Hello there,

Your EWS rank is the major source for the seat allotment process. Since you have an EWS rank of 518, it is very likely for you to secure a seat even in the top-tier NLUs. As per the 2025 seat allotment trends, these are the listed NLUs you might be able to secure a seat in:

1. Top-tier NLUs: NLSIU Bangalore, NALSAR Hyderabad, WBNUJS Kolkata. These NLUs have a closing EWS rank of 500-750.
2. Mid-tier NLUs: NLU Jodhpur, GNLU Gandhinagar, NLIU Bhopal. These NLUs typically closes within the EWS rank of 900-1300.
3. Lower\Newer NLUs: RMLNLU Lucknow, HNLU Raipur, MNLU Mumbai, NLU Odisha. These usually have a closing EWS rank of beyond 1500.

You should also consider these NLUs specifically if you have a state domicile. Fill up the preference sheet carefully.

I hope the information is useful.

Thankyou.

Yes, you have a higher chance of getting admission into various National Law Universities by getting a general rank of 5862 and an EWS rank of 518. You will get some top or mid-tier NLU colleges. Both your ranks are very strong to get admission in NLSIU Bengaluru or NALSAR Hyderabad.

Hello

With a general rank of 5862 and an EWS rank of 518, you do have a chance of getting an NLU, mainly in the newer or lower-ranked NLUs.
Admission is not guaranteed, but it is possible in later counselling rounds or vacancy rounds.
NLUs like HPNLU Shimla, MNLU Nagpur/Aurangabad, TNNLU Trichy, DSNLU Visakhapatnam, and DBRANLU Sonipat may be within reach.
Top and mid-tier NLUs are unlikely at this rank.
Make sure you fill in all NLUs in your preference list and stay active till the last round.
