AILET 2026 first provisional selection confirmation is active. Pay the ₹50,000 fee and upload the signed offer letter by Jan 14 to secure your NLU Delhi seat.

The National Law University (NLU) Delhi is currently overseeing the mandatory confirmation phase for candidates named in the first provisional merit list of AILET 2026. Following the release of the results for both the B.A.LL.B. (Hons.) and LL.M. programs on January 8, the university has activated the portal for the payment of admission fees. Aspirants have until the morning of January 14 to complete their provisional formalities, after which any unclaimed seats will be recalibrated for the second round of selection.

Mandatory Steps for Securing Provisional Admission

Candidates featured in the first merit list must navigate a specific two-part process to signify their acceptance of the offer. NLU Delhi has emphasized that mere selection in the list does not guarantee a seat unless the financial and administrative requirements are met within the stipulated timeframe.

• Fee Submission: Selected candidates are required to deposit a sum of ₹50,000 as a provisional admission confirmation fee. This amount, alongside the initial counselling fee, will be adjusted against the total annual fee payable for the academic year.
• Offer Letter Documentation: Aspirants must download their specific Admission Offer Letter from their AILET account. To formalize the confirmation, they are required to sign every page of this letter and re-upload it to the portal.
• Signed Undertaking: Along with the offer letter, a signed undertaking by both the candidate and their parent or guardian must be submitted digitally.
• Strict Deadlines: The portal for fee payment and document uploading will remain active only until 11:00 AM on January 14, 2026. Failure to comply will result in the immediate forfeiture of the seat.

Verification and Transition to the Second Merit List

The university is currently conducting a real-time verification of the digital documents uploaded by the candidates. This check ensures that all reservation claims and academic eligibility criteria are met before the final admission is solidified.

• Document Discrepancies: If any document is found to be invalid or if a candidate fails to meet the minimum marks requirement in their qualifying exam, the provisional offer will be cancelled.
• Seat Vacancy Monitoring: NLU Delhi is tracking the number of candidates who decline the offer or miss the fee deadline. These vacant slots will form the basis of the second merit list scheduled for release later this month.
• Waitlist Movement: Candidates who missed the first list by a narrow margin are advised to keep their documents ready, as the second round typically sees a significant shift in the opening and closing ranks.
• Communication Channels: The university continues to send alerts via SMS and email to registered candidates, but students are urged to rely primarily on their dashboard for the latest confirmation status.

Conclusion

The ongoing confirmation process is a critical juncture for the AILET 2026 batch, transitioning the focus from competitive ranking to institutional enrollment. With the January 14 deadline approaching, the university expects the majority of top-tier seats to be locked in by this weekend. As the first list marks the benchmark for this year's cutoffs, the rigorous verification and fee payment protocols ensure a transparent and merit-based admission cycle. Following the conclusion of this round, the second provisional merit list will be announced on January 21, 2026, to fill any remaining vacancies in the prestigious law programs.
