AILET: Qualifying Cut Off vs Admission Cut Off 2026

In the AILET Exam 2026, there are two types of AILET Cutoff Marks. NLU Delhi will create the qualifying cut-off and admission cut-off similar to each other. Candidates can check the difference between the two cut-offs below:

Qualifying Cutoff Admission Cutoff
Achieving the qualifying cut-off marks is not enough to guarantee admission. Scoring the required marks as per the admission cut-off can secure your admission.
The university releases the cut-off prior to the exam. The admission cut-off for the NLU will be announced at the time of the counselling process.
Candidates who do not achieve a rank above the cut-off will not be included in the merit list. Those who do not score marks as per the admission cut-off may get admission in the mop-up round (if seats are available)
