Questions related to AILET

On Question asked by student community

Have a question related to AILET ?

Hello aspirant,

With 90 marks in SC Category, your chances for securing an admission to NLU Delhi through AILET 2026 are high. AILET is a 150-mark exam, therefore 90 marks are considered a topper-level.

NLU Delhi reserves a 15% of its seats for SC Candidate. Since AILET is very unpredictable and therefore if the exam is hard the cutoff can drop to 60-65 but is the paper is easy it might even reach 80, and possibly you stand above it. However 90 marks must be your net score including negative marking.

I hope the information was useful.

Thankyou.

The predicted cut-off for the PwD General category in AILET 2026 is expected to vary depending on the overall difficulty of the exam and the number of applicants. According to the trends analyzed on Careers360, the cut-off for the PwD category generally remains significantly lower than the general merit category, typically ranging between 45 to 60 marks out of 150. However, for a top-tier institution like NLU Delhi, the competition for these reserved seats still requires a competitive score to secure a place in the initial merit lists. Since the 2026 cut-off will only be finalized after the exam results are declared, students are advised to look at the previous years' closing ranks to gauge their required performance level.

Hello Himanshi,

In order to secure admission to NLU Delhi through AILET, an All India Rank(AIR) is the primary metric used, however it also depends on the category you are applying under. Every candidate is assigned an AIR to fill seats according to the reservation matrix.

For General candidate: an AIR is the only thing that matters as there are only about 50 seats, excluding the PwD seats. An air of top 60-70 is required to secure a seat.

For Reserved Category candidates (OBC, SC, ST, EWS): In NLU Delhi, your category rank is considered to determine your position within the specific pool, bit this rank is derived from AIR list. You are first considered for a General seat, if your rank is not high enough then you are specified a seat within your own category.

I hope the information helps you.

Thankyou.




Hello,

With 85 marks in AILET 2026, it is very unlikely to get NLU Delhi for the General category. The expected cut-off for General is usually higher, often above 90 marks.

If you belong to a reserved category (OBC, EWS, SC, ST), your chances are slightly better, but for General, 85 marks may not be enough.

Your best option is to also consider other NLUs where the cut-off is lower.

Hope it helps !

Hello,

NO, 101.75 marks is not enough to place an admission in NLU Delhi.

For BA LLB (Hons), NLU Delhi uses the cutoff of 122 marks (expected) along with the eligibility expected with 12 board passed out with a minimum of 45% for AILET Cutoff 2026.

These predicted cutoffs might change. Based on the candidate's participation, allotment, and the seats provided.

Admission to NLU is based on the merit lists from the obtained AILET scores with the counselling process involved.

If you have further queries, kindly check the official portal from time to time.

Hope it helps with your query. Good luck.
