The AILET 2027 application form will go live on 7 August 2026 on the official NLU Delhi admission portal. National Law University Delhi confirmed the schedule through its official notification released on 23 July 2026, which also locked in the exam date as 13 December 2026. Aspirants aiming for NLU Delhi’s prestigious law programmes should mark this date, since the registration window is expected to close within a few months of opening.
AILET 2027: Exam Date and Notification
NLU Delhi’s notification confirms that the All India Law Entrance Test will be held in offline mode on Sunday, 13 December 2026, from 2 PM to 4 PM, for admission to the BA LLB (Hons), LLM, and PhD programmes. This exam date falls a week after the CLAT 2027 exam, a pattern NLU Delhi has followed in previous cycles so that common aspirants aren’t forced to choose between the two entrance tests. It’s worth noting that NLU Delhi is not part of the CLAT Consortium and runs its own independent admission process through AILET.
AILET 2027 Registration: How to Apply
Once the AILET 2027 application form goes live, candidates can follow these steps:
- Visit the official website, nationallawuniversitydelhi.in, from 7 August 2026 onward
- Look for the AILET 2027 registration link on the homepage
- Register with your basic details to create a login
- Fill in personal, academic, and communication details, and select three preferred test cities
- Upload a passport-size photograph and scanned signature as specified
- Complete the fee payment and download the confirmation receipt
The last date for AILET 2027 application form registration has not been announced yet; candidates are advised to check the official notification regularly rather than assuming a fixed closing date. Past cycles suggest the AILET application form typically remains open for a couple of months, giving candidates enough time to gather documents and complete the process without rushing at the last minute.
AILET 2027 Eligibility and Fees
Candidates must have passed, or be appearing in, their Class 12 examination, with a minimum of 45% marks for the General category, 42% for OBC (non-creamy layer), and 40% for SC/ST/PwD candidates. There is no upper age limit for AILET, and students awaiting their Class 12 results can also apply provisionally.
The AILET 2027 application form fee is Rs 3,000 for General, OBC, and EWS candidates, and Rs 1,000 for SC, ST, and PwD candidates. BPL candidates from the SC/ST category are exempt from the application fee. Candidates should also keep their Class 10 and Class 12 mark sheets ready for upload while filling the form, since incomplete applications without fee payment will not be considered valid.
A correction window is typically opened closer to the exam date, allowing candidates to fix errors in personal or academic details before admit cards are issued, so it’s worth double-checking entries at the time of submission itself to avoid relying on that window.
