The Common Law Admissions Test (CLAT) committee has published an updated university allotment list, after candidates complained about the previous list, which contained errors.
The official CLAT website stated this morning:
“Consequent to consideration of representations with respect to allocation of Law Schools/Universities has necessitated reshuffling based on merit cum preference.
Accordingly provisional list of admission and allocation of Law Schools/Universities published on 28th May 2012 is hereby modified/substituted. It is made clear that fees already deposited with any Law School/University shall be transferred to re-allotted Law School/University.
Further, any clarification/representation can be made on or ”
Legally India reported yesterday that Justice NN Mathur, vice-chancellor of NLU Jodhpur and 2012 CLAT convenor, admitted that the university allotment list that was published on Monday may have contained inaccuracies due to human error and that all complaints would be dealt with “judiciously”.
Legally India’s preliminary analysis of CLAT takers’ preferences has revealed that NUJS Kolkata is more popular than NLIU Bhopal, with the average CLAT rank of the top-ranked 30 students who were allotted NUJS now being 116.5, compared to an updated “Super 30” rank of 185.2 at NLIU Bhopal.
Legally India had reported on Tuesday that in the originally published list, which was questionable at the time, NLIU was more popular than NUJS with a Super 30 rank of 144.5, compared to NUJS’ 157.7.
Full analysis of preferences to follow shortly.
Hat-tip to Clatgyan for first breaking the news, and compiling the individual university allotment documents into one file.

NLIU is clearly No.4 in the pecking order, and rightfully so (Conceding that NUJS is the deserving No.3.
If you wait long enough, you will see LI come out with similar (if not identical) stats.
@Pavithra: NLU-Assam is a new institution. Therefore, its not been long enough to say whether its good enough. However, because of its location, and the large number of such NLUs it is unlikely to become very good. Keeping that in mind, I suggest you prepare for another year and give the CLAT. Even if you don't make it to an NLU next year, you can join institutions like Christ, Symbi, ILS, GLC, CLC etc. which are probably better than NLU-Assam.
NLUJ, NLIU and GNLU form the next rung but none is even close to the above mentioned trio.
Interestingly, after NLUJ, NLIU and GNLU the situation gets even worse.
RMLNLU and HNLU really do not inspire confidence.
The situation is this:
Tier 1: NLSIU, NUJS, NALSAR
HUGE GAP
Tier 2 : NLIU, NLUJ, GNLU
EVEN A MORE HUGE GAP
Tier 3: HNLU, RMLNLU
DO NOT GO
Tier 1: NLSIU
Huge Gap
Tier 2: NALSAR, NUJS
Small Gap
Tier 3:
NLUJ, NLIU, GNLU
Even a More Huge Gap
Tier 4:
RMLNLU, HNLU
Faculty, anyone? NUJS has, undoubtedly, the best faculty in the country, something which even your professors at NALSAR (and several professors at NLSIU) have acknowledged. Wouldn't be so careless with my words if I were you.
A nice Reality Distortion Field you've created for yourself. Not only with the first sentence but with both of them.
well said mate!! these guys generate their own stats when it come to their placement. All those placement figures in the so called top tier firms are also a load of hogwash.. and who branded these firms as top-tier anyway... I think they just went ahead and took a cue from their favourite hunting ground in Kolkata and self-proclaimed themselves as tier one.
And who cares about all these facts and figures anyway..We are the youth, the soul of this nation; if we believe something to be a piece of crap it better be..
If you're making a statement, at least back it up with some logical arguments.
naah!! mine is bigger than yours....
What Nagarbhavi Logic won't tell you is Jodhpur and Bhopalipatnam both end where Gandhinagar starts. Thats understandable though since Nagarbhavi logic doesn't work beyond double digits. [yeah, a backhanded compliment]
I'm a little bored, so I'm going to do a little statistical work here:
Below Rank 100, NLU-J has one kid, and NLIU has none
Below 110 (cumulative, including the kids below 100), NLU-J has 2, and NLIU has 4
Below 120 both have 5
Below 130, It's 6-5 to NLU-J
Below 140, It's 6 all,
Below (and including) 150, its 7 each
Below 160, it's 10-7 to NLIU
Below 180, it's 11-8 to NLIU
Below 190, it's 13-10 to NLIU
Below (and including) 200, it's 16-10 to NLIU
Below 210, it's 22-11 to NLIU
Which means, essentially, that for those who could have gotten into NUJS (or possibly NALSAR) but chose not to, NLIU was clearly a preferred option over NLU-Jodhpur. That could be statistically significant, or it could be two examples of poor judgment by the same person.
It gets interesting after this though, because it takes only till rank 240 for both colleges to be at 27 students each, and NLU-Jodhpur has 46 students with ranks lower than the 33rd and last student to make it into NLIU on a general seat. So while NLIU would have a significantly lower top 30 average than NLU-Jodhpur, its actually more difficult to be in the top 30 at NLU Jodhpur, though only just.
Could LI provide figures on how many NLSIU eligible students preferred NUJS and NALSAR instead?
I would have indeed shifted, had NLS for example produced a single Senior Advocate at the Supreme Court after having existed for 20 years. None of the Nationals have, how does it make a difference for someone interested in litigation ?
Go and read up a little son, and you'll understand what difference law school can make, has made and will make.

kids, there is NLS and then there are the NLU's. the choice is for you to make.
It is strange that there's such an overwhelming favourite between NALSAR and NUJS. From everything you here on fora such as this, and even in popular discourse at various law universities, it appears that these two are fairly even, with several people even giving NUJS a slight advantage. Clearly the batch of 2017 disagrees :-)
And NLS has produced senior advocate(s). it's unfair to expect any of the other law universities to have, because it just hasn't been long enough since their first batches graduated!
What a joke!! This kid is either a super-liar or a complete nut if he or she really had the option to go to NLS but did not "ship out" of the backwoods of bhopal or whatever simply cos there are no senior counsel from NLS.
NLS alumni are indeed practising in various courts and doing well. Obviously with the oldest being only 36-37, you cant expect too many "seniors". That said, practice is bloody difficult and it is a testament to NLS that these graduates have forsaken cushy firm jobs to do litigation.
Bhopalis, hyderabadis etc do litigation for lack of options. We do it because we want to.
