The National Law University, Delhi has come out with its detailed notification for the AILET that it shall conduct on the 1st of May, 2011. NLUD is an upcoming NLU with huge potential to break into the top tier, very soon.
There are seventy seats open to Indian nationals while the rest ten seats are filled with foreign nationals.
The pattern and specifics are as follows:
| Total Marks | : 150 |
| Total number of questions | : 150 |
| Duration of the Examination | : 1 hour 30 minutes |
English : 35 marks
General Knowledge : 35 marks, comprising current affairs, general science, history, geography, economics, civics
Legal Aptitude: 35 marks
Reasoning: 35 marks
Elementary Mathematics(Numerical Ability) : 10 marks.
What’s the deal?
Unlike CLAT 2011 you can expect static GK in the NLUD AILET. Also the current affairs questions are usually very ‘current’ and of considerable importance and not obscure information.
The notification mentions ‘Legal Aptitude’ so we cannot totally rule out Legal Knowledge but as it is with NLUD, we expect only Legal Reasoning questions of a very commendable standard.
Personal Advice:
When I finished my NLUD paper 10 minutes before the time limit most people in my centre told me either my paper had gone really well or I had messed it up big time. The main trick in this exam is speed. You shall be literally racing against time while doing this paper and unlike CLAT you are sure to be in considerable hurry while solving it.
Therefore the strategy is : ‘FAST AND ACCURATE’.
Do please solve all the past NLUD papers on OMR sheets (procure these sheets from somewhere), as the ‘art of bubbling’ might just be a make or break factor. You need to be practised in it and be accurate, speed being of the utmost importance. I used to always solve the GK section first and I had my own order of solving the other sections, but this should be based on personal prefernces and competencies with the relevant sections. Last year’s paper did not have the sections marked out so don’t waste time flipping through pages trying to find your section of comfort first. Get the paper and jump at it!
With the good God’s grace I managed to get AIR 2 in the exam. Rupali was AIR 4, another of our CG editors. Both of us agree that NLUD is not just a wonderful paper in terms of the level of reasoning but it also tests your accuracy, given the time factor.
That’s all the Gyan as of now!
Cheers!

how did u prepare for it? i mean, AIR 2 is simply awesome, dreamlike………it would be great to know your study plan in brief!!please enlighten on the same, specially how did u go about the prep after boards?
Hey, they say the DD, for the Previous Years’s Papers should be drawn in favour of ‘Registrar, National Law University, Delhi’.
I happen to have sent the DD yesterday morning in favour of ‘NLU Delhi’.
Think they’ll accept it?
PS : Do correct the same on your post regarding the Previous Years’ Papers.
Paaras, You can give the DD back to the bank. (same branch from where you got the DD). They’ll deduct a nominal amount and give back your money. Also, if you want to send the DD as it is, they might still accept it considering that its a mistake. However, this is little risky. (Send a letter with purpose of the payment along with the DD)
Sirji, I SENT the DD, yesterday. :p
Kata ho gaya. :/
Acha… No worries… You’ll get the papers!
*katta
You will get it. I got mine yesterday. I too had sent it as payable to “NLU Delhi”.
Righto !
Danke !
how long did it take to reach you ?
PPS : Thanx for the report ! 😀
Awesome!! 🙂
A very good quote….my favourite from Macbeth…….
since static gk is included,how much time is optimum for its preparation?
Air 2… woah! What was the prep strategy???
” no strategy man..jus do the lst materials..and past years..grab an omr sheet and do some practice..and finally..take the mocks..very seriously.” – Sandipan De

Ok Premangsu here has quoted me out of context. That is what I told him since he is an LST kid and keeping in mind, his preparation. Generally, please follow what I prescribed in the above post.

NLUO will conduct its own admission test (NLUOAT) on 19th June 2011. “
Achha has anybody filled the NLU D form yet ?
I had some doubts –
a) In the category section there are 8 blocks. So if I am a general candidate..will I have to tick any of the first two or both or only the first ?
b) Will I staple the four pages or just let them be the way they are ?
c) If I am born on the 1st…what shall I write in the ‘day’ section of AGE. 0 ??
I have the same doubts too!!! (except for the third one..)
I think we should only check the first block.
And this may sound stupid but… what kind of envelope is to be used? A big A-4 size or the normal sized?
Further, while using the regular envelope, is it fine to fold the form?
(I’m a newbie to these things so excuse me for the stupidity).
And yes, for the age thing, check this website. Enter the required dates and note it down as it is.

I can’t clear ur first doubt cuz i’m also confused ya but the second one is quite silly yes u need to staple all the pages even the documents and the DD too and about the envelope u need the big A-4 size don’t fold the form
@Mrinal: Thanks for the info. 🙂 (To be honest, I had a clear picture of a folded form in my mind 😉
Thanks for helping out.
Good luck!
Thank you for the age calculator website. Helped. 🙂
You’re welcome mate! What about the other doubts Premangsu posted?
Do u have any clues?
Ha no idea. I am waiting for the better minds to reply. 😀
Is it too late to order lst modules?? :-/ Will they still have them?
@ Divya – LST ? U ask me. 😀
It’s never too late for anything in LST…just make sure that you are carrying your purse with all the ‘proper’ notes inside. Good Luck 🙂
True LSTian Premangsu! 😀
You bet ! 😀
But you can’t beat them. They have got the most number of students – the most well researched materials – and specially designed mocks to prick your self confidence to the innermost core !
Some paradox eh ? 😛
You wait till our mock is up.
Aymen, dont scare us man.
I am going to appear for NLUD 2011 and i have proceeded to fill the form but no information has been provided regarding the details of demand draft. can someone please help me out for this??

@Premangsu : Thanks. You make a compelling case. Makes me feel I should have joined LST. :-/ But, then again, one mock from clatgyan was convincing enough to rid me of the guilt, no flattery intended. :-D. I’m taking the LST Mocks very soon though.
