NLUs NIRF Rankings 2025: Rank-wise Best NLUs in India

With 47.5 marks in CLAT 2026 under General category, chances of admission in top NLUs are very low. However, you may have a chance in lower-ranked or newer NLUs, depending on the cut-off, women reservation, and domicile rules. Final allotment depends on counselling rounds and seat availability.

Thankyou i hope this will resolve some doubt

With a CLAT 2026 score of around 59 marks, being a female candidate from the EWS category with Rajasthan domicile does give you some possibility, but it is important to keep expectations realistic.

NLU Jodhpur is one of the older and more preferred NLUs, so its general cutoff usually remains on the higher side. However, domicile reservation for Rajasthan candidates and the EWS category can slightly improve your chances, especially in later rounds of counselling such as the fourth or fifth list or spot rounds, if seats remain vacant. Female candidates may also benefit indirectly where category and domicile seats overlap.

That said, admission at this score is not guaranteed, and you should definitely keep backup options open. You may have comparatively better chances at newer or lower-ranked NLUs where EWS and domicile cutoffs are generally lower. Participating in all rounds of CLAT counselling is very important, as movement often happens due to withdrawals.

Along with NLU Jodhpur, you should also consider state law universities and reputed private law colleges as alternatives to avoid losing a year. Make sure your documents for EWS and domicile are valid and ready, as they are strictly verified during admission.

Overall, while the chances for NLU Jodhpur are limited at this score, they are not completely ruled out due to your category and domicile advantages. Stay patient during counselling and keep multiple options in hand.

All the best.

Hello

With 83 marks in CLAT 2026 under the MBC category, getting NLU Jodhpur is possible but not guaranteed.
Based on previous years’ trends, the cutoff usually falls around 82–85 marks.
If your rank lies within the cutoff range, your chances improve.
Admission often becomes more likely in the later counselling rounds.
Your category reservation and preference order will play an important role.

Hope it will help you!!!

Hello aspirant,

Your anticipated cutoff range for top and mid-tier NLUs would typically be 60–70+ marks with 58 marks in CLAT (EWS category).  Chances in Tier-1 and Tier-2 NLUs are minimal at 58.  Depending on the year, rank inflation, and EWS seat availability, you might have a slim chance in lower Tier-3 NLUs or through open seats/spot rounds.

Thank you

Hope it helps you

Hello,

With a score of 82 in CLAT 2026 under the EWS category, you do have a chance at getting into decent NLUs, but it may depend on the specific NLU and the cut-offs for this year.

Generally:

• Top NLUs (like NLSIU, NALSAR, NUJS, WBNUJS) usually have higher cut-offs, so 82 might be below their usual EWS opening rank.

• Mid-tier NLUs (like HNLU, GNLU, RMLNLU, NLUJ) could be within reach.

• Lower-ranked NLUs and state NLUs are more likely to accept your score.

Your best step is to check the previous years’ EWS cut-offs for each NLU to see where your rank might fit.

Hope it helps !
