AILET 2026 Exam: Check Last-Minute Guidelines for the Exam Day

On Sunday, December 14, 2025, National Law University (NLU), Delhi, will administer the All India Law Entrance Test (AILET) 2026. The entrance exam for applicants to NLU Delhi's BA, LLB, LLM, and PhD programs will take place from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Prior to the test, the university has released detailed exam day guidelines that candidates must follow.

To ensure a seamless and hassle-free exam experience, AILET candidates are advised to carefully read and adhere to all instructions on the admit card. Following the guidelines, arriving on time, and making the necessary preparations are all necessary to avoid last-minute issues on exam day.

AILET Exam 2026: Required Documents and Reporting Schedule

Students should not forget to bring their admit card and a valid photo ID when they show up for the AILET 2026 exam. If students forget the admit card, they won’t let you in, no exceptions. Simply, candidates should aim to get to the exam center about an hour to an hour and a half early. It gives them enough time to get through seating and verification without feeling rushed. Once the clock hits 2:15 PM, the doors close, and nobody gets in after that.

Important Exam Day Instructions

Inside the exam room, only specific items are permitted. Candidates may bring an admit card, a picture ID, a transparent water bottle, and a blue or black ballpoint pen. Electronic devices such as cell phones, calculators, smartwatches, Bluetooth devices, and other gadgets are strictly prohibited. Any candidate found to have engaged in unfair practices will be immediately eliminated.

After the exam, candidates must remain seated until all OMR response sheets have been collected, at which point they must sign their admit card in front of the invigilator.
