NLU Delhi Q&A on Admission, Fee, Courses, Placements, Cutoff

Hy Sarfaraaz!!
Although Clat is very uncertain but after analysing the cutoffs of the past years it can be concluded that if you get around 80 marks there are chances of you getting a good nlu. but as you know that a clat committee has been made this year which is taking care of the CLAT examination, so the cut-off might get affected with the decisions of the committee. so it is better for you to score good marks in clat in order to get in the top 5 nlus, I would recommend you to have at least 85 marks for being on the safer side.
If you have any doubt related to clat or your career feel free to ask .
Prepare well for clat and stay motivated.
Good luck!!

I missed my deadline for AIELTS and CLAT due to family issue.... Can I apply in NLU delhi

Hey Anjali.
Admission in National Law University, Delhi is done through entrance called AILET. The application process for the same started in January and the last date to apply was 15th April.
There is only one mode of admission in NLU Delhi and that is AILET. This college does not accept admissions through any other mode. Hence applying for AILET was mandatory for admission here. So, sorry to say but you will be be able to apply now and take admission in NLU Delhi for this session. You may apply next year on time though.
Best of luck

I am scoring in the range of 115 in moderate level CLAT mocks and 130s in easy CLAT mocks of career launcher, can I get top 5 nlu?

Hey Manav.
The marks required for admission in the top 5 NLUs differs each year due to several factors like the level of difficulty of the paper, level of competition and much more. In the previous years, some year the marks required were more than 120 and in some year it was more than 140. So it varies accordingly, and an accurate estimate can't be made for this. So what you can focus on now is to practice as many papers as you can. Try to time it while you're practising too which will help you to learn how to manage your time in the exam hall. Focus a lot on the Current affairs section and the legal awareness section. Practice the part you're weak in. Stay focused and healthy.
Best of luck!

is NLU Delhi better than Christ University and other NLUs?

Hi Sudesh,

First of all there is no doubt that NLU Delhi is much better than Christ University. NLU Delhi is considered to be IIT and IIM of Law Education. The placements and quality of education also contributes towards high ranking of NLUs as compared to Christ University. Apart from placements, the fee structure at Christ University is tremendously high. NLU is a Public University whereas Christ University is a private one. If you've to make a choice between an NLU and Christ University then no doubt go for NLU.

Hope this information will help you!

All the best!

I started my preparation for clat only 3 days ago.. I determined to achieve seat in nlu this year.... I am weak in current affairs,english.

Hey.
The Syllabus of CLAT includes a total of 5 sections. Here is the section wise syllabus of CLAT-
1. General Knowledge and Current Affairs- 50 questions for 50
2. Legal Aptitude- 50 questions for 50 marks
3. English- including Comprehension questions 40 for 40 marks
4. Logical Reasoning- 40 questions for 40 marks
5. Elementary Mathematics-20 question for 20 marks.
In case you are looking for an all inclusive guide then the best one is- Universal's guide to CLAT and LLB. Other good guides for the same are- Arihant's guide for CLAT and Pearson's guide to CLAT.
Here are some tips for preparation for each individual section of CLAT along with individual sources for each.

General Knowledge- The GK Section includes both Static GK as well as current affairs. For gstatic general knowledge you can refer to the Concised size Pearson or the Arihants guide.

For current affairs, first of all develop a habit to read newspapers daily. The Hindu is the newspaper preferred by various CLAT Aspirants. It not only builds a strong base for General knowledge but will also help you in your verbal ability section.

There is a site called GK today.in which you can go to for current affairs. They have daily quizes based on current affairs which has been proved very usefull for CLAT preparation.

English- In case you are looking for a separate book For Vocabulary you can refer the book Word Power Made Easy by Normal Lewis. You will come across various words while reading the newspaper too, prepare a list, go through them regularly and try to use them in sentences. You should read the Editorial section of the Hindu for your Reading section as well as Vocabulary section of CLAT. For the reading section practicing your sample questions while timing it would prove usefull.

For grammar you can use the Wren & Martin.

Mathematics- The weightage of the maths section is very less in CLAT. Also the syllabus included elementary level of Mathematics. Hence, if you purchase an all inclusive guide, then practicing for it would suffice.

Logical Reasoning - For Quantitative aptitude in case you are looking for a separate book then quantitative aptitude by RS Aggarwal can be used. Other wise Universal's guide to CLAT or Arihant guide is also sufficient for CLAT. Make sure that you go through the previous year question too.

Legal Aptitude- Universals guide to CLAT and LLB, Pearson CLAT Guide are considered the best for this section. Fo through the basics of handling the questions of this section at first, and then utilise it to practice from these guides or any other source online, previous year papers etc.

Make sure that you go through the past year question papers and practice them along with sample papers. This will help you to have an idea about how to attempt the paper, the level of questions for each section, and how to manage your time well.

If you are planning to take any coaching in institutes like Career launcher, Bulls eye etc then their reading material covers all aspects. You can refer the books listed above in case you need separate books for any or the sections.

Best of luck!

state board open schooling is valid for Private job. if i am complete my BALLB from NLU and any outher university.

Hii

For the purpose of jb, your schooling does not make much difference, its you highest degree and its college which is taken into consideration.
Talking about open schooling, Its is valid in India and has been approved by Education department of the govt of india. SO ofcourse open schooling is valid every where. May that be job or any higher education.
For job what actually matters is if you have all the required skills and degree which the company expect from its employee.
SO you schooling was done from a govt school , a private school or open schooling does not make difference all you need to focus on is to improve the skills required for a particular job.
The higher the degreee and skills, more is the chance of employement and higher salary.

Hope this helps
Thanks!!

College Infrastructure

Our library and classrooms are brilliant. There is a lot of space available. Recently, our campus has become denser due to NCR reservations. Wi-Fi quality is down, but it is still good. The food is fine. Sports facilities are also improved gradually.

Best college life experience in the best college.
