Is 30000 Good Rank in CLAT?

A good score in CLAT ranges from 85 to 100+ marks across various categories. A rank of 30000 in CLAT is therefore considered to be a low rank as candidates have limited chances of obtaining NLU admission as the CLAT cut-offs will be higher. Candidates from ST categories can gain admission into tier 3 NLus with a CLAT rank of 30000. Law aspirants with a 30000 rank in CLAT have greater chances of admission at colleges that accept low CLAT scores.

Have a question related to CLAT ?

HELLO,

With your OBC rank of 2716 and AIR 14780 , your chances at NUALS Kochi are possible , potentially even in earlier rounds , as NUALS often closes around 10000 - 15000 for general and even higher for OBC , but you should definitely aim for it and consider other NLUs like NLUJA , MNLU Nagpur in the 15K - 20K AIR range for OBC.

As your AIR of 14780 falls within the range where lower tier NLUs like NUALS Kochi often admit candidates, in later rounds or through state reservation and your OBC rank is strong for this category.

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.
