NLU Seats in India: Course-Wise Seat Intake of All NLUs
The National Law Universities (NLUs) are often the most cherished institutions among aspirants when it comes to pursuing law. In all, there are 26 NLUs, and they offer 5-year LLB, 3-year LLB, and LLM programmes. There are around 5790 NLU seats in India. While the 5-year LLB admissions at NLUs are primarily done through the CLAT UG exam, the LLM admissions are done through CLAT PG. The universities that offer 3-year LLB conduct their separate exams.
