Except for the RGNUL Punjab (situated in Patiala), no NLU through CLAT has less than 25% domicile reservation. The RGNUL has only 10% domicile reservation.
The NLUs with 25% domicile reservation:
NLSIU Bengaluru, NALSAR Hyderabad, NLU Jodhpur, GNLU Gandhinagar & Silvassa, NLU Odisha, NLUJA Assam, HPNLU Shimla, and NLU Sonepat
WBNUJS Kolkata has around 38% domicile reservation.
TNNLU Trichy has 45% domicile reservation.
There are as many as 14 NLUs with at least 50% domicile reservation. The only NLU with no domicile reservation is (as we all know) is NLU Delhi.
NLSIU Bengaluru did not have any domicile reservation for more than two decades, and then one fine day mediocrity struck.
Time and again, there are discussions on this platform about NLUs being nationalized. This is the latest one going on...
https://www.legallyindia.com/convos/topic/447571-Institute-of-National-Importance-for-NLU-s
This is what state NLUs have to give up, should they choose the nationalization path. The questions are:
> How likely are those who benefit from the domicile quota system willing to give up this backdoor entry scheme?
> How likely are respective state governments willing to cede control of their state NLUs?
Therefore, any discussion on the nationalization of state NLUs is a fantasy, a complete non-starter.
