AILET 2026 First Provisional Selection List Review and Confirmation Process Continues

On the eve of the highly anticipated release of the first merit list, the National Law University (NLU) Delhi has outlined the rigorous framework for the confirmation process regarding the AILET 2026 admissions. While the official list is scheduled for publication on January 8, the university portal has already begun transitioning to facilitate the heavy traffic expected for the selection list review. This phase is the culmination of the initial counselling registration that concluded in late December.

The university has emphasized that the transition from a provisional candidate to a confirmed student requires strict adherence to the upcoming deadlines. All eyes are now on the official portal, where the NLU Delhi merit standing will determine the future of hundreds of law aspirants.

Steps for Selection List Review and Verification

• Once the portal goes live tomorrow evening, candidates must log in to the official admission website to conduct their selection list review.
• The list will be available in a downloadable PDF format, categorized by rank, application number, and social category.
• It is essential for candidates to verify that their NLU Delhi merit rank matches the data provided in their initial scorecard to ensure there are no technical discrepancies.
• Any candidate appearing in the first round must also check for the "Provisional Admission Offer Letter," which will be generated individually within their portal.

Fee Submission and Confirmation Process Guidelines

• To secure an allotted seat, every student must complete the confirmation process by depositing a sum of ₹50,000.
• This provisional admission fee is mandatory for all categories and must be paid between January 8 and January 14, 2026.
• Failure to remit the provisional admission fee before the 11:00 AM deadline on January 14 will result in the immediate forfeiture of the seat and exclusion from subsequent rounds.
• The university has clarified that this payment is an "acceptance fee" and will be adjusted against the total annual tuition fees during final enrollment.

Conclusion

As the AILET 2026 cycle moves into its most critical week, the focus remains on the accuracy of documentation and the promptness of fee payments. The selection list review is not merely about finding one's name on a PDF but involves a proactive commitment to the confirmation process through the portal. With the provisional admission fee acting as the final bridge to a seat at one of India’s premier law institutions, candidates must ensure their digital payment methods are ready. The NLU Delhi merit list will set the stage for the rest of the academic year, with the university expected to fill a significant portion of its 123 seats in this opening round.
