AILET 2025 Topper Interview: Pranjal Tripathi AIR 34

Hi Pranjal, Congratulations on securing AIR 34 in AILET 2025!

Q. What are your thoughts about your performance in AILET 2025? Were you expecting this rank?

I was expecting a good rank in AILET after giving the paper but I was also apprehensive because the AILET provisional answer key had a few errors which were causing a dip in my marks leading to a decrease in my rank, but thankfully, the errors were fixed.

Q. What is your overall and section-wise AILET 2025 score?

I scored 121.25 marks overall(out of 150), scoring 42.5 in English(out of 50), 21.25 in GK(out of 30) and 57.5 in Logical Reasoning(out of 70)

Q. Can you tell us a bit about your background – your native state, family and

education?

I originally hail from UP but have been living in West Bengal since the beginning due to my father’s job. I am a class 12 student of the Humanities stream studying at Don Bosco School in Kolkata and my family includes my mother, my father, and an elder sister.

Q. What made you choose law?

After my class 10 board exams, I was exploring options to see what field i could do a job in the future as science was clearly not my cup of tea, that's when I came across law and I felt this was something that thrilled me and could become my calling. Also, it helped to have an elder sibling do her LLB degree at the time.

Q. Can you tell us what was your preparation strategy for AILET 2025?

The major difference between CLAT and AILET is the extra 30 questions that AILET tests a candidate on. So, I knew that if I am able to increase my speed and comprehension ability, I would gain an advantage over all those candidates who were unable to attempt all the questions. I therefore went about practising many questions of Analytical Reasoning to gain that edge in the exams and also to save time while attempting the questions in the exam. It worked as I was able to attempt all the questions in AILET which increased my margin for error.

Q. Was there any specific daily study timetable you followed to prepare for the exam?

No, there was no fixed timetable that I followed, I had targets that I needed to complete every day and I went about my day with the plan of completing those targets. I took breaks whenever needed and also took time out to complete other activities(mainly school).

Q. What books and resources did you refer to during your preparation?

The classes I undertook at my coaching institute(Dozen) under my teacher Rajneesh Singh sir were a massive help in my preparation. Apart from that, there were no set books/resources that I referred to. I continuously practiced and gave mocks from various different sources as advised by my teachers.

Q. Did you appear for CLAT 2025 as well? If so, what was your rank and score?

Yes, I appeared for CLAT 2025 and secured a rank of 793 with a score of 87.25(out of 120).

Q. Will you be joining NLU Delhi or do you have some other colleges in mind?

There is a very good chance that I will get into NUJS, Kolkata through my CLAT result and hence, I will be deciding between NLU Delhi and NUJS after talking to my family and my teachers.

Q. What are your other interests and hobbies?

I am an avid follower of sports in general and football in particular. My main hobbies, therefore, include playing football with my friends and watching games of my favourite sports club(Liverpool). Other than that, I love reading suspense thriller books whenever I have time.

Q. What would be your message for law aspirants who will be appearing for law entrance exams such as AILET and CLAT in the future?

My main message to future law aspirants would be to take mock tests very seriously and to never compromise on their analysis. They are the single most important resource for an aspirant and prepare them for all kinds of exams. Other than that, it is always important that a person stays patient and calm even when things don’t go their way. Just keep working hard and things will fall into place.

Hello aspirant,

Getting 43 in CLAT can feel disappointing, but it doesn't define your ability. You still have AILET, and many students improve sharply in their second attempt. For AILET, focus more on English, logical reasoning and GK. In static GK, study important books, monuments, national parks, constitutional facts and major awards. For current affairs, revise the last 6-8 months covering national events, government schemes, appointments, sports and major international news. Make short notes and revise daily. With a clear plan and claim mind, you can perform much better in AILET.

THANK YOU

Good Morning, Candidate,

It entirely depends on the university whether the admission for the BA LLB will be based on the 12th board or the national-level entrance exam, or both. The admission exams are below

1. Common Law Admission Test

2. All India Law Entrance Test

3. Symbiosis Law Admission Test

4. Common University Entrance Test

Thank you. Hope this information helps you.

You can find AILET 2026 mock tests on most major law-entrance preparation platforms, coaching institutes and test-series providers. Many of them offer free sample mocks along with full-length paid test series that follow the latest AILET pattern. You can also check previous years’ question papers, sectional tests and model papers provided by offline coaching centres, bookstores and competitive exam publishers. These resources will help you practice the new pattern, improve speed and understand the difficulty level. Try attempting at least one mock every week and gradually increase frequency as the exam approaches. Consistent practice will strengthen your accuracy and confidence before the final exam. All the best.


Hello aspirant,

AILET PG question is exclusively multiple choice questions or MCQ based . You do not need to write any paragraph based questions. The exam will have 100 MCQs, each worth one mark, covering various branches of law. There is also a negative marking of 0.25 marks for each incorrect answers.

Good luck!

hey, Having a CLAT rank of 21,000 and an SC category rank of approximately 1,000, you may get a good chance by applying to NLUs in which SC category seats remain unfilled. At this rank extend, there are routinely open positions at state NLUs or more current NLUs with reserved seats SC candidates. Focus on appying to NLUs such as NLU Jodhpur, NLU Odisha or NLU Tamil Nadu, which occasionally have vacancies in saved categories. As well, monitor the CLAT guiding entry in terms of opening overhauls and participate in spot rounds properly.
