NLU Delhi AILET 2027 Admissions

National Law University Delhi (NLU Delhi) has announced admissions for the 2027–28 academic year to its B.A.LL.B. (Hons.) and one-year LL.M. programmes. Students who meet the programme-specific academic requirements, including eligible candidates taking their qualifying examinations in 2027, can apply online through the University’s website.

The admission announcement lists 110 AILET-merit seats for B.A.LL.B. (Hons.) and 70 AILET-merit seats for LL.M., as well as 10 direct-admission seats for foreign nationals and OCI/PIO applicants in each programme; one additional supernumerary LL.M. seat is listed for Kashmiri Migrants. Applications for the main applicant categories close on November 10, 2026, and the online AILET examination is scheduled for December 13, 2026, from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Foreign Nationals and OCI/PIO applicants have a separate deadline of April 30, 2027. The announced process uses AILET merit for the listed merit seats, while those international categories are exempt from the test and considered for direct admission on merit.

Eligibility Criteria

Educational Qualification

B.A.LL.B. (Hons.): Applicants must have passed the Senior Secondary School Examination under the 10+2 system or an equivalent examination, with at least 45% marks.

The announcement also states a minimum aggregate of 55% marks, or 50% for reserved categories such as SC/ST and Persons with Disability, “in all the above-mentioned cases.” Because this statement sits alongside the programme-specific thresholds above, applicants should consult the official notice to confirm how it applies to their category and programme.
