AILET 2017 Exam Analysis by Experts
AILET 2017 Exam Analysis by Shiksha Experts
NLU-Delhi has not joined the ranks of the National Law Universities (NLUs) that accept CLAT as an admissions test, and continues to conduct the AILET for 80 plus seats for its flagship BA LLB program. AILET 2017 held major surprises for the 17,000 plus aspirants who took the exam this year. NLU Delhi has also seen a steady increase in the number of test takers in the last three years, indicating a growing preference for the university.
In the last three years, the level of difficulty in AILET was relatively moderate to difficult. This year, however, AILET 2017 has come as a whopper to students, and is the toughest in the last four years. AILET awards one point for each correct answer, and has no negative marking. The absence of negative marking of AILET is considered an advantage, but this year the extremely difficult exam coupled with ambiguous questions meant that students spent way too much time in understanding and attempting questions, and were not left with much time for smart guesses.

Difficulty level: HIGH The biggest surprise was the absence of Reading Comprehension questions. Students have come to expect 7-8 such questions on the AILET. A major challenge in this section for students was that many question types took a lot of time to simply understand the instructions. Vocabulary questions were on the easier side. |

You need to appear for and qualify in the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT), which is the primary entrance exam for most NLUs; ensure you meet the eligibility criteria of a completed bachelor's degree, then apply to your preferred NLU based on your CLAT score during the counselling process.
