AILET 2026 (UG) will be conducted on 14 December 2025 for admission to NLU Delhi. With just one law school, limited seats, and a paper that prioritises accuracy over attempts, the final 24 hours before AILET are decisive.
At this stage, preparation is no longer about learning. It is about execution discipline.

Calm mindset locked
AILET is not about how hard you studied in the last year.
It is about how calmly you think for two hours. Read cleanly. Skip decisively. Attempt confidently. NLTI focuses on accuracy-first preparation for AILET, with emphasis on GK consolidation, legal static coverage, and exam-day execution discipline. Their approach prioritises controlled attempts, clarity under pressure, and structured revision to prevent last-minute overload. That is how NLU Delhi is secured.
1. What is the ideal number of attempts in AILET 2026?
There is no fixed “safe attempt” number for AILET 2026. A score based on high accuracy with controlled attempts performs better than aggressive guessing. Students should focus on clean attempts, especially in English and Legal Reasoning.
2. Does AILET 2026 include Maths or Quantitative Techniques?
No. AILET UG does not have Mathematics or Quantitative Techniques. The paper consists only of English, Legal Reasoning, Logical Reasoning, and General Knowledge & Current Affairs.
3. Is static GK important for AILET 2026?
Yes. AILET places strong emphasis on static GK, including constitutional bodies, international organisations, treaties, and institutional knowledge. Current affairs alone are not sufficient.
4. How much negative marking is there in AILET?
AILET follows negative marking, which makes blind guessing risky. Each incorrect answer reduces your score, so accuracy is more important than total attempts.
5. Can I clear AILET with only current affairs preparation?
No. AILET GK requires a balanced mix of static and current knowledge. Students who rely only on news-based preparation usually struggle with direct factual questions.
6. Which section carries the highest scoring potential in AILET?
English and Legal Reasoning offer the highest scoring stability when attempted calmly and accurately. GK and Logical Reasoning should be attempted selectively.
7. How should I revise GK in the last 24 hours before AILET?
Revise one-liners, factual lists, and static concepts only. Avoid long articles, deep editorials, or new topics on the final day.
8. Is attempting all questions necessary to get into NLU Delhi?
No. AILET selections are based on precision, not volume. Many successful candidates leave questions unanswered to protect accuracy and avoid negative marking.
