AILET 2027 Registration Closes Tonight: Last Chance for 110 NLU Delhi BA LLB Seats

The clock is running out for law aspirants. National Law University Delhi closes the AILET 2027 registration window tonight, November 10, 2026, and there is no word of an extension. If you plan to study law at NLU Delhi next year, this is your last chance to get your name on the list. The form, the documents, and the fee payment all have to be done before the window shuts.

AILET is the only way into NLU Delhi. Unlike most other national law universities, NLU Delhi does not accept CLAT scores. It runs its own entrance test for the five-year BA LLB (Hons), the one-year LLM, and PhD programmes.

110 BA LLB seats and 70 LLM seats are up for grabs

NLU Delhi has kept the seat numbers tight. Out of 120 BA LLB (Hons) seats, 110 go to candidates who clear AILET on merit. The remaining seats are for foreign nationals and OCI or PIO applicants, who do not sit for AILET and apply through a separate process. Their deadline is April 30, 2027.

For the one-year LLM programme, 70 seats are filled through AILET merit. With such small numbers, the competition is sharp, and a single missed deadline can cost a full year.

The form takes less than an hour to fill, but a missed deadline costs a full year. If NLU Delhi is on your list, finish the application today.

AILET 2027 key dates you must not miss

The schedule is short and clear. Registration opened on August 7, 2026, and closes today. Here are the dates that matter:

• November 10, 2026: Last date to register and pay the fee
• November 30, 2026: Admit cards available for download
• December 13, 2026: AILET 2027 exam, 2 pm to 4 pm

The exam is a pen-and-paper test held on a Sunday. NLU Delhi will run it in a single shift across 31 cities, including Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Kolkata, Visakhapatnam, and Pune. One detail students often miss: a centre is set up in a city only if at least 200 candidates register for it. So pick your three preferred cities with care.

Who can apply, and what it costs

For the BA LLB (Hons) programme, you need to have passed Class 12 or an equivalent exam. For the one-year LLM, you need an LLB degree or an equivalent qualification. There is no age limit for either programme, which is good news for students who took a gap year or switched streams late.

The application fee is Rs 3,000 for most candidates. Candidates from SC, ST, and PwD categories pay Rs 1,000. BPL candidates from SC or ST categories and BPL women applicants do not have to pay at all. The fee has to be paid online along with the form. A form without the fee payment does not count as submitted.

Keep in mind that meeting the minimum marks does not guarantee a seat. Admission depends on your AILET score, the reservation rules, and how many seats are left after each round. A short correction window opens for three days after registration closes, but do not count on it. Check every detail before you hit submit.

How to apply on the official portal

Go to the official NLU Delhi website at nationallawuniversitydelhi.in and open the AILET 2027 registration link. Create an account or log in, fill in your personal and programme details, choose your three test cities, upload your photo and signature, and pay the fee through UPI, card, or net banking.

Do it early in the day if you can. Portals slow down in the last few hours as thousands of students rush in together. A payment that fails late at night may not get a second chance. Save a copy of the submitted form and the fee receipt once you are done.

What to do after you apply

Once the form is in, the next date on your calendar is November 30, when admit cards come out. Download yours from your login and check the centre, the reporting time, and your details at once.

Students preparing for other entrance tests can keep their plans on track too. The SNAP 2026 registration stays open till November 25, and the FMS Delhi MBA admission window also runs this month. For a full view of what is open right now, check the admissions section.

For law aspirants, though, today is the day that counts. AILET 2027 is one exam, one university, and a very small number of seats. If NLU Delhi is your dream college, do not let the form sit half-filled. Finish it tonight.
