AILET Exam Analysis 2025

As per first impressions from AILET takers, the students and teachers both found the exam on the lengthier side.

The English Language section was still doable with an easy to moderate difficulty level.

The logical Reasoning section had a lot of analytical reasoning questions making the difficulty level on the moderate side.

But the biggest challenge was the Current Affairs & GK section, which was on the difficult side.

Consequently, the initial idea is that the cutoffs are not likely to budge the previous year's standards; they’d be very similar.

AILET 2025 Section-Wise Difficulty Level

The difficulty level of this section was easy-moderate. Compared to last year's AILET paper which had 7 passages, this year the total number of passages was only 6. However, they were easy to read, and most questions were direct except for close choices in some cases.

The General Knowledge section in this year's paper was a good mix of static general knowledge and current affairs. This section was a challenge and definitely the most difficult among the three sections. While some questions were easy, students would have found the static general knowledge-based questions difficult.

Compared to previous years, this section had more questions from analytical reasoning. However, they were easy. The section was lengthier but the questions on analytical reasoning like series, coding, and arrangements were easy and compensated for the overall length of the section. The section difficulty level is easy-moderate. There were 8 questions on legal reasoning which were direct.

Overall, the paper of AILET-2025 was a mixed bag. AILET has always been about surprises. Kudos to NLU Delhi for creating, what can be considered an error-proof paper.

Frequently asked questions

80 is considered a decent score in AILET. The value of this score might differ based on a candidate's category. For an OBC, SC, or ST category student, this is a very good score, but for a general category student, it can land you in a risky spot. However, it can still change for AILET 2025, so there is no hard and fast rule.

Generally, a score above 90 is considered a good score in AILET. However, this is highly dependent on the difficulty level of the exam.

The exam has not happened yet, so one cannot comment upon the difficulty level before it has happened. Students are advised not to believe any such predictions beforehand. Get into the exam room with a positive attitude and all should be fine.

The toughness of any exam depends on the preparation level of the student. However, one can compare an exam on the difficulty level basis of previous years.
