Candidates should prepare for AILET 2027 by dividing their time across the three UG sections as per the weightage. Logical reasoning carries 70 marks, so it should receive a larger share of preparation time. Candidates can cover English, current affairs, and GK through regular practice and revision. For the GK section, regular newspaper reading and monthly current affairs revision will be useful.
Candidates should solve previous-year AILET question papers and mock tests to understand the question pattern. Since the exam has negative marking, candidates should also focus on accuracy rather than attempting questions randomly. AILET LLM aspirants, meanwhile, should revise the core law subjects, important case laws and recent legal developments covered in the AILET PG syllabus.
