PLEASE INFORM ASAP What is necessary CLAT score for GNLU general, as I will be appearing for CLAT 2021 and I want to pursue Bcom Llb (Hons.) from GNLU. MOHD FAAIZ HAYAT
Your score totally depends on the kind of paper that comes, what really matters is your All India rank, that is what you should be worrying about.
You see my point, score does not matter what matters is your rank . Total number of all India seats in nlus is around 1400 excluding reserved seats, you should aim for those seats and not worry about your score if you have a good rank.
A score around 130 is considered good if you are looking for GNLU . Always aim to be in top tier.
Hope this would help you.
At GNLU, Gandhinagar, what is total annual intake and total students now? How are hostel facilities? are there enough number of beds in the Hostel or a few students have to arrange for themselves? Also, do students opt out of hostel for other PG or rent facilities?
Hello,
At present, GNLU does not have a very impressive campus and the hostel and college are situated at a distance from each other, students having to travel to and fro by the college bus or by autorikshaws. However, the hostel accommodation is not bad and GNLU is one of the few National Law Universities to give its students an attached toilet and bathroom. Warm water is provided in buckets to each of the rooms in the winters. Newspapers are also provided in the rooms, if you subscribe for them

Gujarat National Law University is popular for its World legal literature in addition to infrastructure, teaching and research excellence. The library shares equally in making GNLU a World-class law university. Library fosters the pursuit of academic excellence. The mission of the library is to connect people to the World of legal literature. It is spread over four-floors with seating capacity for 300 readers at a time. The library has a vast collection of more than 35,000 volumes of books, law reports and subscribes 150 print journals, newspapers, reference books and e-books.

The Sports Committee of Gujarat National Law University was commenced in the year 2008 with a vision to develop the sporting culture in the University. The new campus for GNLU brought with it improved infrastructure for sports, and the Sports Committee took this as the perfect launching pad to take sports activities in GNLU to new heights. The Sports Committee works tirelessly through the year, organising a plethora of inter-batch events, Stepover Cup, GFL, Volleymania, Super Sixes, Blacktop, Cyclathon and Innards (Chess, Carom & Table Tennis) that have not only kept the fun alive amongst the enthusiastic students throughout the year but have also served to unearth precocious, hidden talents who have become fixtures in the University teams. The Sports Committee of GNLU follows a decentralized power structure with the Committee being divided into various clubs, each with its own head, all of whom answer to the Student Convenor and Faculty Convenor. This system has proved to be very successful, as the Committee has grown in leaps and bounds over the past few years, and this has been most evident in the élan and aplomb with which the Justice League events have been conducted. Our faculty convenor leads from the front and is a shining example to us all, himself winning accolades for GNLU at state level athletic meets. None of this would have been possible without the unwavering support of our Director, our Registrar, and the staff members, who constantly encourage and support our endeavours. The Sports Committee remains ever motivated and seeks to forge new paths and reach out, reach high and reach beyond.
Complete sets of AIR (SC/HC/Crilj) are available in the Computer Systems of the Library. Online Law Resources such as Westlaw, Jstor, Manupatra, Heinonline, Taxmann and CLA are also available to the users through Internet in the Campus.
