AILET 2025: B.Com. LL.B. (Hons.)

NLU Delhi launched a five-year integrated undergraduate program: B.Com. LL.B. (Hons.). However, they have withdrawn the course for the current academic year due to administrative issues.

B. Com. LL.B. (Hons.) is a blended program that explores the intersections of business in the legal world.

In short, AILET 2025 will now only be conducted to provide admissions into NLU Delhi’s three courses, namely, B.A.LL.B., LL.M.,& PhD.

Students who may have registered only for the B.Com. LL.B. (Hons.) course will get an opportunity to withdraw their application with a full refund, by October 21, 2024.

Students who miss this deadline will still have a chance to sit for the AILET examination and be eligible to pursue a B.A. LL.B. program, if selected. In case, someone has refunded and still wants to pursue their NLUD dreams, they can reapply for AILET 2025 by 18 November 2024.

AILET 2025 Exam Pattern

The AILET Exam Pattern for B.A.LL.B (Hons.) program will have three (3) sections of 150 multiple-choice questions for 150 marks in total. The duration of the examination is 120 minutes.

The three sections are:

Section A: English Language (50 questions; 50 marks).
Section B: Current Affairs & General Knowledge (30 questions; 30 marks)
Section C: Logical Reasoning (70 questions; 70 marks)

Legal principles may be used in the logical reasoning section to test logical aptitude but the examination does not require more than the basic knowledge of legal concepts

Marking Scheme and Selection criteria

Negative marking: There will be a Negative Marking in AILET. The criteria for negative marking will be based on the formula 0.25*4=1 which means 0.25 marks will be deducted for every wrong answer. Therefore, four wrong answers will lead to a deduction of 1 Mark.
Selection criteria: If two or more candidates get the same marks at the All India Law Entrance Test (AILET), their merit will be determined on the basis of higher marks in the section Logical Reasoning. If the merit is still the same, then the candidate who is senior in age shall get preference. If still there is no change in merit, then the computerized draw of lots shall be taken into consideration.
