Is AILET tougher than CLAT?
Yes, AILET is usually harder than CLAT because there is five times greater competition for the few places in B.A., LL.B., and LL.M. degrees at NLU Delhi. Furthermore, AILET's exam pattern differs from CLAT's. AILET, which is conducted by NLU Delhi, too has higher cutoff scores. CLAT cutoff marks vary from year to year, although they are moderate given the 23 participating National Law Universities. As a result, candidates might infer that AILET is more difficult than the CLAT exam.
