AILET 2027 registration is open today, 8 September 2026, on nationallawuniversitydelhi.in for the B.A.LL.B.(Hons.) and LL.M. programmes only, having opened 7 August 2026 and closing 10 November 2026. The application fee is Rs 3,000 for General/OBC/EWS/Foreign National candidates and Rs 1,000 for SC/ST/PwD candidates. The entrance test at National Law University Delhi is fixed for Sunday, 13 December 2026.
This is a checkpoint on the live window — what is open right now, what it costs, and what comes next — not a restatement of the exam pattern, marking scheme or seat matrix, which Veritect has already covered in AILET 2027 Guide — Exam Pattern, Marking Scheme, Eligibility and the NLU Delhi Seat Matrix. Read that guide for the paper structure and reservation table; read this one for where things stand in the calendar today.

This checkpoint corrects one assumption a candidate might carry forward from earlier coverage: AILET 2027's own registration and FAQ pages list only two programmes — the five-year B.A.LL.B.(Hons.) and the one-year LL.M. Do not assume B.Com.LL.B.(Hons.), which is a separate National Law University Delhi programme visible elsewhere on the site's navigation, is part of this AILET cycle. It is not, on the University's own current pages.
Prior Veritect Coverage, Verified Again Today
Veritect's 27 July 2026 guide recorded, from the University's 23 July 2026 notification, that AILET 2027 would be held 13 December 2026 and that forms would open 7 August 2026. Both facts have now held: the exam date is unchanged on the homepage's current notice board, and the application window did open on 7 August 2026 as scheduled. What that earlier guide could not yet confirm — the closing date and the fee — are now published and verified above.
What Is Left to Do Inside the Window
If you have not yet applied, four tasks remain between today and 10 November 2026:
- Register on the correct portal. Applications run through nationallawuniversitydelhi.in/register.html, not the archived cycle portals (2024.nationallawuniversitydelhi.in and similar), which the University keeps live only for historical reference.
- Select the correct nationality track. The registration page requires choosing Indian National or Foreign National/OCI/PIO at the outset, and this choice determines which programme options and fee amounts are shown to you.
- Pay the fee inside the window. Rs 3,000 for General/OBC/EWS/Foreign Nationals, or Rs 1,000 for SC/ST/PwD. If you believe you qualify for the SC/ST-and-women BPL exemption, confirm the University's current documentary proof requirement from the fee page before assuming the exemption applies without it.
- Hold your category certificates ready now, not after shortlisting. The University's practice in the last published cycle required OBC Non-Creamy Layer and EWS certificates to be issued within a fixed window before the admission cycle — reconfirm the exact cut-off date for AILET 2027 from the Admission Notice, since this date moves every year and was not independently re-verified in this checkpoint.
What Follows the Window — the Sequence From Here
Once the application window closes on 10 November 2026, the published sequence runs: admit card release on 30 November 2026, followed by the entrance test itself on 13 December 2026 between 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM. NLU Delhi has not yet published, as at 8 September 2026, the dates for result declaration, the certificate-verification process for reserved-category and PwD candidates, or the counselling and seat-allotment schedule that follows the result. Candidates should treat any date for those later stages, if seen elsewhere before the University itself publishes it, as unconfirmed.
Why the Fee Structure Matters Beyond the Rupee Amount
The fee schedule is not just an accounting detail — it is also a signal of which category declarations the University expects a candidate to be ready to support. The SC/ST/PwD rate of Rs 1,000, set against the general Rs 3,000, mirrors the category structure that also governs the seat matrix's reservation categories covered in Veritect's exam-pattern guide. The BPL exemption is narrower than the general SC/ST/PwD concession — it names only SC/ST candidates and women candidates who are Below Poverty Line, not the full PwD category — so a PwD candidate outside SC/ST cannot assume fee exemption on disability status alone; the concessional Rs 1,000 rate, not a waiver, is what the fee page currently states for that group.
A Note on the December Calendar Clash
Candidates applying to both AILET and CLAT 2027 should note the two entrance tests continue to sit close together on the December calendar, as flagged in Veritect's earlier exam-pattern guide. Confirm the current CLAT 2027 date directly from the Consortium of National Law Universities' own site before finalising travel or centre-preference plans around both tests in the same week.
How This Checkpoint Was Verified
Every figure in the summary table above was read directly from a live National Law University Delhi web page on 8 September 2026 — the homepage's AILET 2027 notice board, the registration page, the fee page and the FAQ page — not carried forward from the 23 July 2026 notification PDF or from any prior Veritect article. Where a fact could not be found on the University's current pages (result date, verification schedule, allotment schedule), this article states that plainly rather than estimating from a past cycle. Recheck nationallawuniversitydelhi.in yourself before the 10 November 2026 deadline, since a University notice board can be updated without a fresh press announcement.
Frequently asked questions
Is AILET 2027 registration open right now? Yes. As verified on nationallawuniversitydelhi.in on 8 September 2026, the University's own registration page states AILET 2027 registration is currently open for the B.A.LL.B.(Hons.) and LL.M. programmes, for Indian and Foreign National/OCI/PIO applicants. The window opened 7 August 2026.
When does the AILET 2027 application window close? 10 November 2026, as listed on the National Law University Delhi homepage's AILET 2027 important-dates notice. Candidates should complete both form submission and fee payment before this date, since a University's application system typically stops accepting payments at the same cut-off as form submission.
What is the AILET 2027 application fee? Rs 3,000 for General, OBC, EWS and Foreign National candidates, and Rs 1,000 for SC/ST and Persons with Disability candidates, per the University's B.A.LL.B.(Hons.) fee page. SC/ST and women candidates who are Below Poverty Line applicants are exempted from the fee entirely.
Does AILET 2027 include the five-year B.Com.LL.B.(Hons.) programme? No. The University's own registration page and FAQ page confirm AILET 2027 covers only the B.A.LL.B.(Hons.) undergraduate programme and the one-year LL.M. programme, even though B.Com.LL.B.(Hons.) appears elsewhere in the University's site navigation as a separate NLU Delhi programme.
What happens after the AILET 2027 application window closes on 10 November 2026? Based on the University's published sequence, admit cards are due 30 November 2026, and the entrance test itself is fixed for Sunday, 13 December 2026, from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Results, the certificate-verification stage and seat allotment follow the test, on a schedule the University has not yet published as at 8 September 2026.
