AILET Marks vs Rank 2026 – Merit List, Tie-Break, Expected Cutoff

After the AILET 2026 exam, candidates often seek clarity on the difference between their marks and rank, which are crucial for the merit list and admission process at NLU Delhi. The marks represent the total correct answers in the exam, while the rank depends on candidate performance relative to others and the difficulty level of the exam. The AILET result will determine the qualified candidates, who will then participate in the counselling process to secure seats in the respective programs.

 

AILET Tie-Breaking Method

In case of candidates obtaining equal marks, the following tie-breaking rules apply:

 

BA LLB Program

  1. Higher marks in Logical Reasoning section.
  2. Seniority by age.
  3. Computerized draw of lots, if the tie persists.

 

LLM Program

  1. Seniority by age.
  2. Computerized draw of lots.

These rules ensure fair merit ranking when multiple candidates score similarly.
