AILET 2026 Confirmation Fee Deadline Over for Selected Candidates

The deadline for AILET 2026 provisional admission confirmation fee was January 14, 2026. Selected candidates must pay ₹50,000 to secure their NLU Delhi seats.

The National Law University (NLU) Delhi is closely monitoring the admission cycle following the publication of the first provisional merit list. For aspirants who found their names on the roster, the clock is now ticking to complete the final steps of their seat validation. This period is marked by high administrative activity as the university prepares for the transition to subsequent selection lists. With only a few days remaining, the portal continues to process documentation and financial transactions for the undergraduate and postgraduate law programmes.

• The first merit list candidates have been given a specific timeframe to signify their acceptance of the seat offer.
• All relevant activities, including the downloading of offer letters, must be performed through the official AILET 2026 candidate portal.
• Candidates are being urged to verify their roster position and ensure that all personal and academic data is correctly reflected in their dashboards.
• The current phase is crucial because any vacancy created by non-payment will be immediately passed to the next eligible candidate in the second round.
• The university has confirmed that the digital interface for fee payment remains operational 24/7 until the final cutoff hour.

Mandatory Payment and Documentation Schedule

To move from provisional to confirmed admission status, every candidate must adhere to a strict financial timetable. The confirmation fee acts as a binding commitment to the institution, and missing the specified date leads to an irreversible loss of the seat. NLU Delhi has structured the fees such that previous deposits are factored into the final amount, providing a degree of financial clarity to the families of selected students.

• The most significant timetable event is the January 14 deadline, after which the portal will no longer accept confirmation payments.
• A sum of ₹50,000 is required as the admission confirmation fee for all categories of selected candidates.
• In addition to the payment, candidates must upload a signed undertaking and every page of the provisional admission offer letter.
• The university will only generate a final admission receipt once both the document verification and the fee payment are successfully completed.
• Those who fail to meet this requirement will forfeit their seat, and no requests for reconsideration will be entertained by the admission office.

Seat Acceptance Formalities and Next Steps

The process of seat verification is a two-fold task involving the student's confirmation and the university's subsequent validation of the uploaded credentials. Aspirants must ensure that the digital scans of their mark sheets and certificates are legible to avoid any last-minute technical hurdles. The university’s administrative bench is currently working through these submissions to finalize the list of admitted students before the second round begins later this month.

• Every selected candidate is required to sign each page of the offer letter to formally acknowledge the terms of the verification process.
• Candidates must also upload a character certificate issued within the last six months to complete their profile.
• The administrative bench has specified that category certificates (OBC/EWS) must be issued on or after April 1, 2025, to be valid for this session.
• Once the current window closes on January 14, the university will audit the remaining vacancies to prepare the second merit list scheduled for January 21.
• Students who have successfully confirmed their seats will receive a provisional admission slip, which serves as a placeholder until the final balance fee is paid in April.

Conclusion

The first round of the AILET 2026 admission process is rapidly approaching its conclusion. This critical window ensures that the university can maintain its academic schedule and provide opportunities to waiting list candidates in the next selection cycle. By completing these formalities on time, students take the final step in transitioning from applicants to future members of the prestigious legal community at NLU Delhi.
