NLSIU Bangalore L.L.M Courses & Fees 2026

Hello,

Based on previous year CLAT cutoff trends , your chances for NLSIU Bangalore are very low .

NLSIU Bangalore has the highest cutoff among all NLUs . In recent years, the final closing rank for General category has been around AIR 100–120 only.

You have:

• General category AIR: 658

• Women category rank: 313

• No Karnataka domicile

Women reservation in NLUs is horizontal , not a separate quota. This means it does not add extra seats . It only helps when candidates are very close to the general cutoff. At a rank of 313 , the gap is too large.

Even in spot or final rounds, NLSIU does not go beyond ~120 rank for General category candidates without domicile.

However, with these ranks, you have good chances in other top NLUs like NALSAR Hyderabad, WBNUJS Kolkata, NLU Jodhpur, GNLU Gandhinagar, and NLIU Bhopal, depending on counselling rounds.

You can also use our CLAT College Predictor Tool to predict which colleges you can get based on your score and rank.

Hope it helps !

Got it! You want to connect with a student from NLSIU to ask some questions about CLAT preparation. I don’t have the ability to connect you directly with students, but I can help you in two ways.

First, I can guide you with strategies, tips, and resources that NLSIU students often use for CLAT preparation, so you get insights similar to talking to a current student.

Second, I can suggest online communities or forums where current law students, including NLSIU students, discuss CLAT preparation. You can post your question there and get direct replies. Examples include WhatsApp groups, Telegram groups, or Reddit communities like r/CLATPrep.

Hello Aspirant,

Your opportunity of getting into top NLUs such as NLSIU Bangalore, NALSAR Hyderabad, and WBNUJS Kolkata, with an All India OBC Rank of 1219, is very low since these typically close at much lower OBC ranks (usually within the top 200–500 depending on the year). Nevertheless, since you belong to Karnataka, you could be eligible for the Karnataka domicile reservation at NLSIU Bangalore. NLSIU has 25% reservation for Karnataka students, and that too with a sub-reservation for OBC candidates.

Although 1219 is a bit above, you might have a marginal chance in subsequent rounds or through spot counselling, based on how the cutoffs change. Monitor official CLAT counselling rounds and NLSIU's admission announcements for the best information.
