Hello
If you want to know other private/government colleges which accept the CLAT Score rather than NLUs, then many private colleges accept the CLAT score for the law course, and a few government colleges accept the CLAT exam's score.
I hope this information helps you.
Thank you

Hello,
For your mentioned rank, the top elite law universities are constrained to be limited, especially when the chance is fairly divided among reserved category people.
But apart from CLAT rank, NRI admissions have some different processes.
Some NLUs handle counselling with required eligibility and quotas. The counselling registration window is open until December 27, 2025. You can apply to know through them. Because even missing application deadlines will lessen your eligibility.
NRI admissions regarding CLAT can be applied directly with the major required document proofs.
Cutoffs to 10,000 are being allotted after regular rounds for counselling, but the course fee for this will be 10-20 lakhs per annum only if the candidate is either of these: NRI, OCI, or PIO.
