CLAT 2026 & AILET 2026 Clash on Same Day: What Should Aspirants Do?

 

A historic overlap alerts aspirants: both CLAT and AILET scheduled on Sunday, December 7, 2025, 2–4 PM. Prepare for tough decisions—but don’t panic.

AILET was announced first by NLU Delhi on June 17, 2025, with its exam date confirmed for December 7, 2025 while CLAT, governed by the Consortium of NLUs, released its official notification on July 20, 2025, opting for the same slot. This clash stems from poor cross-communication.

Clash Implications: Decision Time for Aspirants

1. Register for Both (For Now)
   With registrations opening on August 1, 2025, students have time. Experts say it’s wise to apply to both exams, as it’s possible one may reschedule

2. Prepare Strategically
   CLAT’s broader syllabus requires added focus on legal reasoning and quantitative questions. AILET prepares you well in logical and verbal domains.

3. Stay Alert for Rescheduling
   Analysts believe at least one authority may shift its exam date. Meanwhile, submitting polite feedback requesting rescheduling might tip the scales.

4. Prioritise Based on Goals
   If NLU Delhi is your dream, AILET holds precedence. For broader NLU preferences, CLAT is essential.

Dear Aspirants the clash is a stress test—but also a chance to exercise agency. With smart planning and a calm mindset, both exams can be managed effectively. Clatgurukul.in is here as your ally throughout the process!
