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.
