Hello,

Based on previous year trends for CLAT OBC category:

  • Top NLUs like NLSIU Bengaluru and NALSAR Hyderabad usually close OBC seats with ranks around 1200–1500.

  • Middle NLUs like NLIU Bhopal, WBNUJS, NLU Jodhpur, GNLU, HNLU generally close OBC seats in the range of 1300–3000, sometimes up to 4000.

  • Lower-ranked or newer NLUs, especially in later rounds, have seen OBC closing ranks above 5000–8000.

With your OBC rank of 5303:

  • It is very unlikely to get a seat in top or middle NLUs in early rounds.

  • You may have a chance in later rounds or at lower-ranked NLUs if seats remain vacant.

  • There is no guarantee, but it is worth participating in all counselling rounds and filling your choices.

You can also use our CLAT College Predictor Tool to predict which colleges you can get based on your score and rank.

Hope it helps !

Hello,

With your All India Rank of 5550 (Women 3130) and UP Domicile/Women reservation, getting into RML NLU is highly possible, especially due to the significant advantage of your UP state quota (Home State) rank, which drastically lowers competition due to the lower comparison to AIR.

I hope it will clear your query!!

Hello Punit,

An All India Rank of 70,079 might feel discouraging, however a PwD Category rank of 344 is more significant for your admission. The CLAT follows a system of  horizontal reservation for PwD Category which means, seats are reserved within each vertical category( General, SC, ST). Now based on your given metrics, you have a fair chance of securing a seat in National Law Universities, though you might not be able to make in the top-tier NLUs. Therefore do not loose heart if you are not able to secure a seat in the first round of counseling.

I hope this information helps you.

Thankyou.

Hello candidate,

1. NLSIU Bangalore

2. NALSAR Hyderabad

Thank you. Feel free to ask for more.

Hello,

NLU admissions mostly use the All India Rank (AIR) to select the suitable candidates during all-India counselling.

Also, the rank influence plays a vital role in the admission process.

With the provided seats, the candidates are chosen based on the marks, AIR, and seat allotment with reference to the candidate's category.

Hope it helps with your query.

Hello,
With an All India Rank of 54116, an All India OBC Rank of 12129, and being in the UP OBC category, your chances of getting admission into RMLNLU Lucknow are very low. RMLNLU is a national law university with high cutoff ranks. For general seats and even for OBC seats, the closing ranks are usually much better than your current rank.

You may still participate in the counselling process and fill your choices, but you should also look at other law colleges where the cutoff is more relaxed. Many private law colleges and some state universities offer good law programs where your current rank may be acceptable. Make sure to complete the counselling formalities on time and explore all available options. If you want, I can share a list of other law colleges where your rank may have better chances.

Good Morning, candidate,

With an all-India rank of 3531 and an OBC rank of 163 in 2026, the candidate can get mid-tier to decent NLUs. For instance, TNNLU Tiruchirapalli, MNLU Mumbai, NUSRL Ranchi and newer NLU like CNLU Patna.

Thank You.

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.
