Hello

With a CLAT 2026 score, you can apply to several good private law colleges in South India apart from NLUs.
In Tamil Nadu, strong options include SASTRA University (Thanjavur) and Saveetha School of Law (Chennai).
In Karnataka, colleges like Christ University (Bangalore) and Alliance School of Law are well-reputed.
In Telangana, ICFAI Law School (Hyderabad) is a popular choice through CLAT scores. These colleges offer good academics, decent placements, and are among the best non-NLU law options in South India.

Hope it will help you

  • National Law University (NLU Delhi)
  • West Bengal National University of Juridical Sciences (WBNUJS)

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:

  1. NLU Tripura (Agartala)

  2. NLU Manipur

  3. NLU Meghalaya (Shillong)

  4. NLU Sikkim

  5. HPNLU Shimla

  6. 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.
