Gujarat National Law University

Admission:

I applied to various colleges like NIRMA, Bhariya Vidyapeeth College, where I got confirmed admission, and NLSIU in the NRI quota but was not accepted. Then, I was selected in GNLU, and I chose it because it is a premier law university that provides one with sports, academics, internships, and all sorts of opportunities. The students also get an opportunity to intern under a professor of their liking, help them is writing their research paper, and are given monthly stipends. GNLU is a member of the CLAT consortium, where one can only get admission through getting a good eligible rank in CLAT or through sports or NRI quota. The overall admission experience is quite smooth. If the student gets selected, they will be provided an opportunity for counseling. After passing it, the student will be required to make a payment to reserve their seat, and after completion of the counseling, the seats are declared, and streams are alloted to the students as per their preference.

GNLU secures future

Admission:

I just gave Clat and with a rank of 453, the best college u could get was GNLU, NALSAR and NLSIU are for top 300 studnets. So, probably the best college I have been a part of. CLAT exams are held in December every year and the results are out in a month or so. As per the ranks colleges are alloted and that is how one gets admission here.

Gujarat National Law University is a premier law school. It boasts a huge campus with an amazing library. The admission process is through an entrance test called CLAT then followed by document verification and orientation if you get a good enough rank to join. I preferred this university because of its reputation and mooting culture. They highly encourage students to moot and increase their skills. You can look up their website. The food in Gujarat might not be for everyone but they have an amazing catering service that makes sures all tastes are satisfied from breakfast to dinner.

How does the admission process work after SNAP results are declared?

After the SNAP 2024 results are declared and you manage to get the desired score, you’ll be shortlisted for the Symbiosis MBA admission process. Based on your SNAP 2024 percentile, you’ll be called for Group Exercise and Personal Interaction (GE-PI).

Every SIU institute has its own admission process for each of its MBA specialisations. Additionally, each institution’s / program's cutoff is prepared on an independent basis. An applicant may be shortlisted for multiple institutions / programs based on their overall SNAP percentile. In this case, the candidate is expected to take part in the GE-PI for each institute / program separately.

After the GE-PI round is over, a merit list is displayed on the official websites of the respective institutes. A wait list is also released, in case there are any vacant seats.
