Hi...

Colleges You Can Get With Your CLAT Rank (General Guide)

Since you didn't mention your exact CLAT rank, here's a helpful list of law colleges that accept CLAT scores, including National Law Universities (NLUs) and good non‑NLU options, including options for mid to higher ranks. All these accept CLAT for UG law programs (BA LLB / BBA LLB): 

1. National Law Universities (NLUs)

These are the most reputed law schools in India through CLAT, but they have varied cutoff ranges depending on category and rank: 

Higher Cutoff (Top NLUs)

• NLSIU Bengaluru — top‑ranked law school

• NALSAR University of Law, Hyderabad

• WBNUJS Kolkata
  These typically require higher ranks (top few hundred to a couple thousand general category). 

Mid‑Range NLUs

If your rank is higher (e.g., 2 000–10 000), you may still have chances at:

• NLU Jodhpur

• GNLU Gandhinagar

• RMLNLU Lucknow

• NLIU Bhopal

• DSNLU Visakhapatnam

• CNLU Patna

• NUALS Kochi / NUSRL Ranchi

Some NLUs admit students even beyond 20 000+ ranks depending on seat availability and category.

2. Other Good Law Colleges Accepting CLAT Score

If your rank isn't high enough for top NLUs, there are strong alternative colleges affiliated with CLAT:

GGSIPU & Constituent Law Colleges (Delhi)

• Vivekananda Institute of Professional Studies (VIPS)

• Maharaja Agrasen Institute (MAIMS)

• Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University law seats
  These often accept higher CLAT rank ranges and have decent placements and infrastructure. 

Private Universities / Law Schools

These also admit through CLAT and can be good choices for law careers:

• Symbiosis Law School, Pune

• Nirma University – Institute of Law (Ahmedabad)

• NMIMS School of Law (Mumbai / Navi Mumbai / Bangalore)

• UPES School of Law, Dehradun

• Alliance University – School of Law (Bengaluru)

• Christ University School of Law (Bengaluru)

• Saveetha University, Chennai

• SASTRA University Law (Tamil Nadu)

• Bennett University – School of Law (Greater Noida)

• ICFAI Law Schools (Hyderabad, Dehradun etc.)
  These colleges often accept mid to lower CLAT rank ranges (ranks 3 000–30 000+) depending on category and year. 

If Your Rank is Higher (e.g., 5 000–30 000+)

Even if you don't make it into top NLUs, you can still get admission into good law schools like:
 Nirma University
 Symbiosis Law School Pune
 VIPS / IPU law seats
 UPES School of Law
 Alliance University
 Christ University
 ICFAI Law School programmes
These all accept CLAT scores and offer industry‑oriented curriculum and placements.
