AILET 2027 Exam City Changed in Odisha; Candidates Can Edit Preference Until November 15
NLU Delhi has announced an important change in the examination city for AILET 2027 in Odisha. The university has replaced Bhubaneswar with Cuttack as the designated examination city for candidates appearing in the upcoming All India Law Entrance Test.
Candidates who had selected Bhubaneswar as their first-choice examination city will now be required to appear for the entrance examination in Cuttack. The change may require affected candidates to revise their travel and accommodation plans before the examination.

The AILET 2027 examination schedule has not been changed. The entrance test will be conducted on Sunday, December 13, 2026, from 2 PM to 4 PM, as previously announced by National Law University Delhi.
NLU Delhi has also allowed candidates to change their first-choice examination city if they do not wish to appear in Cuttack following the replacement of Bhubaneswar. The facility to revise the preferred examination city will remain available until November 15, 2026.
Candidates who want to select another examination city can make the change through their AILET login. Applicants should access their account on the official admission portal and review the available option for modifying the first-choice examination city preference.
The university has advised candidates to complete any required modification within the prescribed period. After the deadline, applicants may no longer have the opportunity to revise their examination city preference under the facility currently provided by NLU Delhi.

The development comes shortly after the university extended the deadline for submitting AILET 2027 applications. According to the announced schedule, eligible candidates were allowed to submit their application forms until 11.59 PM on November 13, 2026.
Candidates affected by the Bhubaneswar-Cuttack change should carefully check their application details and decide whether they wish to continue with Cuttack or choose another available city as their first preference.
Applicants should also keep track of further announcements relating to examination centres, admit cards and other instructions. Official notifications issued by NLU Delhi will remain the primary source of information regarding any further changes connected with AILET 2027.
With less than a month remaining before the examination, candidates should ensure that their examination city preference and other application details are correct. Those planning to modify their preference must complete the process by November 15, 2026.
