With an All India Rank of 23,880 and an SC category rank of 1,228 in CLAT, you do have a possible chance for admission to Himachal Pradesh National Law University (HPNLU), especially in the SC category, but it will largely depend on the cutoff trends of the current admission year. In previous years, HPNLU’s SC category closing ranks have often gone beyond the general cutoffs, and seats have sometimes been allotted to candidates with ranks in a similar or slightly higher range during later counselling rounds.

However, admission is not guaranteed, as cutoffs vary every year based on factors such as the number of applicants, seat matrix, and category-wise demand. Your chances may improve in subsequent counselling rounds if seats remain vacant or if higher-ranked candidates opt for other NLUs. It is strongly advised that you participate in all counselling rounds, keep HPNLU high in your preference list if it is your target, and also consider other lower-ranked NLUs as backup options. Keeping realistic expectations while remaining flexible with preferences will improve your overall chances of securing an NLU seat.

HELLO,,

with your CLATR AIR 23880 and SC Rank 1228 your chances of admission into HPNLU is possible but challenging specially in early rounds as your rank is near the cut off range for newer NLUs , it will be good option for you to participate in all counselling rounds as cutoffs fluctuate and seats can open up for reserved categories offering a decent chance in later stages for HPNLU.

Hello,

Yes, you do have a chance for HPNLU Shimla with AIR 23880 and SC rank 1228 , based on previous year trends.

Past year cutoffs show that:

  • For SC category , the closing rank for HPNLU Shimla usually goes much beyond 10,000 AIR in later rounds.

  • Your SC rank 1228 is much better than the SC closing ranks of previous years.

What this means for you:

  • You are well within the safe range compared to past SC cutoffs.

  • You may get HPNLU in later counselling rounds or vacancy rounds .

  • Getting a seat also depends on seat availability and counselling movement.

So, you should participate in all rounds of counselling.

Hope it helps !

Hello,

No, the chances are almost slim to secure a seat in HPNLU through CLAT counselling.

The SC category candidates who are in between these 11597 and 13886 are those who are able to get one.

Hello there,

Given both of your ranks it is highly unlikely for you to secure a seat in HPNLU, as the range of closing rank is within 10800-11600 for BA LLB and 11200-13900 for BBA LLB. Considering you SC rank, the available seats for the category are beyond your reach of securing a seat.

Therefore you must look for more NLUs to secure a seat in. Listed below are the NLUs that you can consider securing a seat:

  • NLU Tripura
  • NLU Meghalaya
  • NLU Assam
  • MPDNLU Jabalpur
  • DBRANLU Sonipat

You must not lose hope. I hope this helps you.

Thankyou.
