    On Seats
    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. The better rank in CLAT automatically helps obtain a seat for the LLM course and finally depends upon the availability of seats and the preference exercised at the time of CLAT counselling. This is the reason why one has to score well in the CLAT entrance so that the chance of obtaining a seat at CNLU increases for the LLM course.
    Q:   How many seats are available at CNLU for the LLM course?
    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.
