AILET UG is the undergraduate entrance test used for admission to the five-year BA LLB (Hons) programme at National Law University, Delhi - one of India's most sought-after law schools. It is aimed at students who have finished (or are about to finish) Class 12 and want a career in law, and it is also taken by candidates who are weighing NLU Delhi against other national law universities. The AILET UG study guide has 5 sections and about 1,454 words.
01English Language: Precision Reading and Controlled Usage
AILET's English Language section tests precision in reading and control in usage. It is not a literature paper - nobody asks who wrote what.
304 words, about 2 min02Current Affairs and General Knowledge: Dated Facts plus Static Foundations
AILET's Current Affairs and General Knowledge section rewards consistent, dated reading rather than last-minute cramming. Roughly half the items track events of the previous twelve months; the rest test static general knowledge - Indian polity, geography, history, economy, science, awards and international institutions.
290 words, about 1 min03Legal Reasoning: Applying a Given Principle to Given Facts
AILET's Legal Reasoning items are principle-and-fact puzzles. You are given a legal principle - often drawn from contract, tort, criminal law or constitutional law - and a short set of facts, and asked which conclusion follows.
323 words, about 2 min04Logical Reasoning: Deduction First, Then Critical Reading
Logical Reasoning carries the largest weight in AILET. It tests structured thinking rather than legal knowledge: syllogisms, analytical puzzles, series, coding-decoding and blood relations, plus a heavy share of critical reasoning - assumption, strengthen/weaken, inference and conclusion items.
274 words, about 1 min05Quantitative Techniques: Pattern Recognition Under Time Pressure
AILET's Quantitative Techniques section is short but not free marks. It tests Class 8–10 arithmetic under time pressure, and one arithmetic slip cancels the gain.
