AILET OBC Cut Off 2026 - Expected & Previous Year Cutoff Marks

With a score of 121 marks and an AIR of around 1000 in AILET 2026, getting admission to NLU Delhi for the BA LL.B (Hons.) program is not possible under the general admission process. NLU Delhi admits students strictly based on AILET rank, and the closing ranks are usually within the top 150–200 for the general category, and slightly higher for reserved categories.

However, you may still have a chance only if you belong to a reserved category such as SC, ST, PwD, or EWS, depending on:

• Number of seats available in that category

• Final cut-off ranks released during counselling rounds

For candidates outside these categories, an AIR of 1000 is considered too low for NLU Delhi, as it is the only NLU participating through AILET.

You should also note that:

• AILET scores cannot be used for other NLUs

• Other NLUs accept students only through CLAT

Therefore, with this rank, you should consider:

• Appearing for CLAT for admission to other NLUs

• Exploring top private law universities like Jindal Global Law School, NMIMS, Symbiosis Law School, etc.

A score of 121 marks in AILET 2026 is a good score, but admission to an NLU depends primarily on your All India Rank, not just marks. With an AIR of around 1000, admission to NLU Delhi is highly unlikely under the general category.

NLU Delhi has:

• Very limited seats

• Extremely high competition

• Cut-offs that usually close at much lower ranks

Unless you belong to a reserved category (SC/ST/PwD/EWS) and the category cut-off extends to your rank, admission is not feasible.

If you are aiming for an NLU, your best options are:

• Attempt CLAT for admission to other NLUs

• Consider state law universities or reputed private law colleges as alternatives

In conclusion, while your score shows decent preparation, AILET admission to NLU Delhi at rank 1000 is not possible in most cases, and you should plan alternative law admission pathways accordingly.

Hello,

Yes, scoring 94.75 in AILET 2026 as an ST candidate gives you very strong chances for admission to NLU Delhi, potentially even a high rank, as expected cutoffs for ST are much lower (around 60-70 marks), but your score puts you in a highly competitive bracket.

I hope it will clear your query!!

Hello aspirant ,

With an AILET rank of 16168 and a CLAT rank of 49000 , getting admission in NLUs is not possible.  However, many private law colleges accept students based on CLAT or AILET rank without conducting their own entrance test . Colleges like UPES Dehradun ,AMITY law school . Jindal Global Law School and some state private universities may consider these ranks along with Class 12 marks. You should check college specific admission criteria before applying.

Hello,

If your CLAT score is low but you scored 84 in AILET , you still have good chances at some law colleges, especially those that accept AILET scores or other entrance exams. Here’s a simple breakdown:

1. NALSAR University of Law, Hyderabad – Only accepts CLAT, so low CLAT score may not help here.

2. NLU Delhi – Accepts AILET , so your 84 score gives you a good chance here. Admission is mainly based on AILET rank.

3. Other National Law Universities – Mostly accept CLAT. Low CLAT score may limit options here.

4. Private Law Colleges – Many accept their own exams or AILET, and some also consider merit directly. You can get a good seat here with your AILET score.

5. State Universities & Deemed Universities – Some accept AILET or other scores; you should check their websites.

Focus on NLU Delhi and private law colleges that consider AILET. You can also explore other entrance exams like LSAT India for more options.

Hope it helps !
