No, you cannot get into a National Law University (NLU) with a ULSAT score. NLU admissions for the 25 participating NLUs is done through the CLAT (Common Law Admission Test). For NLU Delhi the AILET is conducted. ULSAT is for UPES, not NLUs, so you need CLAT or AILET scores.

No, you can not appear for the ULSAT Exam without booking a slot. It must be noted that it is a important step for those appearing in the exam. If you are applying through CLAT scores, you can skip.
