The Consortium of National Law Universities (NLUs) have completed three rounds of counselling. Unlike previous years when the consortium conducted the counselling in five rounds, this time it wrapped up the process in just three rounds. After three rounds of admission, some vacancies in NLUs usually arise due to the withdrawal of admission or the failure of some candidates to meet admission criteria. The NLUs have now started releasing admission notifications for vacant seats. The Consortium of NLUs has also released a notification for CLAT vacant seats.
HPNLU Shimla, for example, has listed 35 vacancies in 5-year LLB courses, whereas MNLU Nagpur has 50 vacancies. These CLAT vacant seats are yet to be listed on the consortium’s website. More NLUs are expected to release the vacant seat notifications in the coming days.
NLU Shimla has invited expressions of interest from CLAT students. The university has BA LLB and BBA LLB courses. Eligible and interested candidates can register at the university website by July 05. The criteria for admission are CLAT merit rank. Here are some other details;
Application fee: Rs. 2,000/- (Rupees two thousand only), non-refundable and non-adjustable with the admission fee.
The vacant seats are available in different categories such as UR, SC, ST, HP-GC, PwD and WSRD.
