AILET 2026 registration extended to 13 Nov; correction & fee-payment window closes 14 Nov

The registration window for the All India Law Entrance Test (AILET 2026), conducted by the National Law University (NLU), Delhi, was extended until November 13, 2025. Today, November 14, 2025, marks the final deadline for fee payment and application form correction. Aspirants who completed their registration must ensure they pay the application fee and rectify any errors in their form before the window closes at 11:59 PM. The exam is scheduled for December 14, 2025. This is the ultimate opportunity to secure your candidacy for one of India's most prestigious law entrance exams.

The final crucial deadlines for the AILET 2026 examination—the gateway to the highly coveted B.A.LL.B. (Hons.), LL.M., and Ph.D. programs at National Law University (NLU), Delhi—have arrived. In a major announcement, the registration deadline was extended to November 13, 2025, offering a final lifeline to prospective candidates who missed the initial closing date. However, the last day for two other equally critical processes is today, November 14, 2025: completing the application fee payment and utilizing the form correction window.

​This extension, while providing some relief, underscores the need for aspirants to be extremely vigilant. Failure to pay the application fee or correct mandatory errors today will render the application incomplete and disqualify the candidate from appearing for the AILET 2026 exam, scheduled for December 14, 2025. Aspirants must immediately log on to the official website, nationallawuniversitydelhi.in, to ensure their candidacy is fully secured.

​ The Final Cut: Registration, Fee Payment, and Correction Window

​The processes of registration, fee payment, and form correction are the final administrative steps before the focus shifts entirely to preparing for the exam itself. NLU Delhi has been strict with its deadlines, making today's closing of the financial and correction windows non-negotiable.

• ​Registration Deadline Passed (November 13):
  • ​The final deadline for new candidates to register for AILET 2026 closed yesterday. Only those who completed the initial sign-up and Part 1 of the application by the extended deadline are now eligible to complete the remaining steps.
• ​Application Fee Payment Closure (Today):
  • ​The last date to pay the application fee is November 14, 2025 (11:59 PM). The required fees are: 
    • ​General/OBC/Foreign Nationals: ₹3,500/-
    • ​SC/ST/Persons with Disabilities (PwD): ₹1,500/- (Note: SC/ST candidates below the poverty line (BPL) are exempt from the fee).
  • ​An application is considered officially submitted only after the fee payment is successfully processed.
• ​Form Correction Window Closure (Today):
  • ​The opportunity to edit the AILET 2026 application form also closes on November 14, 2025. Candidates must utilize this window to rectify any errors in:

    • ​Category selection (crucial for reservation benefits).
    • ​Test centre preferences (to ensure allotment in a preferred city).

​ Implications for Aspirants: AILET 2026 Exam Details

​The successful completion of the application process is the precursor to the examination phase. Candidates must now pivot their entire strategy towards the final month of preparation for this highly competitive national-level law test.

• ​Final Exam Date Confirmed:
  • ​The AILET 2026 exam is firmly scheduled for Sunday, December 14, 2025, from 2 PM to 4 PM. This date was revised from an earlier slot to avoid a clash with the CLAT examination, providing a clear preparation path.

Aspirants should dedicate their final month to rigorous practice in these sections, with a special focus on recent legal and political developments.

​ Eligibility Essentials: Ensuring Your Candidacy is Valid

• ​B.A.LL.B. (Hons.) Eligibility:
