On Question asked by student community
Hello,
If you are from Delhi and appearing for CLAT, then you come under the General (All India) category, as CLAT reservation is based on the domicile of NLUs, and Delhi does not have a National Law University under CLAT (NLU Delhi conducts AILET separately).So, you can apply for CLAT through All India Quota, and if you don’t get a seat in NLUs. You can apply through CLAT, AILET, or private law colleges like Amity, Symbiosis, or IPU for admission.
Keep both CLAT and AILET options open to maximize your chances.
Hope you understand.

Hello,
Yes, if a student is from Telangana, they can apply for a reserved seat in CLAT only if they belong to a reserved category such as SC, ST, OBC, EWS, or PwD, as per the rules of CLAT and the participating National Law Universities (NLUs).
However, please note:
CLAT does not have a separate “Telangana state quota.”
Reservation is given based on category , not on the state, except in some NLUs that offer domicile (state) reservation for their own state students.
So, if you are from Telangana, you can:
Apply under your category reservation (like SC/ST/OBC/EWS) .
And you may get Telangana domicile reservation only in those NLUs that are located in Telangana (for example, NALSAR University of Law, Hyderabad ).
Hope it helps !
Hi Dear Candidate!!
For VITEEE (VIT Engineering Admission), a safe zone generally means scoring around 110–120 out of 125 or securing a rank under 25,000 for most B.Tech branches at VIT Vellore. Other campuses like Chennai, Bhopal, or Amaravati may have slightly lower cutoffs, around ranks 25,000–40,000, depending on the branch. Highly competitive branches like Computer Science or Electronics usually require higher scores, while less competitive branches may have slightly lower requirements.
For CLAT (National Law University Admission), a safe score for top NLUs such as NLU Delhi, Bangalore, or Hyderabad is around 140–145 out of 150 for General category students. Mid-tier NLUs usually require scores in the 120–135 range. Keep in mind that category-wise variations and yearly fluctuations in applicants can slightly change the cutoffs, so aiming higher than these predicted scores is always recommended to ensure a seat.
