  • JIMS Engineering Management Technical campus, school of Law 
  • Chander Prabhu Jain college of higher studies 
  • ICFAI Law school Hyderabad 
  • MS Ramaiah college of law

With the rank you're mentioning I'm afraid you have less chances of getting into an NLU but you can definitely look out for other good colleges like 

  • KIIT Bhubaneswar 
  • UPES Dehradun

You have a great rank and with this rank in SC category you can definitely expect to get into an NLU. You can look out for all the NLUs except NLSIU Bangalore. Though their closing rank for SC candidates lie somewhere near 3000 but you'll have to consider the number of seats available and the competition for it also. But you can easily get all the other NLUs.

Hello Niharika
Since you have obtained a rank of the 14.4k which is really high for a general candidate in the field and entrance exam of Law, I am sorry to say that you won't be able to take admission in National law University.
You may be able to get admission in some other private or Government colleges through CLAT but your chances are getting admission in NLU are very very less.
So, it's better to try for some other colleges.
Good luck
