If the rank you're mentioning is your all India rank then you have good chances in these NLUs if you fall in general category 

  • HNLU Raipur 
  • GNLU Gandhinagar 
  • RMLNLU Lucknow 
  • RGNUL Patiala 
  • CNLU Patna 
  • NUALS Kochi 
  • DSNLU Visakhapatnam 
  • NUSRL Ranchi 
  • NLUJA Guwahati and all the other newer NLUs. 

But if you belong to reserved category then then you can very easily get any of the top 5 NLUs. 

Hey.
The cut off for admission in RMNLU Lucknow in the previous year for the State Other Backward Classes
Was a a rank of 758 and for the State Other Backward Classes Women was a rank of 975.
Hence if your All India rank falls within the similar range of your category, only then you'll have fair chances. Considering your AIR your chances seem less.

With the all India rank and the category rank you're mentioning I'm afraid you won't get any NLUs even with a state domicile. But you can definitely look out for other good private colleges like ICFAI Law school Hyderabad, Techno India Salt Lake Kolkata and the like.

Hi Vaibhav,

       It is quite difficult for you to get a seat in an NLU according to your score. There are only a total of 2300 seats in all NLUs. And moreover, the lowest closing rank for NLUs has been around 1600 and lesser in the previous years. But you can try for private colleges with your rank. All the best!!!

Hello Eshitaa
Congratulations for your result.
According to last year's cut off the closing rank for general goes upto 1588 in NLUJAA Guwahati.

So according to your general rank 4522 you have very less chances to get admission in any NLU.

You can check last year's cut off for CLAT using this link:

Thank you

Hello Amanda,

CLAT is one of the toughest examination in India to get admission in different NLUs across country.

With your above mentioned rank and category it'll be quite tough to get admission in RMNLU even in last round of counselling but you may get lower NLUs in last round of counselling.

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.
