AILET Exam Pattern
There is a different exam pattern for each of the AILET papers. Here is the pattern mentioned below:
- The examination will be conducted in an offline mode
- The question paper is set in the English medium
- Candidates are allotted 1 hour and 30 minutes to solve the question paper
- There will be multiple-choice questions asked in the paper. The LLM exam tests the candidates on 100 MCQs and 2 descriptive-type questions in section 2 of the examination.
- There are a total of 150 marks in the BA LLB examination
- Each question will carry 1 mark, and 0.25 marks will be deducted for each wrong answer
- The Ph.D. entrance test in NLU is different from the UG and the PG courses. It will have 2 sections - where the first level is an objective test based on the legal aptitude section and research methodology. The entrance test qualifies the candidates, and one needs to clear the minimum AILET cut-off marks post which the candidate has to submit their research proposal on any desired topic.
There are a few changes in the AICLT exam pattern this year.
- There will be three sections in the BA LLB exam. There will be no legal aptitude test section anymore as it has been scratched by the conducting body.
- The BA LLB logical reasoning section will have 50% more weightage. It will include legal questions which can be attempted without any prior knowledge of law.
- If there are two candidates with the same rank, then the tiebreaker will be done through the marks obtained in the logical reasoning section. The older age will then get preference or there will be a computerised draw of the lot.
- There are 24 test centres presently, with Vishakhapatnam and Dehradun added to the list.
