    Have a question related to RGNUL Patiala ?

    My rank is 811 in clat pg 2019. I belong to general category. Can i get nlu jodhpur or rgnul patiala?

    hii

    The closing rank for NLU Jodhpur is somewhat around 232 and RGNLU Patiala the closing rank is 325 so it seems difficult for you to get into any of this

    Thank you

    What are the chances of my admission


    Hi Mamta

    It is good that you want to know your chances of admission but I won't be able to help you till the time you tell me your rank and marks. Kindly come back with the required information.

    Thank you

    I may get 115 marks, Female with Punjab Domicile. What are the chances of getting admission in RGNUL, Patiala??

    Hey.
    The cut off marks required for admission in through CLAT varies a lot each year due to several factors. According to previous year trends sometimes 105+ would be sufficient whereas in some other year 120+ are required sometimes 140+. So a more accurate estimate can be made only after the ranks are declared or atleast the answer key is out.
    But if the cut off this year is average you might have a chance in RGNUL patiala under the State domicile. There are 18 seats reserved in RGNUL for state quota candidates. So if your state rank which will also be mentioned along with AIR is around this range or maybe even a little lower you'll have fair chances of admission in RGNUL.

    Just on the basis of estimate marks, you can't be 100% sure of your chances. It would depend a lot on the level of paper and competition this year. So you should wait for the ranks for a more accurate estimate.
    Best of luck!
