The admission process began after the results of CLAT(common law admission test) were out. Usually the top nlu's acquire students till 2000 rank. As I scored 4000, so my next target was Indraprastha university and I registered for it. The admissions were done on the basis of clat rank, 3 rounds of counselling after filling the form and the list of desired colleges. The application form was available on its official site, ipu.ac.in and application fee varied at various levels.

The only aspect that I did not like was the delay that the university caused in release of the allotment list.
