AILET 2022 Student Reactions and Paper Analysis 

The candidates who took AILET 2022 at Delhi test centre shared the question paper analysis as under:

After taking AILET 2022, Nanda Kumar shared that the question paper was moderate, as compared to CLAT 2022 question paper, which was entirely based on passages. He added that paper was lengthy as English section had more passages, which was unexpected. I am expecting good score in AILET 2022, as for me it was easy to moderate, and I'm confident to secure a seat in NLU Delhi. I have been preparing for CLAT 2022 and AILET 2022 for the past two years, so I was prepared well for the exams. 

Divyash Tyagi, who also took AILET 2022 at the same test centre, shared insights that the question paper was lengthy, and for him time was not sufficient. The question paper was pretty similar to CLAT 2022, as English section had a lot of passages, which was unxpected for us since we prepared on the basis of AILET past years papers. The logical section section was almost like CLAT 2022 as it had passage, which is not common for the NLU Delhi entrance exam. He added that Current Affairs like all the papers was difficult. The question paper was not as expected, as there were reading skills involved for all the sections, which are usually one-liners/objective.

Another test-taker, Priya Sharma shared that the exam was easy but lengthy. She added that logical reasoning and English sections was too much time-taking. 

Suhani Bansal shared the exam moderate, as English section was hard as it had passages that were difficult to attempt. Logical Reasoning section was easy comparatively. Whereas, the GK and Current Affairs section was tough. I am expecting a 90+ cut off for AILET 2022. 

Jatin Singh, who have already secured a seat at RMNLU Lucknow (in the provisional seat allotment), gave AILET exam a second attempt this year. He shared that the question paper was unexpected, as the GK section was based on Venn Diagrams. Whereas, for Reading section, which is generally short/one liners, required us to read a lot before attempting the questions. As compared to last year, the question paper was difficult. I am expecting a low cutoff, since the question paper was more on difficult side of the scale.

Salvi, who also took AILET 2022, shared the question paper was moderate, and time was not sufficient to attempt all the questions. She also added that the formalities like admit card, OMR fillup took 15-20 minutes of the exam duration, which could be avoided to save test-taker time by completing before or after the examination. She also mentioned that compared to CLAT 2022, the question paper was easy, however, cut off cannot be ascertained as of now.
