    Sansar Singh ChhikaraUpdated on 17 Dec 2025, 12:59 PM IST

    The Common Law Admission Test is the biggest law entrance exam in India. The exam is conducted once a year for admissions to 25 NLUs, one off-campus centre of GNLU Gandhinagar in Silvassa, and IIULER Goa, as well as more than 60 private law schools. Given the competitiveness of the CLAT exam, it is really important that candidates secure a good rank in the entrance exam.

In this article, we will list out the top NLUs where candidates can get admission with a CLAT rank ranging between 7000 to 8000.
