" to everyone in certain New Delhi centers.

Thus, the results being declared without any press conference by GS is highly unlikely. The press conference would just be used as a tool to gloat for his actions and to hide the inactions by the BCI which is evidenced by the haphazard manner in which the BCI introduced and conducted the AIBE for the 2009-2010 batch and what proceeded in conjunction with the same such as the delay in exams, admit cards, material etc.

In light of the same, the suggestion is to just stay calm and patient. Wait and watch for all press conferences that GS would be in. Thereafter consider the results being declared. It all depends on GS's availability.

# 75 brother I understand your plight..instead of going after law students BCI should go after all these law colleges who are just colleges for the heck of it! There should be uniformity in legal educations..all colleges should have uniform syllabus..the problem is not the students but the variation in course structures in law throughout the country...dont know how people say ILS is a good college!

I asked you if you were from ILS because my friends from ILS tell me the same thing..5 years of vacation in ILS..its a hopeless college....just a farce that it is a good college...no faculty, no resources...apparently they have one lady teacher who teaches all the subjects for which the college cannot manage a faculty..

BCI should check colleges to root out the evil.
They are granting affiliation to all colleges and then trying to put caps on students ~ Are not they playing double standard ?

Give them time to publish result after much precaution unless it may be a major concern for students.

So Plz keep your mind cool.

I really can't be any more certain than any of you.

I would assume that the conference is taking place, since the BCI told a large number of journalists about it and I did not receive a cancellation.

From experience, I would assume that they will talk about how the exam was a success, they will probably announce how many per cent passed and maybe what will happen to those who failed.

Chennai will briefly be mentioned.

Mr Subramanium will probably talk about his plans for future reforms for the country, and then there'll be a Q&A for 15 minutes or so.

I assume that a printed press-release and materials will also get handed out.

And that will probably be it.

I can't be sure that the individual grades would be available for download after the PC - it would be logical to assume they would be - but maybe there will be some technical difficulties and it will take longer.

Best regards
