Hello aspirant,

Getting 43 in CLAT can feel disappointing, but it doesn't define your ability. You still have AILET, and many students improve sharply in their second attempt. For AILET, focus more on English, logical reasoning and GK. In static GK, study important books, monuments, national parks, constitutional facts and major awards. For current affairs, revise the last 6-8 months covering national events, government schemes, appointments, sports and major international news. Make short notes and revise daily. With a clear plan and claim mind, you can perform much better in AILET.

THANK YOU

Good Morning, Candidate,

It entirely depends on the university whether the admission for the BA LLB will be based on the 12th board or the national-level entrance exam, or both. The admission exams are below

1. Common Law Admission Test

2. All India Law Entrance Test

3. Symbiosis Law Admission Test

4. Common University Entrance Test

Thank you. Hope this information helps you.

You can find AILET 2026 mock tests on most major law-entrance preparation platforms, coaching institutes and test-series providers. Many of them offer free sample mocks along with full-length paid test series that follow the latest AILET pattern. You can also check previous years’ question papers, sectional tests and model papers provided by offline coaching centres, bookstores and competitive exam publishers. These resources will help you practice the new pattern, improve speed and understand the difficulty level. Try attempting at least one mock every week and gradually increase frequency as the exam approaches. Consistent practice will strengthen your accuracy and confidence before the final exam. All the best.


Hello aspirant,

AILET PG question is exclusively multiple choice questions or MCQ based . You do not need to write any paragraph based questions. The exam will have 100 MCQs, each worth one mark, covering various branches of law. There is also a negative marking of 0.25 marks for each incorrect answers.

Good luck!

hey, Having a CLAT rank of 21,000 and an SC category rank of approximately 1,000, you may get a good chance by applying to NLUs in which SC category seats remain unfilled. At this rank extend, there are routinely open positions at state NLUs or more current NLUs with reserved seats SC candidates. Focus on appying to NLUs such as NLU Jodhpur, NLU Odisha or NLU Tamil Nadu, which occasionally have vacancies in saved categories. As well, monitor the CLAT guiding entry in terms of opening overhauls and participate in spot rounds properly.
