The AILET Answer Key is an important document for candidates who appear for the All India Law Entrance Test conducted by National Law University Delhi (NLU Delhi). It allows candidates to compare their responses with the answers provided by the examination authority and calculate their probable score before the result is announced.

Candidates should always check the latest notification before relying on the answer key, objection process, fee or deadlines.

AILET Answer Key Objection Process

If you believe an answer is incorrect or a question has an issue, you may be able to submit an objection during the objection window announced by NLU Delhi.

The university provides specific instructions about the objection procedure, deadline, fee and supporting documents. Candidates should follow only the instructions mentioned in the official notification.

An objection submitted through an incorrect channel may not be considered.

Steps to Raise an Objection

  1. Log in to the official AILET portal.

  2. Open the answer key objection section.

  3. Select the question you want to challenge.

  4. Verify the question number with the Master Question Booklet.

  5. Select or enter the reason for your objection.

  6. Upload supporting material if required.

  7. Pay the prescribed objection fee, if applicable.

  8. Submit the objection before the deadline.

  9. Save the acknowledgement or submission details.

Make sure your objection has a clear reason. If supporting evidence is requested, provide relevant and reliable material.

AILET Objection Fee

NLU Delhi may charge a fee for submitting objections against individual questions. The applicable fee, payment method and refund conditions can change according to the examination notification.

Candidates should check the official answer key notice for the exact fee before submitting an objection.

Do not wait until the last moment. Complete the process before the objection window closes because late submissions may not be accepted.

How to Calculate AILET Score

Candidates can use the official answer key to estimate their probable score.

For the undergraduate examination, the paper structure has included 150 questions carrying 150 marks, with 0.25 marks deducted for each incorrect answer.

The basic formula is:

Estimated Score = Correct Answers − (Incorrect Answers × 0.25)

Example

Suppose you answered:

  • Correct answers: 120

  • Incorrect answers: 20

  • Unanswered questions: 10

Your estimated score would be:

120 − (20 × 0.25) = 115 marks

Unanswered questions do not add marks or attract negative marks under this marking approach.

Your calculated score should be treated as an estimate. NLU Delhi determines the official result and merit position according to its prescribed evaluation process.

Provisional vs Final AILET Answer Key

The provisional answer key is released first. It gives candidates an opportunity to check the answers and raise objections within the specified period.

The university reviews the objections before preparing the final answer key.

The final answer key reflects the answers accepted by the examination authority after the objection process. Candidates should use the final key as the main reference when checking their responses.

Once the final answer key is finalised, further objections may not be accepted.

What Happens After the AILET Answer Key?

After the answer key and objection process, NLU Delhi announces the AILET result. Candidates can check their marks, rank and other result information through the official admission portal.

Candidates who meet the required merit and category conditions may be invited to participate in the next stage of the admission process.

The admission process can include counselling or registration activities as prescribed by NLU Delhi. Candidates should carefully follow the instructions provided in the official admission notice.

How to Use the Answer Key Effectively

The answer key is useful for more than calculating your expected marks. You can also use it to understand your performance.

After checking your answers, review:

  • Questions you answered incorrectly

  • Questions where you made avoidable mistakes

  • Topics where your accuracy was low

  • Questions that took too much time

  • Questions you guessed

  • Sections where you performed well

This analysis can help you understand your strengths and areas that need improvement.
