Since this thread has not been closed yet, I hope my answer is published. You have to understand that by May all the colleges take your NRIS docs and verify your application. The merit list of NLUJ shows the list till 1445. But in reality a lot of folks can’t end up affording the seats/ or their application gets rejected, plus they just don’t want it- so the seat passes on. If you verified yourself in the merit list, then you would get a mail which is easily the most transparent process. To save time and expedite the admission process (so that candidates start classes before the deadline), colleges start offering the seats to the candidate next in the list and don’t update them at the same time. Some colleges do. Like NLIU. Like HNLU. Even MNLU Mumbai didn’t update their list last year. What happened? They launched a vacancy notification in October. Last year a NRI domicile candidate got till 5.5 k in nujs in the merit list itself. So there was no vacancy notification. NLUJ closed till 3k. What my point is that don’t solely base your hopes on the website list. Colleges at the end just don’t update their respective lists. And it’s not only case of NRI-S rankings, it happens in case of general seats too. They may mail you and can update later.
