Q:   Can I get The Rajiv Gandhi National University of Law, BA LLB (Hons) with a 76 percentage in 12th class?
A: 

Yes, with a 76 percentile in your 12th class, you have a chance of being admitted to the Rajiv Gandhi National University of Law (RGNUL), BA LLB (Hons). Your chances, however, will be based on how well you do on the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) as well as how competitive the year is overall.

The main criterion taken into account for admission to the BA LLB (Hons) programme at RGNUL is the CLAT. It is still possible to get into a university with a little lower 12th class percentage if you have a great CLAT score.

To create a shortlist of candidates for the personal interview (PI) stage, your percentage from your 12th grade will be used. Still, your admittance is not decided by the percentage alone.
The admissions procedure gives more weight to your CLAT score. A little lower 12th class percentage can be made up for with a good CLAT score.

You will receive an invitation to a PI if you are selected for further consideration. Your legal aptitude, communication abilities, and general programme fit are evaluated by the PI. You should concentrate on attaining a good CLAT score in order to improve your chances of being admitted to RGNUL, especially considering your 76 percent in 12th class. To establish oneself as a formidable contender, aim for a CLAT score in the upper percentile.

Remember that admission is difficult, and having a high CLAT score does not ensure admission. However, you can greatly increase your chances of being accepted into RGNUL's BA LLB (Hons) programme with a solid CLAT score and a well-prepared PI.
