B.A. LL.B. (Hons.) eligibility
- Passed Class 12 or an equivalent examination with at least 45% aggregate marks.
- OBC candidates require at least 42% and SC/ST/PwD candidates at least 40%, as stated by NLU Delhi.
- Students appearing for or awaiting their qualifying examination results may apply, but must meet the prescribed qualification cut-off when it is notified.
LL.M. (One Year) eligibility
- Passed an LL.B. or equivalent degree from a recognised university.
- Minimum aggregate marks: 50%; 45% for SC/ST/PwD candidates.
- Final-year or result-awaiting candidates may apply, subject to meeting the qualifying condition by the notified cut-off date.
NLU Delhi states that there is no minimum or maximum age limit for appearing in AILET 2027. Foreign National and OCI/PIO applicants have separate admission provisions; check the relevant category rules before applying.

AILET 2027 Exam Pattern
B.A. LL.B. (Hons.) paper
| Section | Questions | Marks |
|---|---|---|
| English Language | 50 | 50 |
| Current Affairs and General Knowledge | 30 | 30 |
| Logical Reasoning | 70 | 70 |
| Total | 150 | 150 |
The undergraduate paper has 150 multiple-choice questions and a 120-minute duration. NLU Delhi says legal principles may appear within logical reasoning, but candidates are not expected to have prior technical legal knowledge.
LL.M. (One Year) paper
The LL.M. test consists of 100 multiple-choice questions, each carrying one mark. Questions cover different branches of law. The duration is 120 minutes.
Negative marking: In the MCQ sections, 0.25 mark is deducted for each incorrect answer. Four wrong answers therefore reduce the score by one mark.
