AILET Exam Pattern
AILET (All India Law Entrance Test)
The AILET exam pattern below is checked stage by stage, so one stage cannot inherit another stage's scoring rules.
English and Logical Reasoning
Official 2026 pattern| Questions | 24 |
| Total marks | 24 |
| Duration | 19 minutes |
| Negative marking | 0.25 per wrong answer |
| Sections | English, Logical Reasoning |
| Test | Qs | Marks | Min |
|---|---|---|---|
| English | 10 | 10 | — |
| Logical Reasoning | 14 | 14 | — |
Timing: Single composite 19-minute timer for both sections combined: no sectional lock, matching the official test's single continuous session.
The official AILET UG written test has 150 questions for 150 marks in 2 hours, 1 mark per correct answer and 0.25 marks deducted per wrong answer, across three sections: English Language (50 questions), Logical Reasoning (70 questions), and Current Affairs and General Knowledge (30 questions). This mock covers English and Logical Reasoning only, in the same 5:7 proportion as the official exam: 24 questions (10 English, 14 Logical Reasoning) in 19 minutes. Current Affairs and General Knowledge is not covered, since it depends on facts that carry higher correctness risk for self-authored content.

Timing: Single composite 120-minute timer for the Full Mock; no sectional lock, representing the official AILET LL.M. offline OMR test..
AILET LL.M. (One Year) is a separate offline OMR test from AILET UG, with 100 questions for 100 marks in 2 hours, +1 correct and -0.25 wrong. All 100 questions are newly authored across broad doctrinal branches of law (Constitutional Law, Contract, Torts, Criminal Law, Administrative Law, Jurisprudence, Public International Law, Property Law, Family Law, Company Law, Environmental Law, Intellectual Property, Evidence, Civil Procedure, and Alternative Dispute Resolution), each applying a stated legal principle to a self-contained scenario rather than requiring memorised case names, section numbers, or dates — the same safety property as CLAT PG's resolved format. This resolves an earlier rejection of AILET LL.M. in this project's history, which had assumed the paper explicitly tests LLB-level legal-knowledge recall with no safe reasoning-only format available.
