Why is NLU Delhi not a part of CLAT?
There are 27 NLUs in India at present. Some of the top NLUs are- National Law University Delhi (NLU Delhi), NLSIU Bangalore, NALSAR Hyderabad and GNLU Gandhinagar.
NLU Delhi does not consider CLAT results for admissions. It conducts its own All India Law Entrance Test (AILET). 25 NLUs offer admissions based on CLAT results. NLU Meghalaya also does not conduct its admissions based on CLAT. Furthermore, NLU Delhi is not a part of the Consortium of NLUs.
Dr. Ranbir Singh, the founder of NLU Delhi, gave out a reason in 2012, stating that one of the reasons was that NLU Delhi would be CLAT's 13th Law School. Consequently, it would be the 13th pick when students filled out their choices. There are some financial and administrative concerns as well that have kept NLU Delhi from accepting CLAT results for admissions.

Why does NLU Delhi not have an LLB program?
I am a 2nd year BA LLB (Hons) student at NLU Delhi. NLU Delhi doesn’t offer a 3-year LLB program because of the following reasons:
- Most of the top National Law Universities (NLUs) in India offer a 5-year integrated BA LLB instead of a separate LLB program.
- The benchmark for legal education in India is a five-year integrated law curriculum, according to the criteria established by the Bar Council of India.
- The goal of the five-year BA LLB program is to offer a thorough legal knowledge that integrates legal theory and practice. The last few semesters focus on seminar courses.
- Law firms, corporate legal departments, and other organisations frequently give preference to graduates of five-year integrated programs since it indicates a deeper legal education than a three-year LLB program.
Even though NLU Delhi does not offer an LLB program, here are some of the top NLUs that provide this degree- NLSIU Bangalore and NLU Odisha.
You can opt for either of these colleges with a good CLAT score.
How many marks do you need as a general category student to get NLU Delhi?
You need to have a rank of at least 35-62 in AILET in order to get admission into BA LLB (Hons) or LLM at NLU Delhi. This means that you need to have a score of at least 90-85.
