CLAT is a national-level entrance exam. It is conducted by a consortium of NLUs for admissions to undergraduate and postgraduate courses offered by 22 participating NLUs. At this rank it is totally depends on vacant seat option as last cutoff list of HPNLU and NLU Sonipat goes upto 10500 around where at this rank14323 you need to be depend on vacant seat option if you are the resident of Assam it is 100% possible to get seat in NLU assan as due to reservation for Schedule caste of Assam. In simple words you must participate in counselling session wait for last round in each NLU and if name does not come in any list then you should wait for vacant seats of different NLUs. Or if you are the resident of Assam then you can easily get nlu Assam. Thank you.

If you have a low CLAT score, it may be more difficult to get into a National Law University (NLU) in India. However, there are a few things you can try to improve your chances of getting into an NLU with a low CLAT score:
1, Check the cut-off scores for the NLUs you are interested in: Each NLU has its own cut-off score for admission, and some NLUs may have lower cut-off scores for certain categories of candidates. It's worth checking the cut-off scores for the NLUs you are interested in to see if you are within the range for any of these categories.
2. Consider applying to NLUs that have lower cut-off scores: Some NLUs generally have lower cut-off scores than others, so it may be worth considering applying to these NLUs if you have a low CLAT score.
3. Highlight other strengths in your application: In addition to your CLAT score, NLUs may consider other factors in their admission process, such as your performance in the qualifying examination, your extracurricular activities, and your Personal Interview. If you have strong grades and a good record of extracurricular activities, these may help to compensate for a lower CLAT score.
4. Apply to other law schools: If you are not able to get into an NLU with your current CLAT score, you may want to consider applying to other law schools in India that offer good quality legal education and may have lower cut-off scores for admission.

I hope with less score you mean a score less than 80 but more than 70-75 because if you are pointing towards and even lesser score then your chances of getting an NLU are slim and unlikely. It should be noted that the score are not the basis over which candidates are shortlisted rather it is the merit list that is taken into account directly for shortlisting. There is no fixed trend for the merit list as it keeps changing and varies each year depending upon the number of candidates appearing for the CLAT. Though it is preferred to make a strategy keeping in mind the most recent trend of merit list and cutoff rates because in that way you are likely to get atleast some other NLU even if it is not one of the top 3 or 5. The cutoffs for the topmost 3 or 5 NLUs like NLSIU, NALSAR and NUJS in the recent years were around 95-100, which shows how competitive it is to get into an NLU. Also, an important point here to note is that you wish to get an NLU and not some traditional college hence, you should know that NLUs tend to have higher cutoffs regardless of their rankings. So, even if you aim to get a low ranking NLU then you must have a score of atleast 70+ and a lot of luck working in favour of you. Therefore, to get an NLU the lowest of marks that can be taken into consideration is around 70-75. Though this is mostly applicable to 'general' candidates and if you are SC, ST, OBC or State Candidate (I. e. , a candidate belonging from the same state where the NLU is situated) along-with a lot of luck then you may get some relaxation and get a seat at some NLU even if you have a lower score and a rank lying somewhere around 35,000 - 40,000.
