Given your EWS rank of 791 and AIR around 8000 in CLAT 2024 , and the fact that you were not allocated a seat in the 2nd round , there is still a chance of securing a seat in the 3rd round or spot counseling if vacancies arise. However, top NLUs like NLSIU Bangalore , NALSAR Hyderabad , and NLU Delhi typically have higher cutoffs, so your chances of getting into these institutions are slim. You may still have a possibility of admission in other NLUs that have slightly lower cutoffs for the EWS category, as well as in private law universities that accept CLAT scores . Keep monitoring the counseling updates and be ready for any seat availability in subsequent rounds, especially in vacancy-based or spot rounds .
