I have sociology(hons) in miranda house (1st year). i also gave clat this year, got a seat in nlu shimla in the 1st round. will opt for revise option but what would be better? continuing in miranda house or leaving it for nlu?

Dear Akansha,

Going by reputation, Miranda House is more reputable than HPNLU, Shimla which is a lower ranked NLU.

However, HPNLU will probably give you better employment opportunities through BALLB which has better placement opportunities than a sociology (Hons) degree.

Since you have applied for upgradation option in the counselling, if you get a better ranked NLU then you should definitely go for it.

Best of luck!

I secured 91.5 marks in clat 2019 can i get nlu shimla or jabalpur in gen category

With the score you're mentioning you'll get a rank somewhere near 10000-15000. So in general category you can definitely expect NLUs Shimla and Jabalpur. In general category they require a rank below 10000 in general category and also they have some seats reserved for the people belonging from the respective states so if you belong to those states you can definitely expect or else it would be a little difficult. But don't loose hope since you've a decent score.

All the very best
