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.

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.
