My clat rank is 21k, and my sc category rank is around 1k. For which nlu should I apply for in vacancy round? As well as I wanted to know about the cutoff for SC candidate in AILET. My AIR is 5XXX, and my AIR in SC category is 17X

hey, Having a CLAT rank of 21,000 and an SC category rank of approximately 1,000, you may get a good chance by applying to NLUs in which SC category seats remain unfilled. At this rank extend, there are routinely open positions at state NLUs or more current NLUs with reserved seats SC candidates. Focus on appying to NLUs such as NLU Jodhpur, NLU Odisha or NLU Tamil Nadu, which occasionally have vacancies in saved categories. As well, monitor the CLAT guiding entry in terms of opening overhauls and participate in spot rounds properly.
