CLAT

The mode of National Law School of India University course admissions is online. Admission to various courses is based on merit and entrance exam scores. The accepted entrance exams are CLAT and others. Candidates applying through CLAT must first register for the CLAT exam. Then appear for the CLAT exam. Then check out the CLAT result and take part in the counselling round. 

Yes, you can get into the LLB programme offered at Ajeenkya DY Patil University without appearing for the CLAT exam. The university accepts students on the basis of their entrance exam (ACET for Law) conducted by the university. Those who clear then entrance exam are then called for personal interview for final shortlisting. Hence, there is no need to appear for the CLAT exam. Eligible students can apply for the LLB course by visiting the official website of the university.

For all degree programmes in Law, admissions will be based on the CLAT 2022 Scores and +2 aggregate taken in the ratio of 25% : 75% respectively. For all other degree programmes in Sciences, Arts, Commerce, Education, etc., admissions will be based on the qualifying exam marks.

Yes, candidates seeking admission to the Vel Tech BA LLB (H) programme can do so without appearing for CLAT. As per the official website, the university also offers direct admissions. However, students must note that students with a minimum of 45% in aggregate and above in CLAT are given prefrence over others.

With a CLAT score of 8314 AIR and an OBC rank of 1188, one can consider going for any of the Delhi government law colleges located in Delhi, which accept CLAT scores, including Campus Law Centre, Faculty of Law, and Law Centre II - those are all part of the University of Delhi.

All these factors may suggest that you stand little chance of getting into top NLUs because of your rank, but they usually have much relaxed cutoffs and, hence may allow you some leeway in the possibility of seeking admission under your category rank.

A private law college which accepts CLAT scores in a rank range of 21,000; options include:

• Alliance University (Bangalore),
• Sharda University (Greater Noida),
• UPES (Dehradun), and
• GD Goenka University (Gurgaon).

Most of these colleges have cutoffs that are not as rigid as the top National Law Universities but are really good at offering quality legal education. For each college, it is important to make confirmations about the cutoffs each year because it varies from year to year depending on various factors such as seat availability and total number of applicants. 

This will be a daunting task getting admission into one of the Kolkata national law schools with an all India rank of 40811 in CLAT 2025 and SC rank of 2800.

 But then to balance it with UPES in Dehradun or Sharda or even with Symbiosis Law School Pune-all accepting CLAT scores but are slightly relaxed concerning their cutoff ranges for your rank.

Some other names include Christ University, Bangalore, which accepts students based on their CLAT scores. 

And some time number of seats for specific category depends tooo.
