    AILET 2026 Seat Allotment

    In the All India Law Entrance Test admission system, paying the provisional admission fees is the way to confirm a seat. By depositing the Rs 50,000 provisional admission fee between February 4 and February 10, 2026, candidates lock their seat for the 2026 academic year. After this initial deposit, candidates must pay the remaining balance of the university fees by April 30, 2026, to finalise their enrollment. Failure to pay the balance on time will result in the automatic cancellation of the seat, regardless of any earlier payments. These vacant spots are then offered to the next eligible candidates in the fourth merit list on May 5, 2026 or during the spot round.
