With the All India Law Entrance Test (AILET) 2025 scheduled for December 8, 2024, aspiring candidates are gearing up for the crucial exam. To ensure smooth conduct and a hassle-free experience, the National Law University (NLU) Delhi has issued important last-minute instructions that all candidates must carefully follow. Here's a concise breakdown of the guidelines to help you prepare for the big day.

Arrive Early and Be Prepared

The first and foremost instruction is to arrive at the exam center well ahead of time—at least 1.5 hours before the start of the test. This will give candidates ample time to locate their seating arrangements and avoid the rush at the entrance. Remember, the test is set to begin at 2:00 pm, and no candidate will be allowed inside the examination hall after 2:15 pm, so punctuality is crucial.

What to Bring

Candidates are allowed to carry only a few essential items into the examination hall:

  • A Blue/Black Ballpoint Pen (no sharing of writing instruments is allowed).
  • Your Admit Card, which serves as your entry pass.
  • A valid Photo ID Proof and a passport-sized photograph.
  • A transparent water bottle to stay hydrated.

It is strictly prohibited to carry any electronic gadgets, including mobile phones, digital watches, Bluetooth devices, or calculators. The only acceptable watches are analog watches.

Important Guidelines for OMR Sheet and Question Booklet

The OMR (Optical Mark Recognition) sheet is a key part of the AILET exam. Here are the crucial instructions related to it:

  • Do not open the sealed plastic envelope containing the Question Booklet and OMR sheet before 2:00 pm.
  • Once the envelope is opened, check the Question Booklet thoroughly to ensure all pages are intact. If there is any defect, notify the invigilator immediately for a replacement.
  • Only use a Blue/Black Ballpoint Pen to mark your answers on the OMR sheet. Mark each answer completely by shading the circle without leaving any spaces. Incomplete circles will not be evaluated.

Each correct answer earns you 1 mark, while incorrect answers will lead to a penalty of 0.25 marks. It’s important to mark only one option per question, as multiple markings will be considered incorrect.

Handling the OMR Sheet

The OMR response sheet is a carbonized document. Candidates must detach the second page (the carbon copy) and keep it for their reference. At the end of the exam, the first page (the original) must be submitted to the invigilator. The OMR sheet should be handled with care—do not fold, wrinkle, or tear it. Any damage to the sheet may result in disqualification.

Additional Exam Day Rules

  • The rough work should be done in the space provided at the end of the Question Booklet. No additional sheets will be provided.
  • No clarifications will be allowed during the exam. It’s essential to read all instructions carefully before the test begins.
  • Disqualification will occur for any form of misconduct, including copying, receiving help, or using prohibited materials during the exam.
  • The exam will conclude at 4:00 pm, and all OMR response sheets must be returned to the invigilators. Carrying the OMR sheet out of the exam center will lead to immediate disqualification.

Conclusion

AILET 2025 is a high-stakes exam, and following the instructions to the letter is essential for a smooth and successful experience. Arriving early, bringing only the allowed items, and paying attention to the OMR sheet instructions will ensure that you are fully prepared for the test. Finally, remember that all disputes related to the exam are subject to the jurisdiction of Delhi Courts.
