    The table provides below the list of top NLUs in India in which a candidate with a rank of 200 to 300 has a realistic chance of admission. The data is based on the past CLAT cut-off trends available for various categories. The top NLUs have been ranked as per the NIRF law rankings 2025.

    How the Top NLUs for CLAT Rank 200-300 have been selected?

    A CLAT rank of 300 or above is enough for all candidates to get into any NLUs. Only general category candidates with their CLAT rank 200-300 find it difficult to secure admission into tier 1 NLUs such as NLSIU and NALSAR. This is due to the higher level of competition for these premier universities and a higher CLAT cut-off for the general category. In the table below only those NLUs have been selected which are popular and appropriate for a CLAT rank as high as 200 to 300.
