Only 2% of bar exam applications faulty or study materials undelivered

Thursday, 3 February 2011 By Legally India Law schools

Only 377 applicants out of 22,267 have not completed their bar exam forms correctly, while only 38 have not received their study materials, according to Bar Council of India (BCI) records released today.

Following yesterday’s BCI announcement that more than 22,000 applicants would be ready to sit the exam on 6 March 2011, the BCI has today released the list of names whose applications that were incomplete for a variety of reasons, including incorrect demand drafts, missing documents or incorrect information.

The BCI had estimated last year that there were between 50,000 and 60,000 law graduates in 2010 who would have to sit the bar exam.

Under the current proposal, graduates would be permitted to practice law if they signed an affidavit to take the bar exam.

Dear Mr. Kian,

Do you have any idea when the next date is in SC? What about the case in supreme court, even though the case is in pending BCI wants to conduct exam it seems supreme court also not showing any interest and not taking care about new law graduates to complete the issue before exam date.

Thanks

How many law students graduate evry year. I read somewhere that the figure is about 98,000 though the BCI estimates it as between 50,000 and 60,000. Isn't it odd that the regulator itself soes not know how many students graduate each year, or is this information considered irrelevant.
