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 Candidate ,
Since you missed the counselling window , direct admission into NLU Jodhpur this year is not possible . However , you can still secure a seat through vacancy or spot rounds - these are announced after initial seat allotments . Keep a close eye on the CLAT consortium and NLYJ portals , and be ready to participate at short notice if an on-spot round happens . If nothing works out consider reapplying next yea with CLAT , ensuring timely counselling participation .

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

With 30 marks in CLAT 2025, getting admission in NLU Jodhpur is not possible because its cutoff is usually very high. For general category, students need around 90–95 marks or a top rank. Even for SC/ST categories, the required score is much higher than 30. But don’t worry — you can try for other private law colleges that accept low CLAT scores or prepare again for CLAT 2026. With better preparation, you can get into a good law college next time.

Hello Aspirant,

With an AIR of 11,588 in CLAT 2025 and the OBC (Women) category rank of 2,068, your prospects at the top NLUs are not too bright. However, referring to the previous years' trends, you may have some chances of getting into some of the new/low-ranked NLUs in OBC-Women category. You can consider:

1. NLU Sonipat (Dr. B.R. Ambedkar NLU)
2. HNLU Raipur (in later rounds)
3. DNLU Jabalpur
4. MNLU Nagpur or Aurangabad
5. MPDNLU (Bhopal) – depending on category cutoff trends
6. RSNLU Ranchi or DSNLU Vizag – possible in spot or final rounds
