As per the previous year's AILET analysis, the exam was lengthy. A difficulty level in the exam will result in AILET cut-off going lower. As per the AILET marks vs rank analysis, a score of 75 to 80 marks will be a good score in AILET 2026. However, to improve the chances of securing admission to NLU Delhi, one must target a high score and try to achieve that.
With a score of 90, a candidate can expect to easily get admission into NLU Delhi. The AILET cut offs have hovered in the 80s as per the average cut off for previous years. A score of 70 may be enough for SC, ST, EWS and OBC categories. However, a general category candidate might not be able to clear the AILET cut off. Considering that the cut-off has ranged between 71 to 100 in the last three years, students should try to achieve 100 marks to increase their chances of getting admission. The AILET category-wise expected cut-offs are as mentioned below.
NLU Delhi prepares a shortlist of invitees of candidates who are called for the AILET counselling process. The number of candidates invited for counselling is three times the number of seats. The university will notify the candidates at their registered email and through SMS. Candidates can also check the counselling invite through their login.

At this rank extend, there are routinely open positions at state NLUs or more current NLUs with reserved seats SC candidates.
