AILET PG 2024: An Easy Paper With Unorthodox Surprises

The AILET PG 2024 exam proved to be an easy paper for most test-takers, with some questions falling in the moderate difficulty range. This year, however, witnessed a significant change: questions appeared from subjects not typically covered in the exam, such as the Prevention of Sexual Harassment Act, the Sale of Goods Act, and Labour Laws. This shift surprised many and required strong foundational knowledge of the bare provisions of these laws.

Another noteworthy change was the increased focus on the Code of Civil Procedure (CPC), with several questions testing candidates' understanding of this crucial procedural law. Additionally, the Evidence Act saw a surge in questions, jumping from one or two in previous years to seven in this year's exam. Criminal Law remained consistent, with 17 questions, all of which were straightforward and direct. Unsurprisingly, the Constitution saw the highest number of questions (23), highlighting its continued importance on the AILET PG exam.

Overall, the paper's direct nature and lack of passage-based questions made it easier for test-takers to attempt and manage their time effectively. However, the inclusion of unorthodox legal topics added a layer of unexpected challenge. While the cutoff is expected to be slightly higher than last year, the exam's overall ease should benefit those who possessed a solid understanding of the core legal principles and practiced answering direct questions based on bare provisions.
