Commonly asked questions
Q:   How many sections are there in AILET exam?
A: 

There are three sections in the AILET UG exam- English, GK & Current Affairs, and Legal Reasoning. AILET PG exam includes core law subjects.

Q:   Which subject has the maximum weightage in the AILET exam?
A: 

The Logical reasoning section carries the maximum weightage; i.e. 50 per cent in the AILET exam. Reasoning is actually a combination of both verbal logic, as well as analytical reasoning. So, one part is full of numbers and data, while the other is made of words and puzzles. Reasoning needs ample practice. Books by MK Pandey and RS Aggarwal will suffice. For Data Interpretation (DI) questions, the trick lies in forming the table. Once this is done, the rest of the questions flow automatically. Hence, the students are advised to prepare this subject carefully and give special attention.
