NLU Odisha 3-year LLB Cut Offs 2025: Round 1 Opening and Closing Ranks

Dear Candidate ,
Since you missed the counselling window , direct admission into NLU Jodhpur this year is not possible . However , you can still secure a seat through vacancy or spot rounds - these are announced after initial seat allotments . Keep a close eye on the CLAT consortium and NLYJ portals , and be ready to participate at short notice if an on-spot round happens . If nothing works out consider reapplying next yea with CLAT , ensuring timely counselling participation .

Hello Rajdeep,

You have a good chance of getting into the following NLUs under the OBC Category (cut-offs from previous years, which may change slightly) with an All India Rank of 2754 and an OBC rank of 314 in CLAT 2025:

1. Dr. B.R. Ambedkar NLU, Haryana (NLU Sonepat)
2. Himachal Pradesh NLU, Shimla (HPNLU)
3. Damodaram Sanjivayya NLU, Visakhapatnam (DSNLU)
4. Maharashtra NLU, Aurangabad or Nagpur (lower preference campuses)
5. NLU Tripura (recent addition, lower closing ranks)

With 30 marks in CLAT 2025, getting admission in NLU Jodhpur is not possible because its cutoff is usually very high. For general category, students need around 90–95 marks or a top rank. Even for SC/ST categories, the required score is much higher than 30. But don’t worry — you can try for other private law colleges that accept low CLAT scores or prepare again for CLAT 2026. With better preparation, you can get into a good law college next time.

Hello Aspirant,

With an AIR of 11,588 in CLAT 2025 and the OBC (Women) category rank of 2,068, your prospects at the top NLUs are not too bright. However, referring to the previous years' trends, you may have some chances of getting into some of the new/low-ranked NLUs in OBC-Women category. You can consider:

1. NLU Sonipat (Dr. B.R. Ambedkar NLU)
2. HNLU Raipur (in later rounds)
3. DNLU Jabalpur
4. MNLU Nagpur or Aurangabad
5. MPDNLU (Bhopal) – depending on category cutoff trends
6. RSNLU Ranchi or DSNLU Vizag – possible in spot or final rounds

Hello Sanjay,

With a rank of 9825, it may be challenging to get admission into top National Law Universities (NLUs) through common entrance exams like CLAT, as the cutoff ranks for most NLUs are usually much higher (lower rank numbers).

However, some NLUs or private law colleges may have higher cutoff ranks or reserve seats under different categories or quotas. It’s important to:

1. Check the specific cutoff trends of each NLU for the year.

2. Consider other law colleges besides NLUs.

3. Explore reserved category benefits if applicable.

4. Participate in all counseling rounds to increase chances.

If you belong to any reserved category, your chances improve. Otherwise, you may also consider private universities offering law courses.
