How to Complete AILET 2027 Registration
For candidates who have not yet submitted the form, the process is as follows:
- Visit the official portal: nationallawuniversitydelhi.in
- Click the AILET 2027 registration link
- Enter basic details: Full name, email ID, and applicant type (Indian or Foreign Nationals/OCI/PIO)
- Register: NLU Delhi will send the username and password to the registered email ID
- Log in using the credentials received
- Complete the application form with all required details
- Upload documents (photograph, signature, academic documents as specified)
- Pay the application fee through online mode
- Submit the form and download the confirmation page
Candidates should complete registration well before 11:59 PM on 13 November. Portal traffic near the deadline may cause access delays.
What Happens After These Deadlines
Admit card: Expected on 30 November 2026. Candidates must download and print it from their login. NLU Delhi does not post admit cards .
Exam day: 13 December 2026, 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Candidates should carry the printed admit card, passport-size photographs, and a black/blue ballpoint pen for the OMR sheet .
Test city note: If fewer than 200 candidates select a particular city, NLU Delhi will not create a centre there. Candidates will be allotted their second or third preference . This makes test city correction particularly important—selecting a popular city increases the likelihood of getting a nearby centre.

Use your official documents as the reference, make the change, save it, and log in again to confirm it has been stored. Do not leave this for the last morning—the window closes at 8:00 AM on 15 November 2026.

AILET 2027: Blurred or Wrong Photo? Fix It Before 8 AM Tomorrow
A bad photo is one of the most common reasons applications get flagged. Selfies, group photos, dark backgrounds, or filtered images will not pass. NLU Delhi requires a clear colour passport-size photo with a white background, face covering about 75% of the frame, no cap or goggles (spectacles allowed) . Check the preview before submitting—if it looks dull or unclear, replace it. Photo corrections are allowed only until 8:00 AM on 15 November 2026.

AILET 2027: Your First-Choice Test City Is Not Guaranteed
Filling the form does not lock in your preferred city. NLU Delhi allots centres based on availability, and if a city receives fewer than 200 candidates, no centre is created there—you get your second or third preference instead . That is why the order of preference matters. Put your best city first and a practical backup second. You can review and change your test city preferences through the correction window until 8:00 AM on 15 November 2026 .

AILET 2027: Two Horizontal Reservations You Must Know Before Counselling
NLU Delhi applies two horizontal reservations that cut across every category—not extra seats, but quotas within each vertical group.
PwD: 5% within each category. Out of 110 merit seats, that works out to roughly 6 PwD seats . PwD candidates compete within their own category. If a PwD seat goes unfilled, it reverts to non-PwD candidates of the same category—not to other categories .
Women: 30% within each category. That translates to around 33 seats out of 110 . This is not a separate women's pool. Unfilled women's seats within a category go to male candidates of that same category.

AILET 2027: CLAT Score Won't Get You Into NLU Delhi
A common question from law aspirants: "I've filled the CLAT form—do I still need AILET?" Yes. CLAT and AILET are separate exams, and NLU Delhi admits students through AILET only. A CLAT rank will not be accepted for admission here. Candidates must fill the AILET application form separately on the official website. Those targeting multiple NLUs should prepare for both exams, as each has its own dates and process.
