The AILET 2026 exam maintained a familiar and predictable format, with no unexpected elements for candidates. Although the paper was moderately lengthy, it remained manageable for well-prepared students. Considering the paper's overall attemptability and its close resemblance to last year's structure, a high cut-off is expected, similar to previous year levels.
The English section comprised six reading comprehension passages, exactly in line with last year’s pattern. The section was passage-intensive and tested reading speed, comprehension, and accuracy.

FFor a detailed section-by-section dissection, go over the detailed analysis of the sections and check which portions contribute to the most questions in AILET 2025.
The difficulty level of this section was easy-moderate. Compared to last year's AILET paper which had 7 passages, this year the total number of passages was only 6. However, they were easy to read, and most questions were direct except for close choices in some cases.
The General Knowledge section in this year's paper was a good mix of static general knowledge and current affairs. This section was a challenge and definitely the most difficult among the three sections. While some questions were easy, students would have found the static general knowledge-based questions difficult.
Compared to previous years, this section had more questions from analytical reasoning. However, they were easy. The section was lengthier but the questions on analytical reasoning like series, coding, and arrangements were easy and compensated for the overall length of the section. The section difficulty level is easy-moderate. There were 8 questions on legal reasoning which were direct.
Overall, the paper of AILET-2025 was a mixed bag. AILET has always been about surprises. Kudos to NLU Delhi for creating, what can be considered an error-proof paper.
Based on students' reactions and other parameters including difficulty level, AILET 2025 cutoffs are expected to be around 105-106. Don't be surprised, if it goes up by a couple of marks.
