in my clat exam my air rank was 55000 and my catagory rank was 5000+ andhrapradesh women will i get seat in dsnlu at which councling will i able yo get seat

Hello,

Based on your CLAT AIR rank of 55,000 and category rank of 5,000+ (Andhra Pradesh Women), it's unlikely that you'll secure a seat in the top NLUs like NLSIU or NALSAR. However, DSNLU (Dr. B.R. Ambedkar National Law University, Srikakulam) may offer a possibility, given the previous year's cutoffs . Here's a breakdown:

1. Previous Year Cutoff for DSNLU : In 2023, the last rank for Andhra Pradesh (Women) was around 9,000–12,000 for the general category, and about 12,000-15,000 for women.
2. Category Advantage : As an Andhra Pradesh woman candidate, you may have a slight advantage over general candidates.
3. Counseling Round : You will likely be eligible for the 3rd or 4th round of counseling (depending on your final rank), but it could be close.
4. Decision : While not guaranteed, keep an eye on the counseling process and seat availability in your category.

Hope it helps !

Hi,

Based on the previous year analysis, According to your CLAT AIR and category you don't have any chances to get a seat at Damodaram Sanjivayya National Law University.

• Dr B.R Ambedkar National Law University, Sonipat
• Tamil Nadu National Law University, Tiruchirapalli
• National University of Study and Research, Ranchi
• Gujarat National Law University
• National Law Institute University, Bhopal
• National Law University, Jodhpur

Hello,

Based on your All India Rank (AIR) of 55,000 and category rank over 5,000 in the CLAT exam, securing admission to Damodaram Sanjivayya National Law University (DSNLU) in Visakhapatnam is unlikely. Historically, DSNLU's cutoff ranks for the BA LLB (Hons) program have been significantly lower. For instance, in 2024, the general category closing rank was around 1,390 , and for Andhra Pradesh domiciled candidates, the expected cutoff for women in the general category was between 7,000 to 7,500 . Given your rank, it is improbable to secure a seat in any of the counseling rounds. However, you may consider exploring private law colleges or other institutions with less competitive admission criteria.

There are some around 3000 seats in all the NLUs. The last rank goes upto 9000 for a seat in an NLU even in tier 3 nlus. Considering your rank and your category, it will not be possible for you to get in any of the NLU.

Last year The opening and closing ranks for the general category for the B.A. LL.B. (Hons.) course were 656–1390, and for the OBC category they were 2068–2940. The closing ranks for the first and last rounds of the B.A. LL.B. (Hons.) course were 1233 and 1390, respectively.

BUT keep checking websites of each university on regular intervals. What generally happens is, students take admission and then they leave the university. This happens around a month after the admission. In such a case University calls up for individual applications. It is not necessary that the University will call up for next best rank to fill up the seat. So if you get such notification, apply right away.

Secondly, you don't need to be disheartened. You can join any private college for now or keep preparing for CLAT 2026. Since age is not the bar now, you can give CLAT any number of times.

All the best :)
