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.
The 2024 closing rank for BA LLB (Hons) was 305 for the EWS category, in the AILET Counseling for NLU Delhi. With your rank of 646 in the EWS category, it is unlikely that you’ll get into BA LLB (Hons) at NLU Delhi.

At NLUD, the ratio is typically around 1:10 to 1:12, allowing for personalized attention and strong academic relationship. Some proffesors are really great such as Anup Surendernath and K.J. Sophy who are quite deeply well versed with their subject infact most of the faculty here is like this. though the examination is rigorous, which includes mid sem, projects and end sems in which you need a cumilative of 50 percent to pass that particular subject. The fail ratio is very less due to great academic help The curicullum coveres are the relevant areas of law and practical learning is also supported
