NLU Delhi provides admission to its BA LLB and LLM programme based on the AILET 2026 scores. However, all other NLUs in the country accept CLAT scores for providing admission to their courses. Candidates can sit for both the entrance exams to expand their scope of admission.
Candidates will be able to contact the AILET exam authority through the phone. The contact number is 011-40787555. There is no official email to connect with the exam authority on the AILET exam website. Thus, candidates need to use this phone number only for the exam-related queries.
Things to keep in mind while selecting a college accepting AILET 2026 scores
The most important decision while taking admission to the colleges is to select the right institute for studying the subjects based on which your career will succeed. Since the AILET 2026 scores are accepted by just one NLU in India, that is, the National Law University of Delhi, candidates have no other choice but to choose a different NLU. However, the candidates can expand their scope of admission to the NLUs in India by also sitting in another Law entrance exam, that is, CLAT 2026. CLAT scores are accepted by all the other NLUs in India.
The AILET scores are accepted by some other private Law colleges as listed above. Candidates should keep in mind the career goals, ranking and reputation, courses offered, infrastructure, facilities, location, placement, and other factors while targeting the college for admission.
