Students aiming for admission to the B.A. LL.B. (Hons.) programme at National Law University Delhi (NLU Delhi) should check the AILET Eligibility Criteria 2027 before applying. The eligibility framework primarily encompasses the qualifying test standards, minimum score thresholds, and requirements differentiated by candidate category.
Candidates who have already completed Class 12 as well as those waiting for their results can apply, subject to fulfilling the prescribed conditions within the required timeline. Separate provisions are applicable to Foreign Nationals and OCI/PIO candidates.
For the BA LLB programme, candidates need to meet the academic requirements prescribed for admission. Indian candidates are required to appear for the All India Law Entrance Test (AILET), while Foreign Nationals have a separate admission route.
The final admission requirements should be checked against the official AILET 2027 notification when released.
Applicants must have completed the Higher Secondary School Examination under the 10+2 system, or an equivalent qualification.
The required percentage depends on the candidate's category. The marks are calculated in aggregate as prescribed for admission.
Students who are currently studying in Class 12 can also submit an application for AILET 2027 and take the entrance examination.
However, their admission remains conditional on obtaining the required qualification and marks within the deadline specified by NLU Delhi.
Students awaiting their Class 12 results should therefore keep the following points in mind:
● They can apply before receiving their final marksheet.
● They can appear for the entrance examination.
● The required qualifying marks must be obtained by the prescribed cut-off date.
● The cut-off date will be communicated by NLU Delhi as part of the admission process.
● A candidate placed in a compartment in the qualifying examination in the year of admission will be considered ineligible under the applicable rule.
Applicants must have completed the Higher Secondary School Examination under the 10+2 system, or an equivalent qualification.
The required percentage depends on the candidate's category. The marks are calculated in aggregate as prescribed for admission.
Foreign Nationals are covered under a separate admission provision for the BA LLB programme. They do not have to take AILET for admission under the Foreign National category.
To qualify as a Foreign National, a candidate must:
● Hold citizenship of a country other than India.
● Hold a current and valid passport document issued by your nation of citizenship.
● Have secured at least 65% marks in the 10+2 examination or an equivalent qualification.
● Apply through the prescribed online admission process.
For this category, selection is based on the prescribed academic qualification rather than AILET performance. The merit list for Foreign Nationals is prepared using marks obtained in the qualifying examination.
Candidates covered under the OCI/PIO category have the option of applying through the designated OCI/PIO route or applying separately under the Indian student category.
There is an important difference between the two:
● OCI/PIO candidates applying under the OCI/PIO category are considered according to the rules applicable to that category.
● They may also submit a separate application as an Indian candidate.
● Separate application forms are required when applying through both routes.
● An OCI/PIO candidate applying as an Indian student must appear for AILET.
● The merit ranking for OCI/PIO category candidates is determined by their qualifying examination scores.
The definitions of OCI/PIO are governed by the applicable Government of India provisions.
AILET 2027 allocates its total seat capacity across multiple categories. According to the current seat distribution, the B.A. LL.B. program offers a total of 120 available seats.
The PwD reservation is applied horizontally across the relevant categories. The seat distribution and reservation percentages should be verified with the official AILET 2027 admission notification once published.
The Indian candidate seats are distributed across General, OBC, SC, ST and EWS categories.
The applicable reservation structure includes:
● OBC- Non-Creamy Layer: 22%
● SC: 15%
● ST: 7.5%
● EWS: 10%
● PwD: Horizontal reservation as prescribed
● Foreign Nationals: 5 seats
● OCI/PIO: 5 seats
Any unoccupied Foreign National or OCI/PIO seats are eligible for reallocation to General Category candidates selected through AILET merit, consistent with admission policies.
Before applying, candidates should keep these requirements in mind:
● BA LLB admission requires completion of Class 12 or an equivalent educational qualification.
● The minimum percentage varies according to category.
● General candidates require 45% aggregate marks.
● OBC candidates require 42%.
● SC, ST and PwD candidates require 40%.
● Foreign Nationals require 65%.
● Students currently completing Class 12 and awaiting final results may submit provisional applications.
● The qualifying requirement must be completed within the notified deadline.
● Foreign National applicants do not need to sit for the AILET entrance examination.
● OCI/PIO candidates applying through the Indian category must take AILET.
● Separate forms are required when an OCI/PIO candidate applies through both categories.
● The final eligibility rules announced by NLU Delhi will be applicable for admission.
Applicants are required to have completed Class 12 or an equivalent exam and attain the category-specific minimum aggregate score.
General candidates need 45% aggregate marks, OBC candidates need 42%, while SC, ST and PwD candidates require 40%.
