DSNLU gives you peace even without people

Admission:

Firstly I chose this college as it is nearest to my home town. I did not get rejected by other colleges. I applied to this college and I got selected in the first list itself. In order to get the college, firstly you need to give CLAT exam and after qualifying the same and on releasing the list, basing upon the priority list you'll be placed in the colleges. When I gave the exam the cut off was between 72 to 78.

Even moon has some spotting

Admission:

12th pass anyone with 45 percentage marks are eligible and the entrance is clat and it happens to be in December and the results will be out in less than a month the collages are alloted the bases on ranks as we have to go for councelling

To get to the premier law Universities in the country, one has to give CLAT. So in the hope of getting into a National Law University I gave CLAT. After giving CLAT the results came out adn I was not very happy, my All India Rank was 2391. I did not get admission through a normal list which was released in the CLAT website. But then I waited for vacancies for specific colleges and I got into many other colleges such as - NUSRL Ranchi, MNLU Nagpur, DNLU Jabalpur etc and lastly DSNLU Visakhapatnam which interested me the most, so I took admission into this college.
