The Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) 2015 has published the long-awaited full list of university allocations on its website at http://clat.ac.in/?page_id=725
This appears to be the list after the first reshuffled of results, which was published this morning. The website stated:
The following Under-Graduate candidates who have locked their choices have been admitted in the allotted NLUs. These students are directed to visit the allotted NLUs during 24-27 June, 2015 for payment of residual fee and completion of other formalities
In the general list, NLSIU Bangalore almost scored a clean sweet of toppers in the general list this year with ranks 1 to 58 in the unreserved category choosing India’s first national law school.
However, the third and 48th-ranked, who are both residents of West Bengal, chose NUJS Kolkata as their first choice in the preferences.
Last year five students defied NLSIU as the traditional first choice, with two opting for Hyderabad and three for NUJS.
Note: NUJS appears to only have 24 students allocated to it according to that list. We’re investigating and will update the story when we have a minute. We’ll also do a full preference analysis soon.
Via Twitter, Sahgal @AadityaSahgal explained why the list wasn’t final yet:
NUJS hasnt been allotted just 24. Just 24 have locked, the remaining would have upgraded, trying for NALSAR.
The system is simple. You can choose to lock, try to upgrade or withdraw. Anyone who tried to upgrade isnt in the list.
So when vacancies arent there at higher preference colleges, theyll just be allotted NUJS, eventually. Make sense? Look at the righmost column, titled status. You'll see that it is only a list of applicants who locked.

The article states, 'Last year three students defied NLSIU as the traditional first choice, with two opting for Hyderabad and one for NUJS.' while the link attached to the same, when opened, states that all three 'defected' to NUJS. Not that it matters at all, and I am definitely nit-picking here, but I'm sure I don't need to reiterate the importance of attention to detail to a website dedicated to the legal profession.

Brilliant point bro.
But then a person from a Hindi speaking small town can be smart too, right?
Get 40 more questions right and you get NLSIU.
As long as CLAT tests English in every section, it's hard for small towns.
The elite snobs will improve the records of NLUJ, HNLU and RML.
PS - The CLAT toppers from non-Hindi speaking states could very well be your average "urban elite snobs from premier schools in metros".
I am not sure if you are enlightened enough. It's sad to see folks like you assume that small town people have an issue with English. That's not correct. Not at all.
The smaller town of India have outstanding schools affiliated to ICSE and CBSE. Forget English, the chaps from Farakka, Jamshedpur and Kochi have won laurels for their school- in terms of national level debate and quiz competitions.
Check out the winners of Frank Anthony or similar national level debate/ESPN School Quiz/Bournvita Quiz Contest and see the names of the students and their school.
P.S. Debating requires impeccable English (or Hindi) and supreme confidence.
I am more interested in what this influx spells for the liberal culture of law schools. I hope this means more people embracing liberal attitudes and tolerance rather than replacing it with the kind of chauvinism and conservatism that we see in the IITs.
Cheers
I request LI to persuade CLAT to do the same for the llm aspirants too.
All hail Kian. He's our one true king; protector of the realm. :D
