Overall AILET 2019 Paper Analysis

Those students who had attempted a good number of AILET 2019 mock tests, for them the paper was doable although it was practically impossible to attempt all the questions. According to the experts, Critical Reasoning and Legal GK sections will play a crucial role in deciding who and how many would make it to the AILET 2019 cutoff list.

AILET 2017 Exam Analysis

National Law University, Delhi conducted All India Law Entrance Test (AILET) 2017 on May 7 in 20 test centres across the country. The examination started at 3:00 PM, and continued until 4.30 PM.

After the examination, some of the experts were of the opinion that the AILET 2017 was difficult compared to other law entrance examinations like LSAT India and CLAT. AILET 2017 was difficult, and the experts termed it as the toughest paper since 2013.

After taking the examination, students expressed their dissatisfaction, as they were not able to attempt all the questions on time. Most of the students felt that the paper was lengthy and tough. They were of the opinion that 90 minutes were not sufficient to answer 150 questions.

Even though the paper was difficult, students hoped that the cut-offs would be lower as compared to the previous year.

A student who appeared for the exam said that the G.K and Logical Reasoning sections were a little difficult while English was easy. The Legal Aptitude section was also on the easier side. However, he faced difficulty in managing the time.

Another student expressed that she was not able to complete the Mathematics section, and left most of the questions. She also expressed that GK and Logical Reasoning were tough. Managing time became a challenging task during the examination, she added.

One of the examinees gave a mixed reaction on the paper. He said that the paper was neither difficult nor easy, terming it as average. All the questions were tough except English. He was unable to complete all the sections on time.

From the above opinions, it is evident that the nature of questions consumed more time due to which students failed to answer all the questions.
