Iranian Bar Attorney Exam 1405 Confirmed for Second Half of Autumn

The Executive Council of the Union of Iranian Bar Associations (Escoda) held a key meeting on June 18, 2025 (۲۸ خرداد 1405) and reached an important decision regarding the Attorney Bar Exam 1405. After extensive discussions, members agreed the exam will take place in the second half of the autumn season.

The precise scheduling—including the exact date, registration opening, deadline, and result announcement—has been assigned to the National Organization of Educational Testing (Sanjesh). Full details are expected to be released next week.

Why the Second Half of Autumn?

Provincial bar representatives had varying opinions. Some pushed for a December slot due to recent delays and national circumstances. However, weather concerns were decisive. Iran is expected to face the El Niño phenomenon with heavy rains and snow in January and February. Past winter exams caused serious issues in several provinces due to flooding and snow disruptions.

Coordination with Sanjesh’s existing exam calendar (Master’s and PhD exams) was another critical factor. Many favored mid-autumn (especially November) to minimize complications and avoid any perception of irregularity.

Other Key Discussions in the Meeting

• Updating Exam Standards: Calls were made to align question difficulty with current laws, as the current level is sometimes considered overly challenging (even 60% scoring is tough).
• Rewarding Top Performers: A popular proposal suggested exempting the top 50 rankers from training fees to boost motivation.
• Eight provincial bars joined the session online.

Candidates preparing for the 1405 Attorney Exam should continue studying updated materials and stay informed through official Sanjesh announcements and trusted legal news sources. The exam is conducted under the direct supervision of the Union of Bar Associations.

Important Tip: Always rely on official channels for the latest updates, as any changes will be communicated promptly.
