Factors affecting AILET 2025 Cut off

Before looking at the previous years' cutoffs, let us check the various factors that affect the AILET cut off every year:

Difficulty level of the question paper: Tough question paper may lead to lower cut off and an easy or moderate question paper may result in higher cut-off
Number of candidates appeared for the exam: More the candidates in AILET exam, the higher is the cutoff for the exam
Average performance of candidates in the exam: The better the candidates perform in AILET, the more is the cut off for the exam and vice-versa
Total seats for the BA LLB/LLM course: NLU Delhi has limited seats for BA LLB and LLM courses, therefore, the cut off is usually high
Category of candidates: The cutoff for candidates belonging to reserved categories such as SC, ST, PwD and KM is typically lower as compared to the cutoff for General/Open category candidates

Commonly asked questions

Q: What has been the difficulty level of AILET exam for last five years?

The difficulty level of AILET exam can be considered moderate to difficult. The exam is designed to test the candidates' knowledge and understanding of various subjects of law and general knowledge. The level of difficulty may vary from year to year, and it largely depends on the preparation and understanding of the candidates. However, candidates who are well-prepared, have a strong understanding of the subjects, and have practiced enough questions are likely to find the exam easier to crack. To prepare for the exam, candidates should focus on understanding the concepts and fundamentals of each subject, solving practice questions and previous year papers, and managing their time effectively during the exam. It is also important to stay calm and composed during the exam and avoid getting stuck on difficult questions, as it may affect your overall performance.

Upvote

Q: Is AILET cutoff for all categories the same?

No, AILET Entrance Exam cutoff is released separately for the various categories. For instance, the cut-off is available for categories like Open, OBC-NCL, SC, ST, and PH categories. Note that open category candidates will not be considered for admission under reserved category seats. However, candidates belonging to reserved category will be considered for admission under both open and the reserved category they belong to. To be considered for admission under reserved category, the candidate must furnish the required category certificates. However, any candidate who is found using counterfeit documents can be disqualified at any stage of the admission process.

AILET: Qualifying Cut Off vs Admission Cut Off 2025

In the AILET Exam 2025, there are two types of AILET Cutoff Marks. NLU Delhi will create the qualifying cut-off and admission cut-off similar to each other. Candidates can check the difference between the two cut-offs below:

Qualifying Cutoff 2025	Admission Cutoff
Achieving the qualifying cut-off marks is not enough to guarantee admission.	Scoring the required marks as per the admission cut-off can secure your admission.
The university releases the cut-off prior to the exam.	The admission cut-off for the NLU will be announced at the time of the counselling process.
Candidates who do not achieve a rank above the cut-off will not be included in the merit list.	Those who do not score marks as per the admission cut-off may get admission in the mop-up round (if seats are available)

What After AILET 2025 Cut-off Release?

The merit list will be published shortly after the cut-off is announced. You will be invited to AILET counselling only if you score above the cut-off marks. The counselling process begins after the result declaration and is the final step for admission following AILET clearance. It is conducted online, allowing candidates to participate remotely.

Only those who have qualified in the AILET are eligible for counselling. Candidates must attend the counselling session on time and present the necessary documents for verification. Essential documents required for the counselling include your 10th and 12th mark sheets and certificates, AILET scorecard, admit card, admission letter, caste certificate, transfer certificate, demand draft, passport-size photographs, and more.
