How does NLU Delhi select candidates through AIET?
Indian candidates are selected on their AIET merit, while foreign nationals and Indian IP Office (CGPDTM) officers follow a separate route.
- PGIP: selection is solely on the basis of AIET.
- IP Law M.A./LL.M. (Indian nationals): admission on merit in AIET.
- Foreign nationals and CGPDTM officers (IP programme): no AIET; preliminary screening (30%), two short essays (40%) and an interview (30%).
- Ph.D.: as set out in the Ph.D. notification.
In 2026 classes for the PGIP and IP programmes began on 3 August 2026, so the 2027-28 batch is expected to start in August 2027.
