What is AILET?

All India Law Entrance Test (AILET) is conducted by National Law University, Delhi (NLU Delhi) for admission to undergraduate (UG), postgraduate (PG) and doctorate (PhD) level law courses. This is a national-level entrance exam conducted for admission to law programmes at NLU Delhi only. The exam will be held in a pen-paper-based mode from 11:00 am to 1.00 pm. 

Note: No other entrance exam is accepted for NLU Delhi admissions. CLAT 2025 score is also not acceptable for admission to NLU Delhi.

Q:   Which one is better: CLAT or AILET?

A:

AILET and CLAT both are the two most sought-after law entrance exams of the country. AILET stands for All India Law Entrance Test and CLAT stands for Common Law Admission Test. While both tests serve the law aspirants, there are a few factors that make them different from each other. I think CLAT is way ahead in comparison to AILET. CLAT offers admission to 22 National Universities that participate in this test. On the other hand, AILET has just one participating institute, and that is the National Law University (NLU), Delhi. On the basis of level of competition, in CLAT, more than 50,000 students appear for nearly 4000 seats in all the national law  universities under it. This means that the success rate in CLAT revolves around 6%. On the other hand, AILET has 110 seats under it (for all the courses combined), and more than 20,000 students appear for this test. Which means the success rate is around 0.006%. This clearly indicates that the level of competition is huge for AILET. So, if you are appearing for both the exams, you are 1000 times more likely to get a seat under CLAT when compared to AILET.

Thumbs Up IconUpvote Thumbs Down Icon

Q:   Is AILET tougher than CLAT?

A:
Yes, the difficulty level of AILET is usually higher than CLAT as the competition is five times more for the limited seats of B.A. LL.B. And LL. M. courses available at NLU Delhi. Moreover, the exam pattern of AILET is also different than CLAT exam pattern. The cutoff marks are also higher for AILET conducted by NLU Delhi. CLAT cutoff marks vary every year but are moderate as there are 23 participating National Law Universities. Therefore, candidates can assume that AILET is tougher than CLAT exam.
Thumbs Up IconUpvote Thumbs Down Icon

Q:   What are the difference between CLAT and AILET?

A:

The key differences between CLAT and AILET are the following:

Colleges Accepting Scores:

  • CLAT: Accepted by 22 National Law Universities (NLUs) and 65 other participating institutions across India for undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) law programmes.
  • AILET: Only accepted by National Law University Delhi (NLU Delhi) for its UG and PG law programs. NLU Meghalaya conducts its own separate entrance exam.

Exam Pattern and Syllabus:

CLAT:

  • 5 sections: Legal reasoning, Logical reasoning, Quantitative techniques, English language comprehension, and Current affairs with General Knowledge.
  • Objective type Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) for both UG and PG exams.

AILET:

  • 3 sections: Legal reasoning, Legal aptitude, and English language.
  • Objective type MCQs for the UG exam, while the PG exam has both MCQs and descriptive questions.
  • No Quantitative techniques section unlike CLAT.
  • General Knowledge (GK) questions are asked in statement-based format compared to the passage-based format in CLAT.

Difficulty Level:

  • CLAT: Generally considered slightly easier due to a more predictable pattern and syllabus.
  • AILET: Often perceived as more challenging due to its unpredictable nature and the inclusion of descriptive questions in the PG exam.

Other Factors:

  • Exam Dates: CLAT and AILET are typically conducted on separate dates, usually in May and June respectively.
  • Application Process: Both exams have separate application processes through their respective websites.

Q:   What is the difficulty level of AILET Exam?

A:

Q:   Does the difficulty level of AILET increases every year?

A:

AILET used to be a very tough entrance exam before 2023 due to its short duration of 90 minutes. However, NLU Delhi increased the duration of the exam from 90 minutes to 120 minutes for the AILET 2024 exam. The extended duration made it slightly easier for candidates to solve 150 questions in 120 minutes for the AILET UG exam. As a result, the AILET difficulty level has decreased over time with the increase in exam duration.

NLU Delhi also removed the descriptive section from the AILET LLM exam in 2023. Now, only objective questions are included in the AILET PG or LLM exam. The removal of the descriptive section has further reduced the difficulty level of the AILET PG exam over time.
