Commonly asked questions
To crack the AILET exam, candidates must target to achieve rank between 50-60, which means score above 75 will help you land at the NLU Delhi. Candidates must go through the AILET exam pattern, syllabus, and previous year questions to prepare for the exam effectively. The previous year questions will help candidates to get an idea about the kind of questions asked in the exam.
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.
You should take regular mock tests and soleve previous years question papers. One mock test each day will help you in revising your concepts apart from building your confidence.
The following books are highly recommended by the experts:
1. Pratiyogita Darpan.
2. GK Today.
3. Manorama Year Book.
4. Pearsons Concise GK.
5. Analytical and Logical Reasoning by RS Aggarwal.
6. Competition Success Review.
7. Wren and Martin.
