What if I don't get an NLU through CLAT 2020

What if I don't get an NLU through CLAT 2020 - Getting admission in a National Law University (NLU) is a dream for many CLAT 2020 aspirants, but what if someone doesn’t get admission in an NLU through CLAT?. Should we consider it an ultimate failure or just a part and parcel of the game? Summer Redstone rightly said, ‘Success is not built on success, it is built on failure, frustration and sometimes on catastrophe’. Failure in CLAT does not mean one cannot become a successful law professional. Given that the CLAT 2020 exam is a highly competitive and lakhs of students prepare themselves for this, so, it is not possible that everyone makes a way to NLU. Ultimately what matters is that law aspirants become successful in their respective law profile. There are many law colleges that accept CLAT scores for admissions and some also conduct their own entrance exams for LLB and LLM programmes. So, here we will discuss what other options the CLAT 2020 aspirants would have if they don’t get an NLU through CLAT 2020.

Think Beyond NLUs!

NLUs are among the top law universities of India, But that doesn’t mean they are the only top law universities of India. And, most importantly the CLAT 2020 scores will be accepted by 53 private law colleges of India along with Dr B R Ambedkar National Law University Sonipat, Haryana.

These private colleges include big names like Nirma University and Jindal Global Law School, Sonipat. They compete with the best NLUs and sometimes even perform better.

Below we are giving a list of law colleges of India along with seats available in these colleges.

What other options a Law aspirant have?

It is said, ‘If plan ‘A’ doesn’t work, the alphabet has 25 more letters, so stay cool’. if you are looking for a law college, there are many entrance exams conducted by law colleges to test your knowledge and hunger, and if you are already preparing for the toughest law exam then there is no harm in looking for other law entrance exams. Some universities are even better than many NLUs in terms of their academic curriculum and other facilities. Symbiosis Law School, Pune is one such example which is ranked as the 7th best law college of India by NIRF 2019 ranking of MHRD. There are many state-level entrance exams and also, many law colleges conduct their own entrance exam separately. One can consider appearing in these exams and get a seat in a law college.

Still, deep down if you are not ready to give up on your dream of an NLU than the good news is that there is no age bar for appearing in CLAT and no restrictions on the number of CLAT attempts. You should start analyzing your points of failure and follow a holistic approach towards the CLAT exam from the point you realize your failure.
