The acceptance rate of NUS stands around 5-10%. The university is very selective in admitting students to its law programs. Students who are interested in admission to this institution must meet the required eligibility criteria and submit the application form as soon as possible. The institute prioritizes early applicants & cannot guarantee admission to every eligible candidate due to limited availability of seats.
