Colleges in Assam

Assam University can be considered competitive as admission is based on the entrance exam scores. Courses such as BTech in Computer Science and Engineering are hard to get due to the high cutoff in JEE Main. For other courses, the university accepts the CUET UG exam. 50% of BTech seats are reserved for the permanent residents of Assam, and the remaining 50% are for All India candidates. However, admission also depends on academic performance and individual preference. 

To get into an NLU through CLAT, your rank depends on the NLU's tier and your category. For top NLUs like NLSIU, NALSAR, and WBNUJS, a rank under 500 is required. Mid-tier NLUs like HNLU, RMLNLU, and NLUO admit candidates with ranks between 500-4000. Lower-ranked NLUs accept candidates up to 12000 ranks. Category-based reservations lower the cutoff for SC/ST/OBC/EWS candidates. A General category student should aim for a rank under 4000 to secure an NLU seat. Higher ranks may still secure admission in later rounds. 

Your CBSE Class 12th percentage (75%) meets the CLAT eligibility criteria, as the minimum requirement for General/OBC/EWS candidates is 45% (40% for SC/ST). However, NLU admission is based solely on your CLAT rank, not your 12th percentage.
