With the all India rank and the category rank you're mentioning I'm afraid you won't get any NLUs even with a state domicile. But you can definitely look out for other good private colleges like ICFAI Law school Hyderabad, Techno India Salt Lake Kolkata and the like. 

Apart from that you can check out the colleges you can get with your rank using the following link

Hi Vaibhav,

       It is quite difficult for you to get a seat in an NLU according to your score. There are only a total of 2300 seats in all NLUs. And moreover, the lowest closing rank for NLUs has been around 1600 and lesser in the previous years. But you can try for private colleges with your rank. All the best!!!

Hello Eshitaa
Congratulations for your result.
According to last year's cut off the closing rank for general goes upto 1588 in NLUJAA Guwahati.

So according to your general rank 4522 you have very less chances to get admission in any NLU.

You can check last year's cut off for CLAT using this link:

Thank you

Hello Amanda,

CLAT is one of the toughest examination in India to get admission in different NLUs across country.

With your above mentioned rank and category it'll be quite tough to get admission in RMNLU even in last round of counselling but you may get lower NLUs in last round of counselling.

Hope this helps.

Best of luck!!

Hello Avni,

The answer for your question is Yes as Christ University is a very good university and it has a very good environment for students to study and the faculty is also very good. In general if I tell you then college doesn't matter at all as many go college just for the sake of attendance, it is totally based on you how you want to take it.

I hope my answer have helped you and hope you do well in future.

Hello akhouri,

Sorry to say but your chances are equivalent to nil to get a seat in nlu Ranchi at 6000 rank and that too with general category as previous year last seat was alloted at 1470 for general category so this year also the expected cutoff will be more or less the same.

Wish you all the best and for more doubt and queries write in the comment box below.
