I am trying to connect my ipad pro and macbook air via bluetooth but it shows my macbook is not supported.
What could be the possible solution to this?
PS: Yes software is up-to-date, both devices are discoverable, bluetooth is turned on.
I am getting the pairing message but it shows the device is not supported.
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.2
Actually you can. with Mac's running Monterey you can use airplay to Mac to mirror an iPhone, iPad air iPod touch's screen to a Mac.
While that options does use bluetooth for discovery only, the devices do not need to be paired.
The Airplay to Mac feature requires a Mac running macOS Monterey.

There is no solution. Macs and iOS devices cannot pair over bluetooth. It's never been a supported function, nor is it required.
Most things that use bluetooth do not require they be paired.
What are you trying to accomplish? It almost certainly does not require the iPad and Mac be connected over bluetooth.
What are you hoping to achieve by pairing your iPad and Mac via Bluetooth?
If your intention is to use Cellular Hotspot features of your iPhone, this link is optimally achieved using the native WiFi hotspot connection - this being a largely automated process. Hotspot connections over WiFi offer substantially greater throughput, range and reliability. Similarly, file transfer between devices will be considerably faster and more efficient using high-bandwidth WiFi.

Thank you but what I wanna do is mirror my iPad screen on my mac.
I tried a lot of methods but couldn't do it and I am able to mirror my mac and use Ipad as a second display but not vice versa.
I want to mirror my iPad screen on my mac.
I read a blog and it said Bluetooth connect could help hence I wanted to try this approach.
Now how do I mirror my iPad on my mac?
While you can extend your Mac to your iPad using Sidecar, you can’t natively mirror your iPad/iPhone display to the Mac.
Ipad and macbook are not connecting via bluetooth
