NLU Assam (NLUJAA) - National Law University And Judicial Academy Guwahati Answered Questions

It is difficult for me to accurately predict your chances of getting into the National Law University (NLU) based on the limited information you have provided. Admissions decisions at NLU and other universities are typically based on a variety of factors, including your academic record, scores on standardized tests, and other achievements and characteristics. To determine your chances of getting into a specific university, it is best to consider all of these factors and compare them to the university's admissions criteria and the profiles of past applicants who were accepted. I recommend contacting the admissions office at NLU for more information about their admissions process and to discuss your specific situation.

I hope with less score you mean a score less than 80 but more than 70-75 because if you are pointing towards and even lesser score then your chances of getting an NLU are slim and unlikely. It should be noted that the score are not the basis over which candidates are shortlisted rather it is the merit list that is taken into account directly for shortlisting. There is no fixed trend for the merit list as it keeps changing and varies each year depending upon the number of candidates appearing for the CLAT. Though it is preferred to make a strategy keeping in mind the most recent trend of merit list and cutoff rates because in that way you are likely to get atleast some other NLU even if it is not one of the top 3 or 5. The cutoffs for the topmost 3 or 5 NLUs like NLSIU, NALSAR and NUJS in the recent years were around 95-100, which shows how competitive it is to get into an NLU. Also, an important point here to note is that you wish to get an NLU and not some traditional college hence, you should know that NLUs tend to have higher cutoffs regardless of their rankings. So, even if you aim to get a low ranking NLU then you must have a score of atleast 70+ and a lot of luck working in favour of you. Therefore, to get an NLU the lowest of marks that can be taken into consideration is around 70-75. Though this is mostly applicable to 'general' candidates and if you are SC, ST, OBC or State Candidate (I. e. , a candidate belonging from the same state where the NLU is situated) along-with a lot of luck then you may get some relaxation and get a seat at some NLU even if you have a lower score and a rank lying somewhere around 35,000 - 40,000.

The chances of getting NUALS Kochi are very less because the total number of seats are 60 only, in which 31 seats are for state domicile. As per the OBC reservation only 9 seats are for state domicile OBCs. So chances are very less. For BA LLB, NUALS Kochi fee is around Rs. 2.07 lakh per year.
