With an All India SC category rank of 1561 in CLAT, you have a strong chance of getting admission into several National Law Universities through the counselling rounds. Based on past year trends, this rank can fetch you a seat in NLUs like NLIU Bhopal, HNLU Raipur, RGNUL Patiala, and possibly even higher-ranked ones like WBNUJS Kolkata or NLU Jodhpur depending on how cutoffs move in the later rounds.
SC category cutoffs for top NLUs tend to vary each year, but many of them have admitted students with SC ranks between 1500 and 3000, especially in rounds 2 and 3. Your chances increase further if you list a wide range of NLUs in your preference order during counselling. Also, make sure to complete all required counselling steps, document verification, and preference locking on time to avoid missing out.
With your rank, you're well-positioned to get a seat—just stay active in the admission process and keep checking updates from the CLAT consortium.
Dear student,
For Delhi University’s BA LLB program through CLAT, EWS category admissions last year (2024) typically closed around a rank of 1100 to 1200. This means if you scored around 90–95 marks in CLAT, you had a good chance of getting in. The exact cut-off can change slightly each year depending on competition and seat availability, but staying within the top 1200 is generally safe for EWS candidates.
Hi Akash,
It is good to see institutions like NMIMS have selected you for master of law based on your CLAT PG scores. If we compare the three then to be very clear:
For the best academic value and recognition choose NMIMS, or the Nirma University is also good. The DNLU is newer and can be considered as well but if we choose any one, then it is NMIMS.
ALL THE BEST !
The cutoff for DU BA LLB for CLAT ews has not been released yet.You can check the cutoff in this website after notification of release of cutoff - https://clat2024.consortiumofnlus.ac.in/clat-2024/
Yes, you can get direct admission into BBA LLB at VIPS (Vivekananda Institute of Professional Studies) with 82 percent in your Class 12 exams, but not without appearing in CLAT or IPU CET.
VIPS is affiliated with Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU), and admissions to BBA LLB are done strictly through entrance exams. The primary mode of admission is through CLAT UG, as GGSIPU has adopted CLAT scores for law programs in recent years. Previously, the IPU CET was used for law admissions, but that has been phased out for integrated law courses like BBA LLB.
So, even with a good Class 12 score, you cannot get admission into VIPS for BBA LLB without a valid CLAT score. The university does not allow direct management quota admissions outside the entrance process for its law programs. You may need to wait for the next CLAT attempt or consider private universities that allow direct admission based on 12th marks.
All the best!
Hello,
With an All India Rank (AIR) of 38095 and OBC rank of 7627, it is very difficult to get a seat in any of the NLUs, even under the Tamil Nadu government school quota. Most NLUs close their OBC seats at a much lower rank. Also, the government school quota is not accepted by all NLUs.
You can still attend all rounds of CLAT counselling and keep checking for any vacancy or special rounds, but chances are very low with this rank. It is better to also look for other good law colleges as a backup.
Hope it helps !
hey, Having a CLAT rank of 21,000 and an SC category rank of approximately 1,000, you may get a good chance by applying to NLUs in which SC category seats remain unfilled. At this rank extend, there are routinely open positions at state NLUs or more current NLUs with reserved seats SC candidates. Focus on appying to NLUs such as NLU Jodhpur, NLU Odisha or NLU Tamil Nadu, which occasionally have vacancies in saved categories. As well, monitor the CLAT guiding entry in terms of opening overhauls and participate in spot rounds properly.
DEAR STUDENT,
For candidates outside Delhi 15% of the total seats are reserved, and within this quota, Genaral EWS candidates are eligible criteria and possess a valid EWS certificate issued by the appropriate authority.
Here some colleges :
THANK YOU.
With rank of -8220, here's a realistic idea of where he can get into
1. Top NLUs (I-III) Like NLSU Bengaluru, NALSAR Hyderabad, WBNUJS Kolkata, and NLIU Bhopal need much higher rank (-100 - 450), so they won't be reachable,.
2. Mid- tier NLUs such as HNLU Raipur (-765), NLU Jodhpur (-357), RMLNLU Lucknow (-721), GNLU Gandhinagar (-402), NLUO Cuttack (-943), and DSNLU Vizag (-1,390) Are still out of reach.
3. With rank - 8220, he might qualify for NLU state quotas or lower - ranked NLUs, but that depends heavily on :
4. Private law college accepting CLAT scores (like Amity, nirma, alliance , etc) are a great fallback and ofter take candidates with ranks up to 20,000+
With CLAT rank 2754 and OBC rank 314, you can likely get:
Top NLUs under OBC:
NLSIU Bangalore
NALSAR Hyderabad
WBNUJS Kolkata
NLU Jodhpur
NLIU Bhopal
Very Safe Options:
HNLU Raipur
GNLU Gandhinagar
RMLNLU Lucknow
