Have a question related to CNLU Patna ?

my clat rank 36415 and ews category rank is 3412 i have bihar domicile certificate, is there any chance to get any nlu or cnlu

Hello Santosh,

Domicile cut-offs are unpredictable. You can apply and get a seat only if the domicile category is selected. You can apply, but the chances of getting either of them are rare.
