Syllabus
The syllabus of AILET is on the same
lines as that of CLAT. The important topics of each subject are as follows.
English
Reading Comprehension, Grammar,
Foreign Words/Phrase, Para-jumbles, Vocabulary, Spellings, Inference-based
questions, Synonyms, Antonyms, Word Usage, and Fill in the blanks. The level of
difficulty is medium and it should be a high scoring section.
General Knowledge
The questions asked in the GK
section are from two domains i.e. Static GK and current GK. Static GK questions
are questions from History, Geography, Civics, etc. while Current GK covers
major events in news for the past 1 year. Major topics are International
events, UN bodies’ Major developments in the areas of sports, geopolitics and
important environmental agreements, eminent personalities, sports, awards and
honours.
Legal Aptitude
The paper consists of mainly
questions which are reasoning based and students are not required to possess
any prior knowledge of the law. The AILET committee says that no reasoning
based questions will be asked without legal principles being given. But
sometimes, in past papers Legal GK based questions have also been given.
Students who thoroughly prepare from all usual areas such as Torts, Contracts,
and Criminal and Constitutional law should fare well in this section. Major
topics are Vicarious Liability, Strict Liability, International Law,
Intellectual Property Rights and Legal Awareness covering Constitutional Law
and Polity.
Logical Reasoning:
The Logical reasoning section has a
fair mix of Puzzles, Directions, Seating Arrangements, Blood Relations,
Syllogisms, Series, Analogy etc. The Paper also has a few questions of Critical
Reasoning. This section is fairly simple and should boost the marks of
reasonably well prepared students.
Mathematics:
In this section, knowledge on
elementary Mathematics, that is, Maths taught up to Class X will be tested.
Section has questions from topics like Number System, Profit and Loss, Ratio
and Proportion, Percentage, Geometry, Menstruation, Simple and Compound
Interest, Probability, etc. There are a few questions which require calculation
and are time consuming. However, most questions are straight forward.
