Hope it helps.
With an AIR around 7930 in CLAT and general women category, top NLUs may not be possible, but you still have chances in newer and lower-ranked NLUs, especially in later rounds or spot counselling. Based on previous trends, you can consider the following preference order:
NLU Tripura (Agartala)
NLU Manipur
NLU Meghalaya (Shillong)
NLU Sikkim
HPNLU Shimla
DSNLU Visakhapatnam (very limited chance, only if cut-offs drop)
Apart from NLUs, you should also apply to reputed private law colleges that accept CLAT scores, such as UPES Dehradun, Alliance University Bengaluru, Amity Law School, and NMIMS School of Law. Since you are from Lucknow, also explore state universities and private law colleges in Uttar Pradesh as backup options.
