I gave CLAT to get into NLUs but only the top ones. NUJs and GNLU were my top choice. Even with Gujarat domicile I couldn't get admission to GNLU and then the best possible law college of Gujarat is indeed ILNU. So I took admission here in my CLAT rank which was 13000.

GNLU and NUJs were my first picks but couldn't managed admission there and hence the only choice I was left with was Symbiosis Law School but I was getting in their Noida branch. If it was Pune I would have taken admissions there but then I learned about Nirma and learned that it is as good as any other private Law Colleges in India and thus on the basis of my CLAT Score, I got admission here.

After missing out on GNLU, I wanted to be in the same vicinity as Nirma too is a top level university for law. Same procedure as CLAT score is considered and even though the university has its own entrance too for MBA but for Law if one has appeared for the Law and has over 50% in 12th they stand eligible for admission in ILNU.

I applied at ILET as hailing from Ghaziabad i thought Delhi would be close as well and ranking wise it is definitely the best law college or India. Unfortunately though I couldn't get there and I was clear that i will look for private options. So in private three options stood out and they were KPMSOL, SLC Pune, and ILNU. ILNU looked the best and thus with the CLAT Score I had, I got the admission here.

NLUs are a dream of every student and mine was the same. However, it were the top 5 NLUs as I was certain that if I didn't get there then I will switch to private options. In private options, ILNU is arguably the best and the one which has the most comprehensive admission process and also the course.

I gave CLAT and our of 150, I got 119. The cut-off for GNLU was 128 nd therefore I couldn't make it and was getting offers from NLUO, RGNUL and others. ILNU is far better but fees is high so, I took some thinking and then compared published articles, research opportunities and placements opportunities. Hence, if you want to do from Gujarat and you don't get GNLU, ILNU is the second best option here.

ILNU became the first private law college in India who started accepting CLAT score and students who rank between 2000-5000 from general category are the ones who are accepted. For SC/ST and other reserved category students the rank has to be between 5000-15000. So besides that there's no way out here.
