AILET 2027 Registration: Last Date, Fee & How to Apply (NLU Delhi)

This guide on how to fill the AILET application form 2027 walks you through every part of the AILET 2027 registration process, the dates, the fee and who gets a waiver, the eligibility rules for BA LLB (Hons) and LLM, the exact documents and photo and signature specifications, a step-by-step form-filling walkthrough, how to correct mistakes, and what happens after you hit submit. It is written for serious NLU Delhi aspirants, so wherever a date or figure is official we say so, and wherever it is reported or tentative we flag it, so you never act on a number you should have double-checked. If you are preparing alongside filling this form, our AILET coaching in Delhi NCR programme is built around exactly this exam.

AILET 2027 Registration at a Glance

Before the detail, here is the whole AILET 2027 registration picture in one place. Keep this table open while you fill the form.

Two things stand out in that table. First, AILET 2027 is a current, open cycle, not a future one, so "AILET 2027" is the exam held in December 2026 that feeds the 2027–28 academic session. Second, every fact above comes from either the official AILET 2027 notification released by NLU Delhi or the live admission portal, and the single item still worth re-checking on the portal is the 10 November AILET form last date, because the one-page public notice confirms the 7 August opening and the 13 December exam but leaves the closing date to the detailed admission notice. If you searched for NLU Delhi AILET 2027 and landed on a dozen conflicting dates, that gap is exactly why.

AILET 2027 Important Dates (Official vs Reported)

Most pages mix confirmed and expected dates together, which is how aspirants miss deadlines. Here the two are kept separate, so you know which dates are fixed and which you should verify on the portal before relying on them.

The practical takeaway is simple. Do not wait for the correction window to fix a serious error, because corrections are limited and some fields can never be edited once submitted. Aim to complete your registration for AILET 2027 at least three to four days before the AILET 2027 last date of 10 November 2026, so that if a payment fails or a document upload is rejected, you still have breathing room. When is AILET 2027? The exam is on 13 December 2026, which means from late October you have under seven weeks of focused revision left after you finish registering.

AILET 2027 Registration Fee and Who Is Exempt

The AILET 2027 application fee, sometimes searched as the AILET form fee, AILET fees, AILET exam fees or AILET registration fees, is charged once per course you apply to. If you are applying to both BA LLB and LLM, you pay separately for each.

So the AILET 2027 registration fees are flat and category-based, with no city or stream loading on top. Read the exemption line carefully, because it is narrower than many candidates assume. The waiver applies to SC and ST women candidates who hold a valid BPL certificate. General BPL candidates, and non-SC/ST women, are not covered by this specific exemption. If you qualify for the waiver you must still complete the full form and upload the BPL certificate, you simply do not pay the AILET exam fee.

One common point of confusion worth clearing up: the AILET application fee is not the same as the admission or counselling fee. The Rs 3,000 or Rs 1,000 above is only what you pay to sit the exam. The much larger amount some websites quote, in the region of Rs 20,000 to Rs 30,000, is a separate counselling or admission confirmation fee paid much later, only if you are allotted a seat at NLU Delhi. Do not let that figure scare you off at the registration stage.

How to Pay the AILET 2027 Fee (and What to Do If Payment Fails)

You can pay the AILET registration fee online through debit card, credit card or net banking, or generate a challan and deposit cash at a designated branch within the stated window. A few hard-won tips: always let the payment page finish and return to the portal on its own rather than closing the tab, keep the transaction reference number, and if money is debited but the form still shows "payment pending", do not pay a second time immediately. Wait a few hours, refresh your application status, and only re-attempt once the first transaction has clearly failed and reversed. If it stays stuck, contact the NLU Delhi admission helpdesk with your transaction ID before the last date, not after it.

AILET 2027 Eligibility: Are You Eligible?

AILET 2027 eligibility is refreshingly open at the top end, there is no upper age limit for any course, so this is purely about qualifying marks and stream. Use the quick check below.

BA LLB (Hons) 5-Year Eligibility

You are eligible for AILET 2027 BA LLB if you have passed, or are appearing in 2027 for, the Class 12 (10+2) examination. The minimum marks required are:

• General: 45% in Class 12

• OBC: 42%

• SC / ST / PwD: 40%

• Foreign Nationals: 65% (exempt from writing AILET; admitted directly against supernumerary seats)

Candidates appearing in Class 12 in 2027 can apply now and submit their final marksheet at the time of admission. There is no restriction on the stream you studied in Class 12, so science, commerce and humanities students are all equally eligible.

LLM (1-Year) Eligibility

For the AILET 2027 LLM, you must have passed, or be appearing in the final year of, a three-year or five-year LLB degree or an equivalent law qualification. The minimum marks are 50% for General, OBC and EWS, and 45% for SC, ST and PwD. As with BA LLB, there is no upper age limit for the PG programme.

If you are still deciding between NLU Delhi and the CLAT NLUs, our counsellors at Law Prep Tutorial Delhi NCR admissions can map your eligibility and target score against both exams in a single sitting.

Documents Required for AILET 2027 Registration

Keep every file ready before you open the form, because the portal times out and re-uploading mid-session is where most errors creep in. Here is the full AILET 2027 documents checklist.

• Recent passport-size photograph (white background)

• Scanned signature

• Class 10 certificate (for date of birth and name spelling)

• Class 12 marksheet, or Class 12 appearing certificate if you are a 2027 candidate

• Graduation marksheet or certificate (LLM applicants only)

• Category certificate — SC/ST/OBC-NCL/EWS, as applicable

• BPL certificate (only for SC/ST women claiming the fee exemption)

• PwD certificate, if applicable

• Passport (Foreign Nationals) and OCI/PIO card, if applicable

• Character certificate, dated within the last three months

• Valid email ID and mobile number (used for all official communication)

AILET 2027 Photo and Signature Specifications

This is the detail most portals leave vague and most candidates get wrong on the first try. Match these specs exactly so your upload is not rejected.

Because exact file-size and format rules can be revised each cycle, open the live upload screen on the NLU Delhi portal and confirm the on-screen specification before you resize your files. If the brochure and the portal disagree, the portal's live limit is the one that counts.

How to Fill the AILET 2027 Application Form: Step-by-Step

Here is exactly how to apply for AILET 2027 online and fill the AILET application form 2027, from account creation to final printout. Follow the order, because you cannot pay before the form is complete, and you should not submit before the payment reflects. The same sequence works whether you are filling the AILET exam registration for BA LLB or for LLM.

1. Visit the official portal. Go to the NLU Delhi website, nationallawuniversitydelhi.in, and open the AILET 2027 admissions link. This is the only valid AILET registration portal; ignore any third-party "apply here" links.

2. Register and create your login. Click Register or Apply Now and enter your name (exactly as on your Class 10 certificate), email ID, mobile number and date of birth. Your login credentials are sent by SMS and email, so use a number and inbox you check daily.

3. Log in and select your course. Sign in with those credentials and choose your programme — BA LLB (Hons), LLM or PhD — then click Apply Now. Apply separately, and pay separately, if you want more than one course.

4. Fill in your details. Enter personal details, category, nationality, parent or guardian information, full postal address, and your academic record. You will also choose up to three exam centre cities in order of preference, so decide these in advance.

5. Upload your photo, signature and documents. Upload each file within the specifications in the table above. Check the preview before moving on.

6. Pay the application fee. Pay Rs 3,000 or Rs 1,000 as applicable, online or by challan. SC/ST women with a BPL certificate skip this step.

7. Review, submit and print. Re-read every field, confirm the payment shows as successful, then submit. Download and print the completed form and the fee receipt, and save a PDF copy. You will need these later.

Set aside an uninterrupted 30 to 40 minutes for this and use a laptop on a stable connection rather than a phone. The form is not long, but a dropped session during document upload is the single most common reason a candidate has to start a section again.

How to Edit the AILET 2027 Form and Mistakes to Avoid

A limited correction window is expected around mid-November 2026, but not every field can be edited, and some, such as the course or your category, may be locked once you pay. So the goal is to get it right the first time. The errors we see most often, in order:

• Name mismatch. Your name must match your Class 10 certificate letter for letter, including initials. A mismatch here can cause problems at admit-card and admission stages.

• Wrong category selected. Choosing General when you qualify for OBC-NCL or EWS, or vice versa, affects both your fee and your cut-off. Confirm your category certificate is current.

• Poor-quality photo or signature. Blurred, oversized, coloured-background or wrong-format images get rejected. Follow the spec table.

• Exam-city preferences left to chance. Pick your three cities deliberately; popular centres fill up.

• Submitting before payment reflects. Always confirm the fee status is successful before you finalise.

What Happens After You Submit

Registration is step one of several, and knowing the road ahead keeps you calm. After a successful AILET 2027 submission: you will receive a confirmation on your registered email and mobile; keep your login active and check it weekly. The admit card (hall ticket) is expected around 30 November 2026 and will be downloaded from the same portal, there is no separate login. Carry a printed admit card and a valid photo ID to your exam centre on 13 December 2026. The result follows in late December, after which shortlisted candidates move to counselling and the separate admission fee. In other words, the AILET login you create today is the single account you will use all the way from form to admit card to result.

AILET 2027 Exam Pattern and Marks

You are registering to sit a specific paper, so it helps to know what you have signed up for. The AILET 2027 BA LLB paper is 150 multiple-choice questions for 150 marks in 120 minutes, with these sections:

There is negative marking of 0.25 marks for every wrong answer, with plus one for a correct answer and nothing for a question left blank. The LLM paper carries 100 questions in two hours. Because logical reasoning alone is 70 of 150 marks, it is where most of your preparation time should go, a point our faculty make from day one in CLAT and AILET coaching in Delhi.

NLU Delhi Seats and Reservation

AILET 2027 admits students to NLU Delhi only. Knowing how few AILET 2027 seats there are tends to sharpen a candidate's revision considerably, because the AILET exam date 2027 of 13 December leaves little room to raise your score late.

Within the 110 BA LLB general-pool seats, reservation applies as OBC-NCL 22%, SC 15%, ST 7.5% and EWS 10%, with PwD reservation applied horizontally across categories. This is why your category selection on the form matters so much, it directly sets the pool you compete in.

AILET vs CLAT Registration: The Differences That Trip People Up

Because most aspirants fill both forms, it is worth being clear on how AILET and CLAT registration differ, since confusing them costs real money and real deadlines.

The one-line rule: if you want NLU Delhi, you must register for AILET separately, even if you have already filled your CLAT form. One does not cover the other. Serious NLU Delhi aspirants fill both and prepare for both, since the syllabus overlaps heavily.

Registration Done? Preparation Starts Now

Filling the form is the easy part; converting that form into an NLU Delhi seat against 110 general places is the real work. With the exam on 13 December 2026, every day between now and then counts. If you are in the capital region, structured, exam-specific coaching makes the difference between a good score and a qualifying one, and Law Prep Tutorial runs centres right across Delhi NCR, including Hauz Khas, GTB Nagar, Noida, Ghaziabad and Gurugram, so there is almost certainly a batch within reach of you.

To recap the essentials one last time: AILET 2027 registration is open until 10 November 2026, the fee is Rs 3,000 for General and Rs 1,000 for reserved categories, SC/ST BPL women are exempt, the exam is on 13 December 2026, and you apply only at nationallawuniversitydelhi.in. Finish the form early, keep your receipt, and start your revision today.
