Conducting the law entrance exam in offline mode increases the chances of spreading the virus as almost all the stakeholders including the aspirants, invigilators and other exam centre authorities will be involved in touching the CLAT papers and other important items.

Many students feel the AILET exam is a bit tougher than CLAT because it has fewer seats and high competition. The AILET syllabus focuses more on reasoning and legal aptitude. Both tests need good preparation, but AILET 2027 usually has a higher cutoff for AILET colleges under NLU Delhi.
