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.

Hello Vaishali
A CLAT score of 46.25 is considered low for top NLUs (National Law Universities), but you can still get a lower NLU (if reserved category) or a private college like:
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:
