  • Section B: Current Affairs & General Knowledge (30 questions; 30 marks)
  • Section C: Logical Reasoning (70 questions; 70 marks)

Legal principles may be used in the logical reasoning section to test logical aptitude, but the examination does not require more than basic knowledge of legal concepts

Marking Scheme and Selection Criteria
  • Negative Marking: Each question in AILET carries 1 mark; 0.25 points will be deducted for each incorrect answer. As a result, four incorrect responses will result in a 1-mark reduction.
  • Selection Criteria: If two or more students receive the same score, then their merit will be determined by the better score in the Logical Reasoning component. If the merit remains the same, the older applicant will be given precedence. If there is still no change in merit, the automated draw of lots will be considered.
