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.
