UPES Integrated LLB Admissions 2026
Ranked #18 amongst Institutions in India by NIRF | Ranked #1 in India for Academic Reputation by QS Rankings | 16 LPA Highest CTC
NLUs Fee Structure 2026: The National Law Universities publish the NLU fees structure in their information brochure/prospectus. Students who wish to study law from NLUs should consider the fee component before applying for admission. Unlike many other government law schools, NLUs fee structure is slightly higher as they are among the top law colleges in India. There are currently 26 National Law Universities (NLUs) in India. The NLUs are arguably the most popular institutes for the study of LLB and LLM programmes. The top-ranked NLUs such as NLSIU Bangalore charge around Rs. 4 lakh per annum for a 5-year BA LLB. There is no uniformity in NLUs' fee structure for 2026 and students have to check the fee structure for each NLU during the admission process. 24 of the 26 NLUs conduct their admission through CLAT. Candidates must pay the prescribed installment of the NLU fees of the allotted NLU during the CLAT counselling process to obtain seat allotment.
Candidates who will not be satisfied with the CLAT 2026 provisional answer key can raise objections against it by December 12 up to 5 pm.

At the postgraduate level, National Law Universities have one-year LLM. The NLU PG fee 2026 ranges between Rs. 1 lakh per annum and Rs. 4 lakh per annum. Admissions to integrated LLB and LLM courses in 24 NLUs are offered through the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) conducted by the Consortium of National Law Universities. Whereas, NLU Delhi admissions are held through AILET, and NLU Meghalaya through MEG UAT and MEG PAT.
NLU fees for 5-year integrated LLB and LLM courses vary across NLUs as these universities are established by different state governments and they lack uniformity. A general fee structure of NLUs is composed of different heads such as tuition fees, examination fee, development/welfare fee and others. The NLU fees for 5 years of BALLB with hostel accommodation and mess charges are additional.

On Question asked by student community
Hello aspirant,
With 64.5 marks in CLAT 2026 and EWS+UP domicile, getting a top NLU may be difficult because EWS cutoffs are usually high. However, you may still have chances in the newer or mid-tier NLUs, depending on this year's overall scoring trend. NLUs like NLU Tripura, NLU Shimla or NLU Jabalpur sometimes open seats for EWS candidates at lower scores. It's best to wait for the official ranks and counselling lists, as seats shift during later rounds.

Hello aspirant,
Getting 43 in CLAT can feel disappointing, but it doesn't define your ability. You still have AILET, and many students improve sharply in their second attempt. For AILET, focus more on English, logical reasoning and GK. In static GK, study important books, monuments, national parks, constitutional facts and major awards. For current affairs, revise the last 6-8 months covering national events, government schemes, appointments, sports and major international news. Make short notes and revise daily. With a clear plan and claim mind, you can perform much better in AILET.

Hello
The best way to cover the important current affairs is to read the newspaper daily. Then try to analyse the newspaper and remember the trending topics. Practice the previous year's question paper and understand the pattern of the question. Summarise all current affairs topics and understand them in brief. If you want more information about current affairs, then you will read the article How to Prepare for CLAT Current Affairs 2026 .
Thank you.
