AILET 2027 Notification
& Exam Date

AILET 2027, conducted by NLU Delhi, is expected to be held on 13 December 2026 (Sunday) from 2:00 to 4:00 PM, in offline pen-and-paper mode. This date is tentative — based on NLU Delhi's consistent second-week-of-December pattern and its one-week gap after CLAT — and is confirmed only in the official AILET 2027 notification, expected in the first week of August 2026.

The official AILET 2027 admission notification is expected in the first week of August 2026 (most sources indicate around 7 August), on the NLU Delhi website, nationallawuniversitydelhi.in. NLU Delhi usually releases a short exam-date notification earlier, around mid-to-late June 2026. The notification PDF confirms the exam date, eligibility, pattern, application process and fee, and officially opens the admission cycle.

AILET 2027 registration is expected to open in the first week of August 2026, around 7 August, on nationallawuniversitydelhi.in, alongside the official notification. The application window stays open until roughly 10 November 2026. Register early rather than near the deadline — last-minute server load and document issues are avoidable, and early registration leaves more time to focus on preparation.

The last date to submit the AILET 2027 application form is expected to be around 10 November 2026, based on previous cycles. NLU Delhi sometimes extends the deadline by a few days, but you should not rely on an extension. The exact last date is confirmed in the official notification — apply well before it to avoid technical or document problems.

Apply online at nationallawuniversitydelhi.in once registration opens in August 2026. Register with your details, log in, select your programme (BA LLB, BCom LLB, LLM or PhD), fill the form, upload your photo, signature and documents, choose preferred test cities, and pay the fee. Review carefully and submit before the deadline (around 10 November 2026), then save a printout of the confirmation.

AILET is conducted solely by National Law University Delhi (NLU Delhi) for admission to its own UG, PG and PhD law programmes. It is completely independent of CLAT and the Consortium of NLUs. Its official website, nationallawuniversitydelhi.in, is the only authoritative source for the AILET notification, application, admit card, result and counselling — always verify dates there rather than on third-party sites.

AILET 2027 is expected to be held from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM on 13 December 2026, in offline pen-and-paper (OMR) mode — not computer-based. The exam runs for 2 hours, during which you answer 150 multiple-choice questions. Your admit card will state the exact reporting time, which is well before the start; candidates are typically asked to report about an hour ahead.

The AILET 2027 admit card is expected to be released in the last week of November 2026, a few days to about two weeks before the exam. You download it by logging into the AILET portal on nationallawuniversitydelhi.in with your registration credentials. The admit card shows your allotted exam centre, reporting time and instructions — carry a printout and a valid photo ID to the centre.

The AILET 2027 result and merit list are expected to be declared in December 2026, within a few weeks of the exam on 13 December 2026. NLU Delhi publishes the result on its admissions portal, followed by counselling and seat allotment for its roughly 110 UG seats. Reserved-category and PG results follow the same cycle. Always check the official portal for the exact result date.

The AILET 2027 application fee is expected to be around ₹3,500 for General/OBC/NRI candidates and about ₹1,500 for SC/ST/PwD candidates (indicative, based on the previous cycle), paid online during the application. Candidates from BPL families in reserved categories may be eligible for a fee waiver. The exact fee is confirmed in the official AILET 2027 notification.

Both are held in December, about a week apart, by design. AILET 2027 is expected on 13 December 2026 and CLAT 2027 on 6 December 2026 — NLU Delhi deliberately schedules AILET after CLAT so aspirants can write both. In fact, for 2026 NLU Delhi revised the AILET date specifically to avoid a clash with CLAT. So you can plan to sit both exams within the same week.

Possibly. AILET dates are confirmed only in the official notification, and NLU Delhi has revised them before — the AILET 2026 date moved from 7 to 14 December 2025 to avoid clashing with CLAT. With CLAT 2027 on 6 December 2026, AILET 2027 on 13 December 2026 fits the usual one-week gap, but any change will be announced on nationallawuniversitydelhi.in. Prepare for 13 December and watch the portal.

AILET is conducted once a year, by NLU Delhi, for that admission cycle — AILET 2027 will be held only once, in December 2026. There is no upper age limit and no cap on the number of years a candidate may attempt AILET, but because it runs annually, each attempt is a full year apart. Droppers reappear the following December.

Yes. NLU Delhi conducts AILET for admission to its 5-year integrated UG programmes (BA LLB and BCom LLB), its LLM (PG) programme, and its PhD admissions. Most aspirants mean the UG exam by 'AILET', but the PG and PhD admissions run on the same notification cycle, with the LLM paper typically on the same exam day. Check the programme-specific details within the official notification.

The official AILET 2027 notification will be published on NLU Delhi's admissions website, nationallawuniversitydelhi.in, as a downloadable PDF. That portal is the only authoritative source for the notification, application form, admit card, answer key, result and counselling. Third-party sites (including this one) provide indicative timelines for planning, but always confirm the final dates and details on the official NLU Delhi portal.

AILET 2027 is conducted across multiple cities in India, with candidates selecting preferred test cities during the application. NLU Delhi notes that if fewer than 100 candidates choose a particular city, no centre is created there and those candidates are allotted their 2nd or 3rd preference. The final list of cities and your allotted centre are confirmed in the notification and on your admit card.

With AILET 2027 expected on 13 December 2026, the number of days remaining depends on today's date — the live countdown on this page shows the current figure. As a guide, an aspirant starting 12–16 months ahead has ample time to build the speed and Logical-Reasoning depth AILET rewards, and to complete a full AILET-specific mock series before the exam.

To apply you typically need a recent passport-size photograph and signature (scanned to the specified format), your Class 10 and Class 12 details (and LLB details for PG), a valid photo ID, and category, income or disability certificates where applicable. Keep these ready before registration opens in August 2026 so the application is quick and error-free. Exact requirements are listed in the official notification.

Yes. AILET 2027 has 150 multiple-choice questions to be answered in 2 hours, with +1 for each correct answer and –0.25 for each wrong answer; unattempted questions score zero. The UG paper has three sections — English Language, Current Affairs & GK, and Logical Reasoning, the largest. This pattern is confirmed in the official notification, but it has been consistent in recent cycles.

Ideally you should already be preparing before the notification — it is released only about four months before the exam (early August for a December exam), which is too late to start from scratch. Use the notification to confirm the pattern and lock your application, then shift fully into timed sectional and full-length AILET mocks. Begin core preparation 12–16 months ahead for the best outcome.

The only authoritative source for AILET 2027 dates is NLU Delhi's admissions portal, nationallawuniversitydelhi.in, where the notification PDF, application form, admit card, result and counselling details are published. Indicative timelines on third-party sites (including this page) help you plan, but always verify the final dates on the official portal. We update this page whenever NLU Delhi announces anything new.
