Change in Pattern of AILET 2023
- The pattern for AILET 2023 was changed last year. The new pattern omitted the Legal Reasoning and Quantitative Aptitude sections, leaving the paper with three sections- Reading Comprehension, Logical Reasoning and Current Affairs.
- Reading Comprehension section would have 50 questions, Logical Reasoning- 70 questions, and Current Affairs would have 30 questions.
- This pattern was largely followed in the paper, however, the style or format of asking questions was changed.
- It was slightly lengthy, as compared to AILET 2022. Candidates can score well despite that as solving the paper would be manageable, with good reading and comprehension speed.
- The paper was divided into two parts- Part 1 and Part 2.
- Part 1 consisted of two sections- Reading Comprehension and Logical Reasoning, while Part 2 was Current Affairs. Instead of giving English and Logical Reasoning Questions separately, the two parts were merged. This increased the challenging nature of the paper.
- In Part 1- a total of 10 passages were asked, each having 12 questions.
- Out of these, 5 were from Reading Comprehension section, while 7 were from Logical Reasoning.
Reading Comprehension Section
Difficulty level : This section had a moderate difficulty level.
In this section, questions asked were generally paragraph-based, like inferences. Apart from that, questions were also asked from topics such as tone of passage, vocabulary, simple grammar rules, literary devices, analogies, sentence completion or correction, etc, which were expected. Questions were mostly passage-based, and required intensive reading and comprehension.
Logical Reasoning Section
Difficulty level : This section had a moderate to difficult difficulty level.
Questions were asked from Analytical Reasoning topics like Blood Relations, Directions, different types of direct and indirect data arrangements, etc. Critical Reasoning questions were mostly inferential- like truth of premises, syllogisms, etc. All of them were passage-based. Some of them also required application of basic Maths. The nature of questions asked was surprising, not following patterns of previous years.
This was, perhaps, the most difficult section of the paper.
Current Affairs Section
Difficulty level : This section had relatively easier difficulty level.
Questions were mostly asked from the last six months, i.e. after AILET 2022. It was largely current affairs inclined, with around 8 static GK questions being asked as well. Questions were regarding topics like awards, sports, important dates, “firsts” in sports, appointments, etc. A surprisingly significant number of questions were asked from sports.
While the current affairs related questions were moderate in nature, the questions asked on static GK were fairly easy.
Overall the paper was lengthy and would not be categorized as easy. It was moderate in nature, with maximum questions moderate in nature, and some difficult.
With this analysis in mind, the AILET 2023 cut-off can be said to be lower than previous years.
