1. BJP: Good chance of NUJS alum Jaiveer Shergill getting a ticket from Ludhiana. The BJP is not strong in Punjab, but if Modi mobilises a decent vote share + if the Congress, AAP and Akalis all contest separately and split anti-BJP votes, he may pull through. There is also another NUJS alum Lokenath Chatterjee, who made history by becoming the first ever NLU Vidhan Sabha candidate from a major party (in the 2021 Bengal assembly elections). However, he was involved in a controversy which has made his chances of getting a ticket weak.
2. Congress: HNLU alum Avani Bansal has a decent chance of getting a ticket from Chhattisgarh. She comes from an influential family and is a woman. She also has stellar academic credentials. Another person in the running is Muhammad Khan, who comes from a Congress family and is close to Jairam Ramesh. He too had impressive academic qualifications. He could get a ticket from UP. Both of them could win if they get a constituency with favourable demographics, such as heavy Muslim or Yadav populations.
3. AAP: NLSIU alum Brijesh Kalappa is pretty much the face of the party in Karnataka and will definitely get a ticket.
