Hi Akash,

It is good to see institutions like NMIMS have selected you for master of law based on your CLAT PG scores. If we compare the three then to be very clear:

  • NMIMS Mumbai has strong reputation for it's Kirti Mehra School of Law and has got good academic value.
  • Nirma University is also another good after NMIMS, and has strong reputation for law studies in Gujarat.
  • The DNLU is comparatively newer than the other two and it will take some time to be equivalent to them.

For the best academic value and recognition choose NMIMS, or the Nirma University is also good. The DNLU is newer and can be considered as well but if we choose any one, then it is NMIMS.

ALL THE BEST !

Hope this information will help you

Securing a rank of approximately 4,000 in the CLAT PG 2025 examination may limit your chances of admission into the top National Law Universities (NLUs) for the LLM program. Historically, higher-ranked NLUs have had more stringent cut-off ranks, often requiring candidates to secure ranks well within the top 1,000 to 2,000.For instance, a CLAT PG score of 71+ marks typically corresponds to a rank of 100 or higher, while 35+ marks correspond to a rank of 4,000 or higher.

However, admission possibilities can vary based on several factors, including category reservations, domicile quotas, and the specific admission policies of each NLU. Some NLUs may have higher cut-off ranks for certain reserved categories or may offer seats to candidates with ranks around 4,000, especially in categories like OBC or EWS.

To enhance your chances of admission:

  • Review Category-Specific Cut-offs : Examine the previous years' cut-off ranks for your specific category and preferred NLUs to identify institutions where your rank may be competitive.

  • Consider Lower-Tier NLUs : Explore NLUs that have historically admitted candidates with ranks around 4,000, as they may offer viable opportunities for admission.

  • Stay Updated with Counseling Rounds : Participate actively in all counseling rounds, as seat availability and cut-off ranks can fluctuate, potentially opening opportunities in subsequent rounds.

  • Explore Alternative Institutions : In addition to NLUs, consider other reputable law schools and universities that accept CLAT PG scores and may have more accommodating admission criteria.

For personalized guidance, consider reaching out to academic advisors or utilizing official CLAT counseling resources to make informed decisions regarding your LLM admissions journey.
