The expected AILET 2026 score for this rank range is likely between 119 and 121 marks. For the LL.M. program, the AILET 2026 cut-off rank for the General category is predicted to be around 50 or below.

While the CLAT Exam is held for NLUs, it is not for NLU Delhi. So, candidates who wish to get admission at NLU Delhi will have to clear AILET Exam and score expected cutoff. 

The AILET 2026 paper was of moderate level overall. Most students said it felt balanced, with no part too easy or too tough. Those who kept good accuracy and managed time well could attempt many questions comfortably.

Getting 79 in AILET is kind of a fair score, but it depends on how hard the exam was that year. Sometimes the cutoff goes high, sometimes low. For general category, top ranks usually need around 85 or more. Still, your AILET 2026 score of 79 might stand close if the paper was tough overall.
