Yes, it is possible to get into a top-rank NLU such as NLSIU, NALSAR or WBNUJS, etc. But this all depends on the strategy you have prepared. There are some CLAT achievers who join for a crash course. They study 8 hours a day rigorously. So, to get the same performance in 1 month is nearly impossible.

• For CLAT GK is a crucial component. It comprises 50 questions.
• You need to go through 1 year of Current Affairs focused on the CLAT pattern which comprises awards, political and executive appointments, mergers, etc.
• Download old CLAT papers and look into the types of questions. 
• After that, make a strategy and prepare accordingly.
• The Maths section is of basic level. So going through NCERT books will be a lot of help.
• Verbal is about reading, grammar, and vocabulary. So revise your grammar concepts from your books.
• Legal Aptitude is the most crucial element in CLAT and comprises 50 questions and here where tuitions play a role. 
• A good law teacher can help you crack CLAT without any hurdles.
• Logical reasoning is again like maths, reading, and logic. This requires you to master the concepts and practice immensely.

So, it is suggested that you join the tuition classes for a crash course and dedicate 8 hours of your time to CLAT preparation. Cracking CLAT will only be possible if you work hard.

Usually, six of India’s major corporate law firms offer around 1,00,000 to 1,15,000 as a monthly remuneration at the entry level. Apart from that, there is generally a yearly bonus of around 1 to 2 Lacs. 

An average entry-level associate usually earns around 14 Lakhs Per Annum which is a good amount nonetheless. Apart from that, there are a variety of other institutes that pay somewhat in the same range, if not equal.

Only recently, there are multiple mid-tier firms that are generating comparable packages. However, foreign law firms comparably pay a higher amount. The packages sometimes range around INR 40,00,000 per annum. In simple words, this is the basic remuneration they generate for fresh graduates, which gets higher with your experience. 

The opportunities are open equally for different law schools, let alone NLSIU and NALSAR. 

CLAT is an aptitude entrance test to get into Law institutes such as top NLU’s, NALSAR, NLIU, NUJS, etc. According to one of my friends who was in a similar situation, 4 months is a sufficient time for anyone to crack CLAT provided they study with focus, commitment. 

The ways to follow through the preparation of CLAT: -

• Joining a successful coaching institute. 
• They generally start with a crash course program in a very highly competitive atmosphere. 
• They provide the right materials, motivation for the students to excel. 
• They provide mock tests on a regular basis to see where you stand.
• Studying on your own is also an excellent choice if you know about the pattern and questions. 
• Contact any coaching for the mocks and material and get yourself enrolled in an online program. 
• Study and revise the topics through the recorded sessions as per your choice. 
• They give you all the practice material and help you devise the proper strategy to crack the exam.

It is definitely possible to crack CLAT in a 4 month time with proper guidance and dedication. So do not worry and go ahead with your decision.

Strategy is something that you need to design on your own. What worked for someone else may not work for you. There may be a common ground of how to go about some subject for your CLAT preparation. But no one can give you any full proof plan. You need to develop your own strategy based on your strengths and weaknesses. 

Now let’s discuss whether you can clear CLAT with one month of preparation or not. It depends on your level of preparation. 

• If you are starting from scratch, then it will be quite difficult. Since the new format of CLAT demands consistency and regularity to secure a decent score. And it takes time to get to the level of that preparation. But if you are gifted with great comprehension and reasoning skills then I guess you can prepare for the examination in one month. 
• Now if you already have a hang of the subjects but are not confident about your preparation, then I will suggest you practice as many critical reasoning questions and comprehension as you can.
• If you have missed GK for a few months catch up on it and attempt a few sample questions to get the hang of the new pattern. 
• For logical reasoning don’t just solve the sample paper released by the Consortium, solve past years’ questions too. The consortium itself acknowledged that past years’ questions can be useful. 
• For Quantitative Aptitude, solve questions from the internet or from study materials. Apart from a few questions, this section is generally easy. 

So if you have a hang of the subjects, consistent practice is the key to ace the test.

It depends upon whether or not you can improve your score over time. Here are some tips which can be helpful. 

• If you have enough time until the final exam, try to score better in mocks. It needs time and efficiency. 
• However, if you are seemingly running out of time, then it is best that you stop scrutinizing the required syllabus, and begin solving more mock papers so as to analyze them later. Find out your weak areas and strategize accordingly. Often strategy can make a huge difference.

So, study smart and efficiently. 

In general, banks do provide loans to the students who have gotten admission in NALSAR. In addition to that, the Central Government offers a number of scholarships to the students belonging to the SC/ST category and the packages they get are less than INR 2 lakh. The state governments offer scholarships to the students for pursuing higher studies.

NALSAR has scholarships, loans, and fee concessions. Apart from these, the institute also facilitates access to student loans from banks. 

The university is also in liaison with the Centre and the State to make sure that all the government schemes for financial aid are made available to the students.

The fee structure which has been implemented at DS NLU is the same for everyone except for the students who are admitted into the institution based on various quotas like NRIs, Vacancies, Upgradation, and the other ones which are applicable at the institution. 

My friend is currently pursuing a course at DS NLU so I have a brief idea about the fee structure there. The marks that you scored in your sessional or semester examinations of your respective course would not have any impact on the fees chargeable by the institute. The fee depends on the quota through which you get admission to the institution.

If you belong to the general category and are domicile of India, then the fee which will be charged from you would be the same just like everyone else from your category for a specific course. I believe that a similar structure is followed throughout all the institutions that come under NLU.

Cracking CLAT and converting NALSAR is different but both are interrelated. First, let us discuss CLAT. The new pattern of the exam comprises five specified areas:

• English Language
• Logical Reasoning
• Quantitative Techniques
• Legal Reasoning
• Current Affairs including General Knowledge

It is a two-hour test focused on the comprehension skills, reasoning skills and, abilities of candidates.

You can either opt for a coaching institute or choose to prepare all by yourself but you will have to keep practicing dedicatedly. Buy a good CLAT preparation book, appear for as many mock tests as you can. Always solve sample papers with a timer, this will give you an essence of the d-day.

Only good scores can help you secure a seat at NALSAR; there is no magic spell. The competition is very high here. Just like the top rankers of IIT JEE Advanced make it to the top-ranked IITs, the same is the case with NALSAR. 

The higher the score, the higher is the chances of converting NALSAR.

Yes, you can pursue B.A., LL.B after your graduation. You can even pursue the degree without your BBA degree.

You can complete your BBA then pursue the B.A., LL.B. Both courses take about eight years to complete. You can also let go of BBA and complete your B.A., LL.B degree which takes about five years to complete. You can also complete your BBA through distance education and pursue B.A., LL.B through regular learning.

You can also decide to complete BBA and get into a three-year LL.B program in any university in the country that provides the course.

Since we are discussing NALSAR University of Law, which is one of the top institutes, it can’t be said with certainty that you will get in with a score of 110-120. 

According to the public record, the number of domestic seats is around 22. So, you can have a chance to get admission, if students who score above you are from the non-domicile category. 

You can definitely secure a seat, provided your score and category. But because the competition is somewhat the same for everyone, you can’t be certain about getting admission. If your score is near the highest, you can be hopeful.
