Negative Marking: Each question in AILET carries 1 mark, 0.25 points will be deducted for each incorrect answer. As a result, four incorrect responses will result in a 1-mark reduction.
Selection Criteria: If two or more students receive the same score, then their merit will be determined by the better score in the Logical Reasoning component. If the merit remains the same, the older applicant will be given precedence. If there is still no change in merit, the automated draw of lots will be considered.

NLU Delhi has issued the syllabus for AILET, which covers the three subjects, as given below.
In AILET 2025, 150 multiple-choice questions will be asked. These questions will be based on passages of understanding.
While each question is worth one mark and 0.25 marks are deducted for each incorrect response. AILET exam question papers have become longer in recent years, making it impossible for candidates to complete the test within 90 minutes. This is why this year the total time given to complete the paper is 120 minutes, a 30-minute increase from previous years.
The English component of the exam will consist of 50 questions. The questions are intended to assess your grammar, vocabulary, and comprehension abilities. As a result, solving the previous year's question papers for the AILET exam every week can help you understand the sort of questions offered and the difficulty level. Also, learning grammatical principles can assist you with error detection problems.
Important topics for the English Language section of AILET include
The Current Affairs and GK section of the AILET exam will consist of 30 questions. This section will require you to have good GK knowledge and be up-to-date with current affairs happening around the world.
The key to this section is to read about current events, either online or in the newspaper. The section isn’t primarily difficult but can be tricky to deal with, as incorrect responses can easily rack up and affect your final result.
Important topics for the Current Affairs & General Knowledge section of AILET include
The Logical Reasoning of the AILET exam will have 70 questions, which is almost 50% of the total questions (150). This section is based purely on logic and is also used as a tie-breaker. The questions in the Logical Reasoning portion test your logical abilities and critical thinking skills, and practice is the only way to score well in this subject.
