It&#8217;s a national-level test organized by the <a href=\"https:\/\/consortiumofnlus.ac.in\/\">Consortium of National Law<\/a> Universities. Esteemed institutions such as the National Law Universities and National Law University Delhi, along with other colleges, use this exam to select students for their undergraduate and postgraduate law programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CLAT plays a key role in the admission process for various law courses. All 26 NLUs consider CLAT scores for 5-year LLB admissions, while 21 of these also use CLAT PG scores for admission into their LLM programs. Additionally, other law colleges also rely on CLAT scores to admit students into their undergraduate and postgraduate law programs. Once you pass the CLAT exam, you will proceed through the NLU admission process, and then you can finally enroll in your dream college.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/DrCZVGM4qW9Bdn85IVR3R9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"142\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-11-16-at-11.21.13-AM-1-1024x142.jpeg\" alt=\"CLAT Free Resources\" class=\"wp-image-23785\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-11-16-at-11.21.13-AM-1-1024x142.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-11-16-at-11.21.13-AM-1-300x42.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-11-16-at-11.21.13-AM-1-768x107.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-11-16-at-11.21.13-AM-1-150x21.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-11-16-at-11.21.13-AM-1-696x97.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-11-16-at-11.21.13-AM-1-1068x148.jpeg 1068w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-11-16-at-11.21.13-AM-1.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">CLAT Free Resources<a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/LTsnfbbbTXALF7hwwE4X3w\">https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/LTsnfbbbTXALF7hwwE4X3w<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Eligibility_Criteria_for_CLAT\"><\/span><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Eligibility Criteria for CLAT<\/mark><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>CATEGORY<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>CLAT UG<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>CLAT PG<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>General\/OBC\/Specially-abled Persons (SAP) category<\/td><td>10+2 with 45% marks<\/td><td>LL.B. or equivalent degree in law examination with minimum 50% marks<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>SC\/ST<\/td><td>10+2 with 40% marks<\/td><td>LL.B. or equivalent degree in law examination with minimum 50% marks<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Also Read:  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/clat-eligibility-criteria\/\">CLAT 2025  Eligibility Criteria<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-nlu-admission-process-important-documents-required\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"NLU_Admission_Process_Important_Documents_Required\"><\/span><strong>NLU Admission Process: Important Documents Required<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Documents<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Purpose<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Required By<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>CLAT Admit Card<\/td><td>Verification of exam attempt<\/td><td>All candidates<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>CLAT Scorecard<\/td><td>Rank and score validation<\/td><td>All candidates<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Class 10 Certificate<\/td><td>Date of birth proof<\/td><td>All candidates<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Class 12 Marksheet<\/td><td>Academic eligibility for UG<\/td><td>UG candidates<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Graduation Marksheet (LLB)<\/td><td>Eligibility proof for PG<\/td><td>PG (LLM) candidates<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Caste\/Category Certificate<\/td><td>Reservation verification<\/td><td>SC\/ST\/OBC\/EWS\/PwD<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Domicile Certificate<\/td><td>For state quota claim<\/td><td>Where applicable<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Passport-size Photos<\/td><td>For ID and documents<\/td><td>All candidates<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Transfer\/Migration Certificate<\/td><td>Institute verification<\/td><td>All candidates<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Character Certificate<\/td><td>Conduct record<\/td><td>All candidates<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"NLU_Fee_Structure\"><\/span><strong>NLU <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Fee Structure<\/mark><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The following table presents the fee structure of NLUs, ordered from the highest to the lowest:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>National Law Universities<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>NLU Fees (Per Annum)<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>National Law School of India University, Bangalore<\/td><td>INR 3,75,500<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>National Law University, Delhi<\/td><td>INR 1,83,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>National Academy of Legal Study &amp;

Notifications will be sent via email, SMS, and on the CLAT 2025 portal. It is essential for candidates to check their CLAT account on the Consortium of NLUs website to confirm their invitation for counselling, as the Consortium will not be responsible for any communication failures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The NLU Admission Counselling Process for CLAT 2025 began at 4:00 PM on May 17, 2025, and closed at 5:00 PM on May 21, 2025. To participate in the counselling, candidates were required to pay a counselling registration fee: \u20b930,000 for General category candidates and \u20b920,000 for candidates from reserved categories. This fee is refundable under specific conditions, and candidates had to provide valid bank account details to facilitate any applicable refund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Registration involves logging into the CLAT account, making the payment, and ensuring the payment is successful. Candidates are advised not to delay their payment to avoid last-minute issues, and no late payment requests will be entertained. Successfully registered candidates will be considered for seat allotment, but registration does not guarantee admission. Seats may be allotted in subsequent rounds based on vacancies in specific categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also read: <a href=\"https:\/\/consortiumofnlus.ac.in\/clat-2024\/notifications\/Counselling-Instructions.pdf\">NLU COUNSELLING INSTRUCTIONS<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-nlu-delhi-admission-process\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"NLU_Delhi_Admission_Process\"><\/span><strong>NLU Delhi Admission Process<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nludelhi.ac.in\/home.aspx\">National Law University, Delhi<\/a> stands out as the second top Law school and NLU in India. According to the 2024 NIRF rankings, it has been placed at the second position. Setting it apart from other NLUs, it conducts the AILET exam specifically for its admissions. The tuition fees for the five-year course amount to about 18 lakhs. While the fees might be on the higher side, the university is renowned for providing excellent return on investment through exceptional exposure, placements, and other opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We will discuss about the application process of NLU Delhi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_AILET\"><\/span><strong>What is AILET? <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>AILET stands for &#8216;All India Law Entrance Test&#8217; which is conducted by NLU Delhi for admissions to its undergraduate (UG), post graduate (PG) and PhD programms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> The AILET examination consists of three parts: English Language, Logical Reasoning, and Current Affairs &amp; General Knowledge, with a total exam time of 90 minutes. Candidates will face 150 questions (for undergraduate courses) during this period. Historical data suggests that the AILET generally has a moderate level of difficulty, but given the intense competition, it&#8217;s crucial for aspiring law students to prepare extensively. Doing so will enhance their chances of performing well in the AILET and gaining entry into NLU-Delhi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"CLAT vs AILET | Major Differences | Top Colleges | Level of Difficulty\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DiSMwBEkTMI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"NLU_Delhi_Admission_Process_Eligibility_Criteria\"><\/span><strong>NLU Delhi Admission Process: <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Eligibility Criteria<\/mark><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While talking about the NLU admission process, let&#8217;s talk about the eligibility criteria for BA LLB and LLM courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Course<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Information<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>BALLB<\/td><td>General Category: 10+2 or equivalent examination with minimum of 45 percent aggregate marks.<br>Candidates appearing for their 10+2 can also apply for the UG programme.<br>SC\/ST\/PwD: 10+2 or equivalent examination with minimum of 40 percent aggregate marks.<br>Candidates appearing for their 10+2 can also apply for the UG programme.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>LLM<\/td><td>General Category: LLB degree or equivalent degree from a recognized university with minimum of 55 percent aggregate marks.<br>SC\/ST\/PwD: LLB degree or equivalent degree from a recognized university with minimum of 50 percent aggregate marks.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"AILET_Exam_Dates_2025\"><\/span><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">AILET Exam Dates 2025<\/mark><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While talking about the NLU admission process, lets talk about the AILET exam dates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Events<\/td><td>Dates<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>AILET online application<\/td><td>September- November<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Admit Cards<\/td><td>November End<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>AILET exam<\/td><td>December first week<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>AILET result<\/td><td>December last week<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Counselling<\/td><td>January<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"NLU_Delhi_Admission_Process_Seats_Intake\"><\/span><strong>NLU Delhi Admission Process: <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Seats Intake<\/mark> <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While talking about the NLU admission process. let&#8217;s talk about the seat intakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Courses<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Number of Seats<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>BA LLB<\/td><td>110+10 (110 seats on AILET merit; 5 seats each for Foreign Nationals and OCI\/PIO for direct admission on merit).

Many NLUs offer scholarships and financial aid to deserving students that helps them financially.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-faqs-nlu-admission-process\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs_NLU_Admission_Process\"><\/span><strong>FAQs: NLU Admission Process<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q1.
