The extension changes only the application, fee-payment and correction deadlines. It does not change the AILET 2027 examination date (Sunday, 13 December 2026, 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM), the programmes on offer, or the eligibility conditions in the 7 August 2026 admission announcement. The fee-payment window is for candidates who have already registered but have not paid; the correction window closes at 8:00 AM on 15 November 2026, after which the University will accept no correction requests.

Registration extended by three days
National Law University Delhi has extended the last date for submission of online application forms for AILET 2027 to 13 November 2026. In a notification dated 11 November 2026, issued in continuation of its admission announcement of 7 August 2026 for the B.A.LL.B. (Hons.) and LL.M. programmes for academic year 2027-28, the University states that online applications will close at 11:59 PM on 13 November 2026.
The extension moves the deadline by three days: the admission announcement had fixed the last date for submission of online application forms as Tuesday, 10 November 2026. The examination itself is unaffected — AILET 2027 will be held on Sunday, 13 December 2026, from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM.
Fee payment open till the morning of 14 November
Candidates who have started the online registration process but have not completed the fee payment may do so until 8:00 AM on 14 November 2026. The notification states that fee payment requests received after 8:00 AM on 14 November 2026 will not be entertained, and advises candidates to complete all formalities well in advance to avoid last-minute technical or transactional issues.
The application fee fixed in the admission announcement is Rs 3,000, and Rs 1,000 for SC/ST candidates and persons with disabilities.
Correction window closes on 15 November
All successfully registered candidates must log in to their AILET 2027 portal account and verify the accuracy of their application details, particularly personal details such as name and parents' names and residential address, photograph, scanned signature and test city preferences. Candidates may update these details on the portal until 8:00 AM on 15 November 2026.
The notification states that no request for corrections or modifications will be accepted after this deadline.
PwD guidelines and helpdesk
The University has already issued guidelines for persons with disabilities appearing in AILET 2027, available on its website. Candidates who have applied under the PwD category must possess a valid certificate issued by the competent authority; certificates not issued by the competent authority will not be accepted, and without a valid certificate a candidate will neither be considered for horizontal reservation under the PwD category nor be entitled to compensatory time.
For assistance, candidates may contact the helpdesk on 011-40787555 or by email at ailet@nludelhi.ac.in. The University advises candidates to visit its website regularly for the latest updates and announcements on AILET 2027.
BANTHRY ANALYSISFor law students
Treat the three dates as three separate deadlines, not one. Applying is the first step: the form must be submitted by 11:59 PM on 13 November. Paying the fee is a separate step with its own cut-off at 8:00 AM on 14 November, and it applies to candidates who have registered but not yet paid. Correcting the form is a third step, open until 8:00 AM on 15 November.
The practical risk the notification guards against is a completed-looking application that is in fact incomplete: a form submitted without the fee, or with a wrong photograph, signature or test city, is not a finished application. Check each of the three steps against its own deadline, and keep the helpdesk details to hand if the portal fails close to a cut-off.
READING PROMPTSQuestions for a closer reading
- A candidate registered for AILET 2027 on 10 November but has not paid the fee. By when must the fee be paid, and what happens to a payment request made after that time?
- A candidate notices on 14 November that the photograph in their application is wrong. Can they still correct it, and until when?
- Does the 11 November notification change the date of the AILET 2027 examination? What does it change, and what does it leave unchanged?
