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.

There are a total of 24 NLUs that form the consortium of NLUs.
The CLAT 2026 exam will be conducted in the first week of December 2025.
With an All India SC category rank of 1561 in CLAT, you have a strong chance of getting admission into several National Law Universities through the counselling rounds. Based on past year trends, this rank can fetch you a seat in NLUs like NLIU Bhopal, HNLU Raipur, RGNUL Patiala, and possibly even higher-ranked ones like WBNUJS Kolkata or NLU Jodhpur depending on how cutoffs move in the later rounds.
SC category cutoffs for top NLUs tend to vary each year, but many of them have admitted students with SC ranks between 1500 and 3000, especially in rounds 2 and 3. Your chances increase further if you list a wide range of NLUs in your preference order during counselling. Also, make sure to complete all required counselling steps, document verification, and preference locking on time to avoid missing out.
With your rank, you're well-positioned to get a seat—just stay active in the admission process and keep checking updates from the CLAT consortium.
Dear student,
For Delhi University’s BA LLB program through CLAT, EWS category admissions last year (2024) typically closed around a rank of 1100 to 1200. This means if you scored around 90–95 marks in CLAT, you had a good chance of getting in. The exact cut-off can change slightly each year depending on competition and seat availability, but staying within the top 1200 is generally safe for EWS candidates.
The cutoff for DU BA LLB for CLAT ews has not been released yet.You can check the cutoff in this website after notification of release of cutoff - https://clat2024.consortiumofnlus.ac.in/clat-2024/
Yes, you can get direct admission into BBA LLB at VIPS (Vivekananda Institute of Professional Studies) with 82 percent in your Class 12 exams, but not without appearing in CLAT or IPU CET.
VIPS is affiliated with Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU), and admissions to BBA LLB are done strictly through entrance exams. The primary mode of admission is through CLAT UG, as GGSIPU has adopted CLAT scores for law programs in recent years. Previously, the IPU CET was used for law admissions, but that has been phased out for integrated law courses like BBA LLB.
So, even with a good Class 12 score, you cannot get admission into VIPS for BBA LLB without a valid CLAT score. The university does not allow direct management quota admissions outside the entrance process for its law programs. You may need to wait for the next CLAT attempt or consider private universities that allow direct admission based on 12th marks.
All the best!
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:
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 !
