Shiksha Experts share section-wise exam analysis for AILET 2017. Aspirants can also view expected cut-offs for AILET 2017 here.

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.

AILET 2017: Section-wise Analysis by Experts

Section	No. of Questions	Analysis and Content
English	35	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.
General Knowledge	35	Difficulty level: HIGH At least 15 questions in this section were extremely difficult. A couple of questions in this section questions were ambiguous, and the answers can be disputed.
Mathematics	10	Difficulty level: EASY-MODERATE No major surprises in this section. As expected, most of the questions were from Arithmetic.
Legal Aptitude	35	Difficulty level: HIGH With 19 questions on static legal knowledge, this section was difficult. Most of the questions were extremely tough and tested very fine details.
Reasoning	35	Difficulty level: MODERATE-HIGH Definitely tougher than expected. Some questions can be classified as CAT level.

As is our philosophy, edmyt faculty have also taken AILET 2017 and we are predicting that cut-offs for AILET 2017 are expected to be much lower than last year’s.
