    Q:   How are CNLU LLM seats allocated?
    A: 
    CNLU splits its intake mainly along with the rank obtained by the candidates in the Common Law Admission Test, CLAT.

    A: 

    The Chanakya National Law University has a very competitive LLM course with the minimum number of seats intake. The sanctioned number of available seats for CNLU LLM varies every year, and with that, the availability according to the admission level. However, the total intake of seats for the LLM course is 60. However, the university reserves the right to revise the seat allotment. The above-mentioned seat intake is sourced from the official website/sanctioning body. This is still subject to change; hence, the same is indicative.
