Candidates have to meticulously follow all the steps in the counselling process of AILET 2026 to successfully gain admission. Below are the detailed steps in the NLU Delhi counselling process.
Publication of AILET 2026 Counselling Invitee List: After declaring the AILET 2026 result, NLU Delhi will prepare an invitee list of candidates shortlisted for participating in AILET 2026 counselling. The invitee list is prepared based on the candidate’s rank in AILET 2026. The number of candidates shortlisted for the counselling process will be three times the number of seats in each category.

NLU Delhi will also notify the shortlisted candidates on their registered email ID and mobile number.
Registration: Candidates are required to visit the official website - nationallawuniversitydelhi.in and register for the AILET 2026 counselling through their login. The candidates are required to pay the prescribed counselling registration fee and upload the required documents. The AILET 2026 counselling registration fee is Rs. 30,000 for general/J&K candidates and Rs. 20,000 for SC/ST/EWS/OBC candidates. Only those candidates who pay the fees and register for counselling will be considered for seat allotment.

The number of candidates invited for AILET counselling 2026 is three times the number of seats. After the declaration of the AILET 2026 result, NLU Delhi prepares an AILET 2026 invitee list based on the AILET 2026 scores.

Candidates are allotted seats in AILET 2026 counselling as per their ranks obtained in the AILET 2026 exam. However, if two or more candidates have the same score, then the following tiebreaker rule is applied to rank the candidates.
