AILET PG 2027 Eligibility Criteria

Before you register, it's important to make sure you meet the AILET PG 2027 eligibility criteria. Candidates must meet the following conditions to be eligible:  

  • Educational Qualification: You must hold an LLB degree (3-year or 5-year integrated) or an equivalent law degree from a university recognised by the Bar Council of India / UGC.
  • Minimum Qualifying Marks: General category candidates need at least 50% aggregate marks in their LLB; SC, ST, and PwD category candidates need at least 45% aggregate marks.
  • Final year candidates: you can apply provisionally if you're in your final year or final semester of your LLB. You will of course have to submit your final consolidated mark sheet or your provisional degree certificate (meeting the requisite percentage) by the NLU Delhi admission cut-off date.
  • Compartment/Backlog Cases: Candidates who have a compartment or backlog in any subject in their qualifying LLB examination are not eligible for admission in that admission year, even if they clear the AILET PG exam itself.
  • Foreign Nationals / OCI / PIO: these candidates are completely exempt from having to write the entrance exam. They are admitted on the basis of their academic record and generally an assessment of their English language ability. They are admitted directly on merit and not via the AILET PG merit list.

AILET PG Exam Pattern 2027

According to the AILET PG 2027 exam pattern, the paper consists of 100 objective-type (MCQ) questions to be solved in 120 minutes. 0.25 marks are deducted for every incorrect answer.  

Here are the most important exam pattern highlights that you should know:  

  • Objective Type Questions Only: AILET PG 2027 exclusively features MCQs across a wide range of legal subjects. There are no subjective/descriptive answer components. 
  • Reduced Question Count: Total questions have been reduced from 150 to 100 for AILET PG, increasing the value of each individual question to your final percentile. 
  • Comprehensive Syllabus Coverage: The paper thoroughly assesses candidates' legal acumen across multiple specialisations rather than testing depth in just one or two subjects.  
  • Structured Duration: Candidates get 120 minutes to complete the exam. At 100 questions, that makes roughly 72 seconds per question on average. 
  • Resolution of Ties: Preference goes to the older candidate first; persistent ties are resolved via a computerised draw.  

AILET PG 2027 Marking Scheme

The AILET PG 2027 marking scheme is 1 mark for each correct answer and 0.25 marks are deducted for each incorrect answer. There is no penalty for unanswered questions.

As per the official NLU Delhi examination guidelines, the AILET PG 2027 will comprise 100 MCQs across various branches of law and the duration of the examination will be 120 minutes.

Is There Negative Marking in AILET PG 2027?

Yes, AILET PG 2027 has negative marking of 0.25 marks for each incorrect answer. This means four incorrect answers result in a deduction of one mark.

Candidates should maintain a balance between the number of questions attempted and accuracy. Regular mock tests and previous year question paper practice can help improve both speed and precision.

As a practical examination strategy, candidates should attempt questions they can answer confidently before spending time on uncertain questions.

AILET PG 2027 Exam Analysis

AILET PG 2027 will be held on 13th December 2026 from 2 pm to 4.00 pm. It will be a 100 question paper (1 mark each) with 0.25 marks as negative marking for every wrong answer.

How to Prepare for AILET PG 2027? 

If you are preparing for AILET PG exam, you have to follow well structured AILET PG preparation plan. You can check some of the tips below.   

Understand the Exam Pattern and Syllabus

First make yourself familiar with the exam pattern and the detailed syllabus before opening any book, and find out which of the eight main subjects you are already good at and which will need to be developed mostly from scratch.  

Build a Study Plan

Prepare a detailed AILET PG study plan by dividing your study time among the subjects in approximately the same ratio as their weightage and taking into account your current weak areas. It is better to stick to steady daily study routines than to have long and irregular cramming sessions. Both legal reasoning and the retention of case law benefit more from spaced repetition than from marathon study sessions.  

Prioritise Strategically

Start with the topics that have been most frequently tested and carry the highest weight (as shown in previous AILET PG papers), and then go on to cover the rest of the syllabus in order to fill in any knowledge gaps. This way, even if you are short of time near December, you will have already studied the material that gives the best return on investment.  

Revise Regularly  

From week one, make revising an ongoing element of your plan rather than starting to do it only in the last month. Short, regular review sessions (that is, weekly summaries of what you have studied that week) perform measurably better than attempting to go over the entire subject once at the end.  

Practice Previous Year Question Papers

Solve AILET PG previous year papers under timed conditions, not just to check your knowledge but to build the necessary speed. Use these attempts to identify which question types cost you the most time, and drill those specifically.  

Stay Updated with Legal Affairs

Stay informed about the latest legal developments—such as significant court rulings, amendments to major laws, and legal and policy news. Since AILET PG questions often revolve around recent legal developments rather than relying solely on fixed textbook facts, it is advisable to spend 15 to 20 minutes each day on legal news rather than viewing it as a separate and infrequent activity.  

Self-Assess Regularly

Once in every two weeks, take a full-length mock test and regard the error log from each mock test as more important than the score. It is by working out the reason for getting a question wrong that your performance in your next attempt can be improved

AILET PG Previous Year Question Papers PDF

AILET PG previous year question papers help candidates understand the exam pattern, question difficulty, important legal subjects, and the types of questions asked in the entrance examination.

Candidates preparing for AILET PG 2027 should solve previous year papers to evaluate their understanding of Constitutional Law, Jurisprudence, Criminal Law, Contract Law, and other branches of law.

AILET PG 2027 Preparation Books

To make sure your preparation continues in the right direction, it's important that you carefully choose the best AILET PG preparation books.  

Here's a list of the best ones you can use:  

  • Universal's Guide to LL.M. Entrance Examination: Best for candidates starting from scratch. 
  • Singhal's AILET (All India Law Entrance Test) Guide: A strong second resource once you've covered basics. 
  • LexisNexis Guide Series - Constitutional Law: Use this for deep, structured understanding of Constitutional Law specifically, since general guides tend to cover it too thinly. 
  • Contract Law by Avatar Singh: The standard reference for Contract Law's clauses and technicalities. 
  • Jurisprudence and Legal Theory by V.D. Mahajan: Clear, concise, and comprehensive coverage of jurisprudence and legal theory. 
  • The Ultimate Guide to the LL.M. Entrance Examination by M.A. Rashid and Nisa Fasil: A solid foundational resource despite its earlier edition date. 
  • Legal Awareness and Legal Reasoning by A.P. Bhardwaj: Builds legal awareness and reasoning skills.

AILET PG Answer Key 2027

The AILET PG Answer Key 2027 will be released by National Law University Delhi after the examination on 13 December 2026.

You can use the provisional answer key to verify your responses and calculate your expected marks before the results are announced.

NLU Delhi will also provide an opportunity to challenge the provisional answer key according to its official objection guidelines. The final answer key will be released after the review process.

How to Calculate Your AILET PG 2027 Score?

The marking scheme awards one mark for each correct answer and deducts 0.25 marks for each incorrect answer.

AILET PG Score = (Correct Answers × 1) − (Incorrect Answers × 0.25)

For example, if you answer 70 questions correctly and 20 incorrectly, your estimated score will be 65 marks.

You can download the answer key from the official NLU Delhi website once it is released.

AILET PG 2027 Result

Once the exam is conducted, NLU Delhi typically follows a fixed sequence:  

Answer Key Release → Objection Window → Final Answer Key → Result Declaration → Counselling.  

Understanding that sequence in advance will of course help you to plan your post-exam time in a realistic way rather than just expecting a result straight away.  

How to Check Your AILET PG Result 2027? 

You can check the AILET PG result 2027 by following the given simple steps:  

  • Step 1: Visit the official NLU Delhi website  
  • Step 2: Log in using your AILET PG Roll Number or Application Number  
  • Step 3: Your result will be displayed on your individual login dashboard (AILET PG results are not published as a single public rank list, unlike some other entrance exams)  
  • Step 4: Download and print the result for future reference, including for counselling and any future RTI or grievance purposes  

AILET PG Cutoff 2027

The Cutoff for AILET PG shift year to year based on three main factors:  

  • The total number of applicants for that cycle  
  • The relative difficulty of that year's paper (a harder paper generally produces a lower cutoff, since raw scores fall across the board), and  
  • Category-wise seat availability, since reserved-category cutoffs are calculated independently from the general cutoff  

Because these factors vary annually, a single fixed "expected cutoff" number is unreliable to plan around. You can check the category-wise expected cutoff below.

Students Opting for Higher Studies 8 9

Here are the key takeaways:  

  • The AILET PG 2027 exam will be conducted on 13th December 2026, from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM  
  • Registration begins 7th August 2026; the tentative last date to apply is 10th November 2026  
  • To be eligible you must have an LLB with 50 per cent (in the general category) or 45 per cent (in the reserved categories). Before applying, check your percentage calculation again against the official notification.
  • There are 81 seats available, which makes this a genuinely competitive and low-seat exam since it punts on last-minute cramming and instead rewards early and systematic preparation.
  • When preparing for the exam, pay attention to the exam pattern (which consists of 100 multiple-choice questions, a time limit of 120 minutes and a negative marking of 0.25) as well as the eight main subjects included in the syllabus.
  • Pay close attention to document specifications during the application process. Format mismatches are the most common, most avoidable rejection reason.
  • Use recommended books and past papers to structure your study plan around the reduced 100-question format, not older 150-question material.
  • NLU Delhi's official website is the only authoritative source for dates and figures.
