AILET 2025 Exam Analysis

The All-India Law Entrance Test (AILET) for NLU - Delhi 2025 was conducted on December 8, 2024.  It was a pen & paper based exam. There was no change in the pattern this year. It was on similar lines as predicted. The paper had 150 questions to be done in 120 minutes. This year, English language had 50 questions, and the questions were based only on Reading Comprehension passages. The GK section had 30 questions and questions were based on conventional areas. The Logical reasoning & Legal aptitude were in the same section. Overall, the paper was lengthy & moderate to difficult.
Each year, many students take the AILET for BA LLB. There are only a few seats available, so it is one of India's most competitive law school admission tests. As a result, candidates with a high rank will have a better chance of admission to NLU Delhi. The two major challenges were time management & lengthy papers. However, it was slightly easier than the previous year’s paper.

Section - C
Logical Reasoning
This section had a mix of conventional critical reasoning, legal aptitude & analytical reasoning. The section was dominated by critical reasoning with more than 35 questions out of 70 questions. The surprise element was that only a few questions based on legal reasoning existed. The critical reasoning questions were based on assumption, inference, strengthening or weakening the conclusion, finding the best conclusion, likely to support, assertion/reason, statement/argument, etc. in other words, the questions were based on conventional critical reasoning and the format of the questions was also in the form of single paragraph except for one or two questions where the paragraphs were slightly lengthy. The analytical questions were based of rank & order, seating arrangements, & syllogism. The analytical reasoning portion was dominated by series & syllogism.  The AILET 2024 Logical Reasoning section featured 4 legal aptitude questions, evenly split between Contract Law and Torts Law. The Contract Law questions focused on the principles of restitution and damages, examining scenarios involving compensation for loss and restoration of benefits. The Torts Law questions addressed trespass and defamation, with one testing liability for unauthorized entry and the other exploring the consequences of publishing false statements. The questions were moderate in difficulty and largely predictable, aligning closely with the content covered in class, emphasizing the importance of foundational understanding and regular practice in these core areas.
Overall, this was the lengthiest & the trickiest section. The types of questions were as follows:
