Hello there,

With a rank of 2673, you might not be able to secure a seat in the top-tier NLUs as they usually close within the range of 1000-1200 rank. However, an EWS rank might help you in securing a seat in the mid-tier and newer NLUs. Here is list of NLUs , you are more likely to secure a seat in:

  1. NUSRL, Ranchi
  2. DSNLU, Visakhapatnam
  3. HPNLU, Shimla
  4. DNLU, Jabalpur
  5. DBRANLU, Sonipat

There's also chances in the mentioned below NLUs of you securing a seat in the later rounds:

  1. CNLU, Patna
  2. NLUJA, Assam
  3. MNLU, Nagpur\Aurangabad
  4. RPNLUP, Prayagraj
  5. IIULER, Goa

The key elements to consider are that, you must fill up your preference list carefully. You must keep high rank NLUs on top and then mid tier and then the newer ones. You can use the "FLAOT" option during the rounds of counseling.

I hope the information helps you.

Thankyou.

Hello,

For your mentioned rank, the top elite law universities are constrained to be limited, especially when the chance is fairly divided among reserved category people.

But apart from CLAT rank, NRI admissions have some different processes.

Some NLUs handle counselling with required eligibility and quotas. The counselling registration window is open until December 27, 2025. You can apply to know through them. Because even missing application deadlines will lessen your eligibility.

NRI admissions regarding CLAT can be applied directly with the major required document proofs.

Cutoffs to 10,000 are being allotted after regular rounds for counselling, but the course fee for this will be 10-20 lakhs per annum only if the candidate is either of these: NRI, OCI, or PIO.
