Important Next Steps for Selected Students
If your name appears on the AILET 2026 first selection list, it means you have been provisionally offered a seat at National Law University, Delhi. You must take certain steps very quickly to secure this seat and confirm your admission.
- Pay Seat Confirmation Fee: All students who have been offered a seat must pay a specific amount as a seat confirmation fee. This fee is Rs 50,000 . Paying this fee shows that you accept the seat offered.
- Deadline for Payment: You must pay this fee by January 14, 2026 . The payment must be completed before 11 AM on this specific date. It is advised to complete the transaction well before the deadline to avoid any last-minute technical problems.
- What Happens If You Don't Pay? If you fail to pay the Rs 50,000 seat confirmation fee by the deadline ( January 14, 2026, 11 AM ), your offer for admission will be cancelled immediately. You will also lose your chance to participate in any future rounds of counselling or seat allotment for AILET 2026. This means you will not be able to get admission through AILET this year.
Choosing Your Option: Freeze, Float, or Exit
After confirming your seat by paying the fee, students will also need to choose one of three options related to their seat. These options decide your path in the further admission process:
- Freeze Option: If you choose "Freeze", it means you are fully satisfied with the specific seat you have been offered in the first list. You accept this seat and confirm that you wish to finalize your admission to it. Once you choose "Freeze," you will not be considered for any other seats in any subsequent (later) counselling rounds. Your admission to the current seat is fixed.
- Float Option: If you choose "Float", it means you accept the seat you have been offered in the first list for now. However, you also wish to be considered for a seat that might be higher in your preference or more suitable, if such a seat becomes available in later rounds. If a better seat is offered in a future round, you might be able to switch to it. If no better seat is offered, you will keep the seat that was initially allotted to you in the first list.
- Exit Option: If you choose "Exit", it means you do not wish to accept the seat that has been offered to you in the first selection list. By selecting "Exit", you choose to withdraw completely from the AILET 2026 admission process. You will not be considered for any seats in this or any future rounds of counselling for AILET 2026.
