Awesome college

Have a question related to NUJS Kolkata ?

Can a student who belongs to a lower middle class family afford NLUs? I come from a lower-middle-class family in West Bengal and dream of attending WBNUJS, kolkata university. However, the high fee structure is hindering my dream.For days,I've been wondering and feeling depressed about whether I should pursue it.

Hello

Yes, attending an NLU like WBNUJS is possible for a student from a lower-middle-class family.

Many NLUs, including WBNUJS, offer financial aid, scholarships, and fee waivers based on merit or need. Additionally, government scholarships, private grants, and student loans are available to help cover fees.

It's important to research and apply for these opportunities. Speak to the university's financial aid office or senior students for guidance.

Don’t let fees discourage you—many students from similar backgrounds have successfully pursued their dreams with the right support and planning.

Hope it helps !

HI RAMIZA,

CONGRATULATIONS ON SUCCESS IN THE EXAMINATION.

CLAT CUT OFF changes every year. For NLU Kolkata BA LLB and LLM programs it will depend on several factors like -

Number of candidates for CLAT 2023

Number of candidates preferring NLU Kolkata during counselling

Number of places offered by the university in BA LLB and LLM programmes

University Reservation Policy

Category of candidates

FOR 2022 THE CUT OFFS WERE :

GENERAL- 579

GENERAL state domiciled- 1423

SC- 3172

ST - 3113

since general state domiciled is way beyond your state OBC rank so there is high probability of getting into this college under OBC seat.
