Hello

With an AIR of 4941 and a UP-EWS rank of 1043 in CLAT 2026, getting a top NLU may be difficult.
However, you still have chances in some newer and lower-ranked NLUs, especially in later counselling rounds.
NLUs like Tripura, Meghalaya, Manipur, Sikkim, and Andhra Pradesh can be possible options.
Your UP domicile with EWS may give a very slim chance at RMLNLU Lucknow, mostly in mop-up rounds. Seat availability changes a lot in later rounds, so don’t skip any counselling stage.
It’s good to keep private law colleges as backup options.

Hello

With 91.5 marks and an AIR of 1012, getting GNLU Gandhinagar is quite difficult in the general category.
GNLU usually closes at a much lower AIR (better rank) in the early counselling rounds.
However, if you belong to a reserved category or Gujarat domicile, your chances may improve slightly. Sometimes seats move in later or mop-up rounds, but it’s not guaranteed.
You should definitely participate in all counselling rounds. You can also refer to Careers360.com (//Careers360.com) for more details.

Hello,

No. You cannot join the 3rd round directly without registration.

If you did not register in Round 1 or Round 2, you must do fresh registration for Round 3 . You also need to pay the fee and fill choices.

If you registered earlier and did not get any seat, then you can participate in Round 3 without new registration.

So, registration is compulsory to take part in the 3rd round.

Hope it helps !

Hi

If you want to get admission in a budget flying school, then first check that it's approved by the DGCA. Then consider some factors like the instructor-to-student ratio and the placement records. I've mentioned some budget-friendly flying schools.

Here are some budget-friendly flying schools

  1. Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Uran Akademi (IGRUA), Amethi
  2. Madhya Pradesh Flying Club (MPFC), Indore
  3. Capt. Sahil Khurana Aviation Academy, Karnal
  4. Indra Gandhi Institute of Aeronautics, Chandigarh
  5. Carver Aviation, Baramati

I hope this information helps you.

Thank you.

Hello,

Yes, in India, some seats are reserved for women in certain areas. For example:

  • Education: Some schools, colleges, and universities have a certain number of seats reserved for female students.

  • Jobs: Some government jobs have a reservation or preference for women.

  • Politics: In local bodies like panchayats and municipal councils, 33% of seats are reserved for women.

However, there is no general reservation for women in all areas. It depends on the specific law, scheme, or organization.

Hope it helps !

Hello

With a score of 91.5 in CLAT UG 2026, your expected All India Rank would likely fall somewhere around AIR 500 to 1,000, based on previous years’ trends. The exact rank can shift depending on how tough the paper was and how other students performed. Since you belong to the OBC category, your category rank will be even better. This score definitely keeps you in a competitive range for several NLUs.

Hello,
With a projected CAT percentile of 87% but not clearing sectional cutoffs, your chances at top IIMs are limited because they require both overall percentile and sectional minimums. However, you still have a good shot at other reputed management institutes and non-IIM B-schools. Consider colleges like NMIMS, SPJIMR, IMT, TAPMI, Great Lakes, and other well-ranked private or state-level B-schools that accept CAT scores and weigh your profile holistically. Your academic record, BSc in Animation with 80%, and 5 years of work experience at Ubisoft India are strong points and may help in institutes that value work experience in their selection process. Also, explore institutes that accept XAT, MAT, or CMAT, where your profile can be competitive.
Hope this helps you.
