Thank you

There are some around 3000 seats in all the NLUs. The last rank goes upto 9000 for a seat in an NLU even in tier 3 nlus. Considering your rank and your category, it will not be possible for you to get in any of the NLU.

Last year The opening and closing ranks for the general category for the B.A. LL.B. (Hons.) course were 656–1390, and for the OBC category they were 2068–2940. The closing ranks for the first and last rounds of the B.A. LL.B. (Hons.) course were 1233 and 1390, respectively.

BUT keep checking websites of each university on regular intervals. What generally happens is, students take admission and then they leave the university. This happens around a month after the admission. In such a case University calls up for individual applications. It is not necessary that the University will call up for next best rank to fill up the seat. So if you get such notification, apply right away.

Secondly, you don't need to be disheartened. You can join any private college for now or keep preparing for CLAT 2026. Since age is not the bar now, you can give CLAT any number of times.

All the best :)

GC-KA in the CLAT merit list refers to General Category - Karnataka. This classification indicates that the candidate belongs to the General Category and holds domicile from Karnataka. Many law universities have a state domicile reservation, meaning they reserve a certain percentage of seats for candidates who are residents of that state. If you fall under GC-KA, you are eligible to apply for seats under this quota. To claim the Karnataka domicile quota, it’s crucial to provide proper documentation during the application process. These documents typically include a domicile certificate, proof of residence, or any other government-issued document verifying your Karnataka residency. If your name appears under GC-KA, you must ensure you meet all requirements and deadlines for document verification to secure admission. This classification is essential as it impacts the seat allotment process for Karnataka candidates in NLU seats.

Hi Jaya,

Based on your OBC category rank of 4,700 in CLAT and your domicile in Kerala, securing admission to the National University of Advanced Legal Studies (NUALS) in Kochi may be challenging.

Historically, NUALS has had competitive cutoffs, especially for the BA LLB (Hons) program.

For instance, in the 2023 admissions cycle, the closing ranks for the BA LLB (Hons) program were as follows:

• General (All India): 1,461
• General (Home State): 1,769
• OBC (Home State): 16,177

Although, admission trends vary each year due to factors like seat availability, applicant pool, and reservation policies. Hence, you can look for other potential options like -

1. National Law University, Assam (NLUJAA)

2. Hidayatullah National Law University, Raipur (HNLU)

3. Damodaram Sanjivayya National Law University, Visakhapatnam (DSNLU)

4. Tamil Nadu National Law University, Tiruchirappalli (TNNLU)

5. Government Law College, Ernakulam
