NLU Seats in India: Course-Wise Seat Intake of All NLUs

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.
