AILET 2025 - All India Law Entrance Test for NLU Delhi
The All India Law Entrance Test (AILET) is administered by National Law University, Delhi (NLU Delhi) for admission to its undergraduate (UG), postgraduate (PG), and doctoral (PhD) level law programs. This nationally recognized entrance examination exclusively facilitates admission to NLU Delhi, making it the sole criterion for aspiring law students to gain entry into one of India’s premier law universities.
Important Note: NLU Delhi does not accept CLAT or any other entrance exam scores for admission. AILET is the exclusive test for all law programs at the university.
In case two or more candidates secure the same marks in the AILET 2025, their merit will be determined based on higher marks in the Logical Reasoning section. If the tie persists, preference will be given to the candidate who is senior in age. As a final tiebreaker, a computerized draw of lots will be conducted.
