Admission is holistic, accepting scores from CLAT, LSAT-India, CUET, or the university's own ACLAT/AUSAT, followed by a Personal Interview. Don't wait for the rush—submit your application online at apply.alliance.edu.in to prioritize your legal career.

The race for a seat at a premier law institution has officially begun with the Alliance School of Law, Alliance University, opening its Early Admission application window for the 2026-27 academic session. This is a crucial opportunity for prospective students targeting undergraduate (B.A. LL.B. (Hons.), B.B.A. LL.B. (Hons.), LL.B.), postgraduate (LL.M.), and doctoral (Ph.D. in Law) programs. By applying in this early phase, candidates are not merely submitting a form; they are making a strategic investment in their future, gaining priority access to both limited seats and valuable financial aid.
The Alliance School of Law employs a comprehensive and flexible admission process, acknowledging scores from various national-level entrance examinations, including CLAT, LSAT-India, and CUET, alongside its own proprietary tests, the Alliance Common Law Admission Test (ACLAT) or the Alliance University Scholastic Aptitude Test (AUSAT). This flexibility ensures that candidates are evaluated based on their best performance. However, the true advantage of the early application lies in the increased probability of securing a scholarship—a key financial benefit often awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, rewarding proactive and meritorious students.
I. Admission Flexibility and Entrance Test Choices
Alliance School of Law provides significant flexibility in its selection process, accepting a wide range of scores from established law entrance exams, ensuring that students are not penalized for focusing on a single test. The selection is a two-step process: entrance score followed by a Personal Interview.
- Accepted National Entrance Exams:
- CLAT (Common Law Admission Test) scores are highly valued for both UG and PG programs.
- LSAT—India scores are accepted, offering an alternative for students preparing for international standards.
- CUET (Common University Entrance Test) scores are also considered, providing an option for pan-India eligibility.
- University's Own Tests:
- ACLAT (Alliance Common Law Admission Test) is the primary internal law entrance examination.
- AUSAT (Alliance University Scholastic Aptitude Test) scores are also utilized, primarily for undergraduate admissions. AUSAT is a 90-minute online test comprising 100 MCQs, focusing on English, General Knowledge, Quantitative Aptitude, and Logical Reasoning.
- Mandatory Personal Interview (PI): All shortlisted candidates, regardless of the entrance test they cleared, must undergo a Personal Interview. This vital stage assesses communication skills, subject aptitude, career focus, and overall suitability for the demanding legal curriculum.
II. The Crucial Scholarship Incentive of Early Admission
The most compelling reason to apply during the Early Admission window is the priority consideration for the university's comprehensive merit-based scholarship framework. These scholarships are often capped and are typically exhausted during the initial admission cycles.
- Merit-Based Fee Waivers: Alliance offers substantial tuition fee waivers based on both entrance exam scores and academic consistency in Class X and XII.
- CLAT Score Example: Candidates with high CLAT scores (e.g., in the top percentiles) combined with strong Class XII marks (e.g., 70% and above) may be eligible for waivers reaching 50% or more of the tuition fee.
- Academic Excellence: Even without a top entrance score, exceptional performance in board exams (e.g., 95% and above in Class X and XII) can independently qualify a candidate for up to a 50% fee waiver on the tuition fee component.
- AUSAT-Based Freeships: High percentile scores in the AUSAT can also lead to special freeships, providing an immediate financial benefit to successful internal test-takers.
- Category and Special Waivers: Scholarships are also available for candidates in reserved categories (SC/ST), the differently-abled, children of defence personnel, and national/international level athletes. Early application ensures that applicants are considered for these limited seats and dedicated funds before the general admission rush.
- Programme Preference: Early applicants get the first choice of their preferred program and specialization (e.g., B.A. LL.B. (Hons.) vs. B.B.A. LL.B. (Hons.) or a specific LL.M. specialization), reducing the risk of a desired stream filling up later.
III. Eligibility and Application Process Checklist
Prospective students must ensure they meet the minimum eligibility requirements and follow the correct online application procedure for a successful submission.
- Eligibility Snapshot (UG Programs):
- 5-Year Integrated Law Programs (B.A./B.B.A. LL.B. (Hons.)): Must have passed the 10+2 examination or equivalent with a minimum of 50% marks in aggregate (45% for SC/ST candidates).
