Where to Check & Download the AILET First Selection List
Once declared, the AILET First Selection List 2026 will be accessible through your AILET 2026 login dashboard on the official NLU Delhi website. Initially, no public PDF will be published; candidates must log in to view their individual status, category-wise merit position, and admission instructions.
Direct download links for the first selection list and cut-off details will be activated on the official portal once the list is live.
Expected Cut-off & Category-Wise Ranks (Indicative)
Although NLU Delhi does not officially release category-wise cut-off figures, trends from the selection blog suggest expected closing ranks for each category in the first list:
| Category | Expected Closing Rank (2026) |
| General | 50 to 60 |
| OBC - NCL | 350 to 420 |
| EWS | 180 to 300 |
| SC | 1300 to 1600 |
| ST | 2000 to 2700 |
These ranges indicate where the closing ranks for various categories could fall, based on merit list movement and competition trends.
