According to some of the student reviews, I read online, I would say that the answer depends on your preparation for the entrance exam CLAT (Common Law Admission Test) if you wish to get into any National Law Schools/Universities in India.
Every exam is competitive since there are so many other students appearing for the exam along with you. NLSIU's intake is very minimal when compared to others. Its syllabus is quite challenging and the students there get prepared as quite good lawyers.
Roughly, you will have to make sure that you rank in the first 50 in All India Rank (AIR) if you belong to the general category, and you get a little more margin if you belong to any reservation category.
The only way that will lead you to NLSIU, Bangalore is scoring and ranking top in the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT).
It is a competitive exam and has 200 questions. Each question carries 1 mark. The test is conducted only once every year and the cut-off for every year for different colleges varies greatly.
Specifically for NLSIU, you need to rank in the first 50-60 in the general category. For the reservation category, you have 25-30 more seats. In order to crack the exam, you need to prepare well in advance and strategically.
Presently, only one college comes under the NLSIU tag and it is number one on the list. In order to get into NLSIU Bangalore, you have to make sure that your rank falls between AIR 1 to AIR 30.
Surely, there are other colleges as well that you can get into after cracking CLAT, the ones with the NLU and NALSAR tag. Here are some facts you should know about NLU.
Therefore try working harder for your CLAT exam, as the better your rank will get you admitted in your preferred colleges.
