Dear Ishika Baheti, 

Of course, why not? If you get around 110, your rank will be around 600 to 1200, which I dare say is a pretty good score. If you belong to OBC or SC or ST, you will have caste reservation. You will have gender reservation. If you want to join any college of your own state, you will have that preference too. So, yes, I think there is a pretty good chance you will get a good NLU. All the best !!!

Hope my answer helped. Don't hesitate to ask for further doubts. 

Dear Aspirant,

After analysing this year’s CLAT 2019 paper it can be said that this year’s paper was quite easy and therefore one can expect cut-offs to go high this year. An individual can expect cut-off to be around 155-160 mark for top National Law Schools (NLUs) and for lower NLUs it can go around 130-135. So now you can accordingly set your expectations for NLUs.

Good Luck!!

Dear Aspirant,

First of all congratulations on scoring such a decent score in CLAT 2019

Now coming to your query, after analysing this year’s CLAT 2019 exam it can be said that the paper was quite easy this year and one can expect cut-offs to go high this year; but as you’ve scored quite decent and being from ST category you’ve the advantage and might be able to crack in one of the NLUs.

The expected cut-offs for ST category for this year CLAT is expected to be around 120 for top NLUs and around 50 for lower NLUs in ST category. So now you can accordingly set your expectations for NLUs and I must say that according to your score you've got pretty good chances of making into one of the top NLUs. 

I hope this information was useful to you.

Thank you for your time and I wish you good luck for your future.

Hi Candidate! Your marks for nlu is low. As per the previous trends one must have to score between 130-150 to get a seat in nlu for general category student. If a candidate have marks in this range then one must get a seat in nlu easily. But according to your marks it is quite difficult for you.

Hope it helps.

Thanks.

You have good chances of getting into NLU Sonepat with this score of yours but in my opinion you should not take admission in such a lower ranked NLU. First of all it will be its first batch so you cannot predict how good it will be in future.Taking admission in such a college is a risk. Last year NLU Jabalpur also started its first batch and at present it comes under lower ranked NLUs. Moreover the biggest problem with NLU Sonepat is its location. If you just want to run after the tag then only go for it otherwise I would suggest you either join a private college(which would be much better than any such NLU) or you should take a drop and aim for a tier 1 or tier 2 NLU. I dont think so that it will be a sensible decision to take admission in such a lower ranked NLU because there will be no seniors to guide you and after five years you will face many problems. It is not even having its own campus, its under construction so you can predict how good it will be to take admission in such a college. Apart from this Harayana isn't a hub for law firms. In India there are three hubs for law firms- Delhi, Mumbai and Bengluru. So try to take admission in a good private college or you should take a drop to aim for a good NLU. All the best!

Dear candidate,

A small piece of advice for CLAT aspirants: Please do NOT join the lower ranked NLUs (anything after GNLU/HNLU).

It’s better to join a good law college in Delhi or Mumbai (or even Bangalore and Pune) than study in the lower ranked NLUs.

The reason is simple and two-fold.

One, in a city like Delhi or Mumbai you’d have something good (a conference, workshop, or a talk, etc.) happening nearly every weekend. Attending these would help you improve your knowledge/skills, develop your overall personality/self, and build your contacts.

Also, because you’d have a good number of quality organizations (NGOs, law firms, lawyer offices, etc.) based in these cities, you can easily opt for after-college hours internships which will again build your skills/knowledge and your contacts.

The above will translate into more avenues for all-round development and gaining ’employ-ability mileage’ (skills, experiences, networking, etc.)

The situation at the bottom NLUs is bad on nearly all fronts (except for the fact that your peer group will be smart and hard-working).

The situation is bad specifically on 2 fronts:

1. The placements at ALL lower ranked NLUs have been dismal throughout the years. Please check the stats on LegallyIndia and BarandBench and do your independent research.

2. Faculty (generally speaking) is pathetic across the colleges (including in top NLUs with an exception of NLU Delhi).

A lot of people have argued “Give these colleges time. Even NLSIU took time to build“. However, this argument has been going for way too long with no visible sign of things improving.

Sadly, no new NLU (with the exception of NLU Delhi) has shown even a glimmer of hope.

Sorry for being pessimistic here. But as I’ve said, there’s an alternative.

You might, yet again, assert: “No. NLUx will do well because of the NLU tag“. Well, it might. But if you have to answer “Will it do well?” by analyzing the NLU history and making an educated guess about its future, the answer will be a clear NO.

Hope the answer is helpful.

All the best.
