NLU Delhi‘s All India Law Entrance Test (AILET) has bitten the bullet and picked a date for its all-new offline exam.
The AILET will be held on 26 September, two days before the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT), which last week had rescheduled itself to 28 September 2020.
Also, as we had reported earlier, NLU Delhi in July had abandoned its initially emphatic plans for a home-proctored test.
Instead, AILET will now hold a “computer based test (CBT) methodology at various Centers (over one hundred) throughout the country”.
The test will be administered by the National Testing Agency (NTA).

Here's an undeniable metric for which is a Tier 1 law school and which isn't. Students who get into Tier 1 law schools don't take the CLAT or AILET again. And guess what, atleast one-two first-year students (if not more) from NLUJ, GNLU, NLIU, and even NUJS every year take a crack at both these exams for a second time. No one from any of these colleges can verifiably deny this as a fact.
But no one who gets into NLS, NALSAR or NLUD takes the law entrance exams again. For the record, it's quite rich to say that NLUJ and GNLU have better placements. They probably do in absolute numbers because people there accept tier-2 firms.
1. NLSIU, NALSAR and NLUD are the Big 3 tier 1 NLUs and in a different league.
2. How many students got into CAM or SAM means jackshit when determining which NLU is tier 1. A host of parameters need to be considered. And now you have NIRF as well.

The only thing that means jackshit is these spurious and faulty rankings. Placements are a hard fact, especially when over 50% of the student population in any institution only join law school for that, like it or not.
NLUD's original good start is in the doldrums now, with its star faculty leaving for NLSIU and the founding VC's terms already being over. With litigation emerging every year, and the VC selection process having been delayed for over a year. Even an application from the students to the Chancellor has been summarily ignored.
And no, there haven’t been “years” where a tier-1 firm has called people to not make an offer. If you were from NLUD, you’d know that it happened once and not in the way you’re describing it. The firm didn’t make an offer after the Day Zero interviews and delayed announcing the results, so the students who sat for it had got other offers and chose those instead, since you have to send in the acceptance on the night the offer is made. So there were no need for forthcoming offers after that anyway. Stop with the misinformation. If your law school is certifiably better than NLUD, then you people don’t need to keep hiding behind the “NLS is the best so NLUD is shit” argument.
For the record, I don’t think NLUD is the best and it could certainly get worse in the future like NUJS has, but most of the nonsense here is just malicious rubbish.
Disclaimer: I'm not the original claimant.
The delusion runs deep and strong. Casually stringing NLUD along with NLS in your twisted logic as if they're in any way or manner the same. NLS is a legacy brand, with its alumni deep-rooted in every field of legal service today. NLUD in comparison is absolutely in its infancy. And as far as "brand" value goes, NLUD is simply a corporate feeder, as are most other NLUs. If you're going to determine brand value basis the intake of law firms, then you'd still be wrong because plenty of other NLUs can stake claim to stellar placements that rubbish your notion of NLUD being the "only brand worth it".
Is this what you kids tell yourself, these days? NLS/NLUD or bust? Outright stupidity.
The infrastructure is also very important for an institution to determine its importance and its ranking. If infrastructure is not good then universitiy is trash. Though nlud has good infra, it could have been better, maybe like jindal, if the gov was supportive.
It organizes events throughout the year whose expenditures goes in crores. Its faculty is star studded like JINDAL, who know to teach. (It should be acknowledged that jindal has best faculty. Any random person with foreign LLM gets chance in Jindal gets to be professor because Jindal recognizes that if u have foreign llm then u must be special. )
Its a pity that it doesn't get any funding from state government to conduct conferences, workshops or mooting debating. On the other hand state gov is always interfering in the matters of NLUd.
Even then nlud has managed to do such great things that no one could dream of.
It should charge more from students in AILET. Maybe 10000. Currently it charges only 1 Rs. Whereas clat charges 4000. This is not fair nlud promises so much and is forced to charge so less, just because it is conducting a separate entrance.
I feel so jealous. God i wish that i was in nlud, then maybe I could have been an IAS officer or got some scholarship, won tons of moot. There is no cllg better than NLUd. Dont join others, you will get nothing may be only placements. NLUD should be no. 1. NLS must be bribing nirf.
