I have got 49.75 in clat 2024 can I get cnlu with Bihar domicile and category is obc (ncl)

With a CLAT score of 49.75 and an OBC (NCL) category, it might be difficult to secure admission to CNLU (Chanakya National Law University), Patna, as their cutoffs can be higher. However, having a Bihar domicile could provide some advantage for the state quota, making it worth checking the previous year's cutoffs for the OBC (NCL) category. You can also consider reaching out to the college for more specific insights based on your rank and score.



Hello Aspirant,

Based on the analysis of previous year's cut-off and keeping some other factors in mind, as per your CLAT 2022 rank and category y ou have almost no chances in CNLU Patna even for state reserved seats .


But note that above prediction is based on previous year's data of cut-offs of different institutions and the cut-offs are bound to change every year depending upon the various factors such as

-->> Total number of candidates appeared in the CLAT 2022 entrance exam

-->> Difficulty level of Paper

-->> Top score

-->> The seat intake for the 5-year LLB / LLM program

-->> Total candidates from reservation categories (SC, ST, etc.)

-->> Previous year's cutoff trends

So don't assume it as final admission call from the respected institute. You will have to appear for seat allotment process.
