Hello Aspirant,

With an AIR of 11,588 in CLAT 2025 and the OBC (Women) category rank of 2,068, your prospects at the top NLUs are not too bright. However, referring to the previous years' trends, you may have some chances of getting into some of the new/low-ranked NLUs in OBC-Women category. You can consider:

  1. NLU Sonipat (Dr. B.R. Ambedkar NLU)
  2. HNLU Raipur (in later rounds)
  3. DNLU Jabalpur
  4. MNLU Nagpur or Aurangabad
  5. MPDNLU (Bhopal) – depending on category cutoff trends
  6. RSNLU Ranchi or DSNLU Vizag – possible in spot or final rounds

you may not be able to secure a seat in the top NLUs like NLSIU Bangalore or NALSAR Hyderabad, but you do have a good  chance in some of the newer or lower-ranked NLUs. Institutes such as DNLU Jabalpur, HPNLU Shimla, NLU Tripura, or NLU Meghalaya you can opt for in the later rounds of counselling.  if you have a state domicile for any of the NLUs that offer such preference, your chances will improve further. take part in all rounds of counselling, and stay updated with the opening and closing ranks of each round. Also, consider private law universities that accept CLAT scores as a backup plan.

Dear Candidate ,
With an AIR of 11,588 and an OBC women category rank of 2,068 in CLAT 2025 , securing admission to top- tier National Law Universities ( NLUs) like NLSIU Bangalore , NALSAR Hyderabad , or WBNUJS Kolkata is unlikely, as their OBC category cutoffs typically within the top 1,500 ranks .
However you may consider the following Institutions -
- HNLU Raipur
-RGNUL Patiala
-CNLU Patna
- NUSRL Ranchi
- DSNLU Visakhapatnam.
