Have a question related to CNLU Patna ?

With a rank of 166, you have excellent chances of getting admission to a top National Law University (NLU) through CLAT (Common Law Admission Test), depending on your category and preferences. Here's an approximate guide based on CLAT cutoffs:


General Trends:


Top NLUs (e.g., NLSIU Bangalore, NALSAR Hyderabad, and NLUD Delhi): Typically, admission closes within ranks 1–120 for general category.


Mid-tier NLUs (e.g., WBNUJS Kolkata, NLIU Bhopal, HNLU Raipur): Admission often closes between ranks 120–500 for general category.


Lower-tier NLUs: Have cutoffs extending to ranks 2000+.



Key Factors:


Category Reservation: If you belong to a reserved category (OBC, SC, ST, EWS, etc.), your rank of 166 should secure you admission to top-tier NLUs.


State Domicile Quotas: If applying to an NLU in your home state, quotas may further boost your chances.



Likely NLUs for Rank 166:


NALSAR Hyderabad


WBNUJS Kolkata


NLIU Bhopal


GNLU Gandhinagar


RMLNLU Lucknow



To confirm, refer to the official CLAT counselling portal and previous year's cutoff trends. Let me know if you'd like specific details on any NLU!


I have got 49.75 in clat 2024 can I get cnlu with Bihar domicile and category is obc (ncl)

With a CLAT score of 49.75 and an OBC (NCL) category, it might be difficult to secure admission to CNLU (Chanakya National Law University), Patna, as their cutoffs can be higher. However, having a Bihar domicile could provide some advantage for the state quota, making it worth checking the previous year's cutoffs for the OBC (NCL) category. You can also consider reaching out to the college for more specific insights based on your rank and score.



Hello Aspirant,

Based on the analysis of previous year's cut-off and keeping some other factors in mind, as per your CLAT 2022 rank and category y ou have almost no chances in CNLU Patna even for state reserved seats .


But note that above prediction is based on previous year's data of cut-offs of different institutions and the cut-offs are bound to change every year depending upon the various factors such as

-->> Total number of candidates appeared in the CLAT 2022 entrance exam

-->> Difficulty level of Paper

-->> Top score

-->> The seat intake for the 5-year LLB / LLM program

-->> Total candidates from reservation categories (SC, ST, etc.)

-->> Previous year's cutoff trends

So don't assume it as final admission call from the respected institute. You will have to appear for seat allotment process.
