College Infrastructure

The infrastructure is not nice here bulidings are too small ,it's India's top University - national law University so I didn't expect this type of infrastructure from this type of national Universities. Classrooms are to old fashioned and small lack of playgrounds and no big halls or auditorium.

For me my collage life is nice.

Have a question related to NLU Shimla (HPNLU) ?

my air is 23880 and sc rank is 1228 . can i get hpnlu any chance?

Hello there,

Given both of your ranks it is highly unlikely for you to secure a seat in HPNLU, as the range of closing rank is within 10800-11600 for BA LLB and 11200-13900 for BBA LLB. Considering you SC rank, the available seats for the category are beyond your reach

my air is 30920 and sc rank is 1845 can i get a nlu? specifically hpnlu?

Hello

With an AIR of 30,920 and an SC category rank of 1,845, getting a seat in a top or mid-tier NLU is not likely. However, newer and lower-ranked NLUs can still be possible, especially in later rounds.
For HPNLU Shimla, chances are low but not completely impossible in mop-up
