Hi, Snehal.

WBNUJS or NUJS, Kolkata is one of the first tier law schools in India. They offer admission through CLAT for which they have around 75 seats.

As I mentioned, to get admission into NUJS you will have to appear for CLAT and 12th boards performance does not matter in that regard. Just like any other competitive exam CLAT is a national law entrance test which you will have to clear and based on your merit ranking you will be allotted NLUs (one of which is NUJS) you will have to get an All India rank under 200 to be safely admitted into NUJS.


in 2019, for general category students, cut off for NUJS (rank wise) was:

Round 1 - opening rank 82/closing rank 203

Round 2 - opening rank 207/closing 226

Round 3 - opening 227/closing 227


I am attaching a link to more past cut offs (2018,17...)

apart from general merit based seats, NUJS offers some NRI/foreign national quota seats (the details of which you will find on their official website)


Hope it helped, if you are thinking of preparing for CLAT then best of luck. Drop any queries any time. Good day!

Sneha Salampuria Hi.
Unfortunately, no one can answer that with surety as ranks and marks differ each year based on the difficulty of a paper, number of candidates appearing, etc.
For example - CLAT changed its exam pattern just this year only, so CLAT 2020 was the first new pattern test and the topper scored 127 out of 150 marks. before 2020, CLAT used to be of 200 marks and cut off ranks varied year by year (2019 CLAT was an easy paper so selected candidates of NUJS scored around 160/200, while 2018 CLAT was well balanced so NUJS candidates scored around 125-30/200)
my point is, no one can tell exactly how much marks are needed for NUJS or any other college. so just aim for rank 1 and prepare accordingly!
