Hello,

To get admission to a Central or National Law University (NLU) like the National Law School of India University (NLSIU Bengaluru) or Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia NLU (Lucknow), you'll need to follow the CLAT (Common Law Admission Test) process.

Hope this helps. All the best!

If your mhcet law 2025 Is 80 marks with sc category Maharashtra domicile then you have very good chance for top law colleges in Maharashtra including ILS Law College Pune

The cut-off for MHCET 5-year law courses changes every year depending on several factors like the difficulty level of the exam, number of applicants, and availability of seats in colleges. Top law colleges like Government Law College (Mumbai), ILS Law College (Pune), and Rizvi Law College usually have higher cut-offs, often above the 110–115 marks range (or around the 90–95 percentile) for general category students. For reserved categories, cut-offs can be lower, but it varies with each round of counselling. If you want a reputed college, you should target the top 10–15% of scores in the exam. Once the MHCET Law result is declared, the State CET Cell releases a merit list, and on the basis of your rank, you can check the opening and closing ranks for each college in the CAP rounds. My advice is to aim for a score above the previous year's highest cut-off to have a safe margin. Keep in mind that location preference and college reputation also affect the closing rank.

• Practice Cases: It’s important. Solve as many case studies as possible from the ICAI study material, past year papers and RTPs (Revision Test Papers)/MTPs (Mock Test Papers). You will learn to be an independent thinker and writer.
• Do Section Numbers (Optional but Helpful): Though it was not essential for every solution that you are providing, quoting section numbers (especially in regularly queried provisions like Indian Contract Act) can fetch you few extra marks and would make you look like a person who knows the subject well.
• Write in Points: While answering descriptive questions, always write your answers in a very clear and concise manner, point-wise. Provide reader friendly headings and subheadings.
• Time Management: Try to write answers within the time duration. Allot time for each question while you practice and try a few mocks.
• Revision: Consistent revision is the secret to what all you read. Keep short notes or flashcards for rapid recall.

If you concentrate on these facets and practice regularly, you can highly prepare for CA Foundation Business Laws paper for Jan 2025 exams.
