CLAT NLUs Consortium: The Consortium of National Law Universities (NLUs) or CLAT Consortium is a group of 24 NLUs that conducts the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT). From CLAT 2025 onwards, two additional universities are part of the Consortium of NLUs namely RPNLU Prayagraj and IIULER Goa. The consortium of NLUs was first established on August 19, 2017, with the objectives of improving the legal education of the country and ensuring better management and coordination among all the national law universities. Over the years, the CLAT Consortium has evolved into an organization that is well-organized, effective and transparent in conducting the national-level law entrance exam.
The governing body of the Consortium includes vice-chancellors of all participating NLUs. The main objective of the consortium is to conduct the Common Law Admission Test and complete the CLAT admission process.
The CLAT consortium is a grouping of 24 NLUs who have come together with the common objective of taking legal education in India on par with global standards. The group's efforts have yielded results and several top NLUs are considered on par in the legal education field as are IITs for engineering and IIMs for management education.
Previously Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) was conducted by National Law Universities on a rotational basis. However, to make the CLAT more organized, transparent and effective and to promote legal education in the country, around 18 NLUs came together and formed the Consortium of National Law Universities or CLAT Consortium on August 19, 2017. In later years, four more universities joined the CLAT Consortium. Today, except National Law University, Delhi, all other NLUs are part of CLAT Consortium. NLU Tripura and GNLU Silvasa are newly established NLUs and have joined the consortium recently.

Hello!
CLAT scores around 41–45 marks are typically quite low for admission into top NLUs through the general category. Most NLUs cut off above 80–90+ marks for BA LLB admissions. If you're applying under a reserved category (e.g. SC, ST, OBC), there’s some chance at lower-ranked NLUs, but general category seats at NLUs are highly competitive.
However, many private law colleges accept CLAT scores and may provide good studies and reasonable placement opportunities. These colleges often have higher cutoffs and inclusive selection. If you are keen to pursue law, consider applying to these institutions as well. And if you're motivated, you could also aim to improve your CLAT score next year many students do exactly that for better prospects.

1. UPES Dehradun
2. ICFAI Law School, Hyderabad
3. Alliance University, Bangalore
4. VIT School of Law
5. Amity Law School, Noida

Hi dear candidate,
Your rank of 4032 in CLAT exam with EWS appears to be insufficient for admission in IP University colleges as the category wise cut off for IPU colleges is lower than your rank at least for the top tier colleges like VIPS and MAIMS.
The majority of seats are reserved for students with Delhi domicile in IPU colleges and if you belong to outside Delhi then, it's slightly difficult.
However, some colleges like Trinity (TIIPS) in Dwarka accepted admissions for Law at higher rank of around 8,000 so you might also have a chance there.
Otherwise, you can find top Law colleges in Delhi NCR at our official website:
