Hello,
With a CLAT AIR 3924 and EWS rank 306, and having Bihar domicile, you have a fair chance of getting into some of the Tier 3 NLUs . Based on your rank and interest to explore all fields of law, here are some better options among Tier 3 NLUs:
CNLU Patna – Since you have Bihar domicile, this is your best chance. Also, it's closer to home, and the exposure is better compared to other Tier 3 NLUs.
HNLU Raipur – You might get it in later rounds. It has decent exposure and growing opportunities.
DSNLU Visakhapatnam – It’s improving slowly, and the placements are also picking up.
MNLU Nagpur or Aurangabad – These are new but have decent faculty and infrastructure. Placement is still developing.
What Can you do to get Seat :-
Keep CNLU as first preference due to your domicile and good chance.
After that, go for HNLU, DSNLU, MNLUs, and others based on seat availability.
Since you want to explore all fields of law, look for NLUs with active societies, mooting culture, internships, and alumni network.
Hope it helps !
