Hello Greeting,


'To find out if you can get a seat at KPMSOL (Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology, School of Law) with a merit rank of 1430 in the NLAT (National Law Admission Test), you need to look at their past cutoff trends. "KPMSOL has a tough admission process. In previous years, the NLAT cutoff for top law schools usually falls between 700 and 1500, depending on things like the number of applicants, reservation rules, and how many seats are available'.

With a merit rank of 1430, you might be close to the cutoff. For the most accurate details, check KPMSOL's official cutoff list for this year.

Thank you

The CLAT ranks below 1000 are enough for getting INLU of Nirma University.

No, its not at all mandatory to give CLAT to become a lawyer. Candidates can enroll in Law courses offered by various universities and colleges to pursue UG and PG law courses. However, those who wish to take admission in one of NLUs except NLU Delhi will have to appear for Common National Admission Test (CLAT).

With a 66 percentile in the MHT CET for the 5-year LL.B. program, admission to top law colleges in Maharashtra may be challenging, as they typically have higher cut-off scores.
