What is AILET Exam?

The All India Law Entrance Test (AILET) is a national-level law entrance exam conducted by National Law University, Delhi (NLU Delhi) for admission to the undergraduate and postgraduate law programmes offered by the university. The AILET exam is conducted offline at the allotted test centres.

Unlike CLAT, which opens admission to multiple law schools, AILET is specific to NLU Delhi, making the competition intense due to limited seats. Apart from NLU Delhi, AILET scores are not accepted by other NLUs.
