MANILA, (PIA) — The Supreme Court (SC) announced that the 2024 online Bar examinations will be conducted on September 8, 11, and 15 in 13 local testing centers (LTCs) across the country.
A total of 12,246 law graduates registered for the examinations, however, the number may vary at the start of the exams.
The six LTCs in the National Capital Region are located at the University of the Philippines in Diliman, Quezon City; University of Santo Tomas in Sampaloc, Manila; San Beda University in San Miguel, Manila; Manila Adventist College in Pasay City; University of the Philippines in Bonifacio Global City; and San Beda College in Alabang, Muntinlupa City.
