Since you scored 8000 AIR in CLAT, getting into top NLUs may not be possible, so it is a good idea to look for affordable and good law colleges.

State government law colleges are usually low in fees, and have decent reputation. Some options include Government Law College, Mumbai, Faculty of Law, University of Delhi, Government Law College, Bangalore, and state quota seats in RMLNLU, Lucknow.

Private law colleges with moderate fees include Amity Law School, Noida, Symbiosis Law School, Pune, GITAM School of Law, Hyderabad, and Bhartiya Vidya Bhavan’s Law College, Pune or Mumbai.

Other affordable options are KLE Society’s Law College, Bangalore or Belgaum, and Tamil Nadu Dr Ambedkar Law University. Many state universities offer five year integrated BA LLB courses at low fees.

For backup options, it is good to focus on state quota seats in NLUs or government colleges, check DU LLB or BA LLB admissions via DU CET, consider scholarships or installment payment options in private colleges, and explore integrated programs like BA LLB or BBA LLB for future career in corporate law.
