Latest Review on NLU Assam

College Infrastructure

Best infrastructure with modern equipments. I would request aspirants not to go according to old article and make a prejudice against NLU Assam. They are all 2014 articles amd post. From 2014 to 2020 NLUA has risen and now standing among top law institutions.

Pleasant and worth the money.

College Infrastructure

One of the best campuses in India. NLU Assam has two big buildings and a separate building for library. Classes are air conditioned, spacious with a podium and all digital equipments fixed like smart boards . There is a sports complex under construction as of now. WiFi in the campus and hostels. Very well maintained. Living spaces are clean, however the quality of hostel food is low. Nonetheless, food is edible and there are shops nearby.

Have a question related to NLU Assam ?

Hello,

You haven't mentioned whether your query us regarding UG or PG course. As per the information available in your profile we consider that you are seeking admission in to UG course. The cut off in 2019 in round 3 for general category was as follows

  • NLU, Guwahati:1471
  • NLU, Shimla:1299

Looking at the cut off it is very difficult to get seat in these NLUs considering your rank. However, cut off is subjected to change depending on number of candidates appeared, difficulty of the exam and number of seats available for admission etc.

To know the possible colleges in which you may get seat you can use our CLAT college predictor

 https://law.careers360.com/clat-college-predictor?icn=QnA&ici=qna_answer 

What is the expected cut-off to get admission in PG programme of HPNLU and NLUJAA?

For NLUJA, Guwahati you'll have to score at least 110 and for HPNLU you'll have to get at least 108 in CLAT for general category students. But even if you manage to score this much it is not certain that you'll get into these colleges because there are several other factors also like the number of seats available for different category students and students having the state domicile. But it's always better to score more in order to be on the safer side. 

According to the cutoff of NLU Assam and NLU Shimla the closing rank for being admittes in NLU Assam is 1584 and to get admitted in an NLU Shimla the closing rank is 786 for general category. SO, it is difficult to get you to the seat in NLU as there is no chance for you to get admitted in n l u Assam or SHIMLA...

Good luck...
