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.
DEAR STUDENT,
For candidates outside Delhi 15% of the total seats are reserved, and within this quota, Genaral EWS candidates are eligible criteria and possess a valid EWS certificate issued by the appropriate authority.
Here some colleges :
THANK YOU.
With rank of -8220, here's a realistic idea of where he can get into
1. Top NLUs (I-III) Like NLSU Bengaluru, NALSAR Hyderabad, WBNUJS Kolkata, and NLIU Bhopal need much higher rank (-100 - 450), so they won't be reachable,.
2. Mid- tier NLUs such as HNLU Raipur (-765), NLU Jodhpur (-357), RMLNLU Lucknow (-721), GNLU Gandhinagar (-402), NLUO Cuttack (-943), and DSNLU Vizag (-1,390) Are still out of reach.
3. With rank - 8220, he might qualify for NLU state quotas or lower - ranked NLUs, but that depends heavily on :
4. Private law college accepting CLAT scores (like Amity, nirma, alliance , etc) are a great fallback and ofter take candidates with ranks up to 20,000+
Hello Rajdeep,
You have a good chance of getting into the following NLUs under the OBC Category (cut-offs from previous years, which may change slightly) with an All India Rank of 2754 and an OBC rank of 314 in CLAT 2025:
Hello,
Your CLAT 2025 rank of 21,177 places you beyond the typical cutoff range for OBC-A (West Bengal domicile) candidates seeking admission to WBNUJS Kolkata .
In Round 1 of CLAT 2025 counselling , the closing rank for OBC-A (WB domicile) was 10,297 for BA LLB and 13,417 for BSc LLB.
Given that only three counselling rounds are being conducted this year, compared to five in previous years, the chances of significant rank movement are limited. Also, the closing ranks for OBC-A (WB domicile) have not extended to your current rank in previous years .
So, I will suggest you to participate in all rounds of counselling, may be you can get admission if there is any seat left, also explore alternative options like state law colleges in West Bengal with OBC-A reservation.
Hope it helps !
