Hi

Your air is 51k, and the ST rank is 1168 under Kerala domicile; you have a higher chance of getting admission in NLU Kochi. Last year, the closing NLU Kochi rank was around 1300-1600 for the general category. So your ST rank of 1168 is very good for the Kerala Domicile quota. You need to wait for later rounds or consider other NLUs if the All India St Seat is limited.

Thank you.
