Keep CNLU High in Your Preference List<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>During CLAT counselling, the preference list plays a decisive role. If you want a strong chance at CNLU, keep both BA LLB and BBA LLB within your top 5\u20137 choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Ensure Correct Bihar Category Certificates<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>CNLU follows the Bihar Reservation Act, meaning EBC\/BC\/SC category benefits apply only with Bihar-issued certificates. Incorrect documentation may push you into the General category, raising your required rank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Choose Between BA LLB and BBA LLB Strategically<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>BA LLB typically closes earlier than BBA LLB. If your rank is borderline, choosing BBA LLB increases your chances in Round 2 or 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Track Round-wise Movement Carefully<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Do not withdraw early. Many candidates see improved chances in Round 3, especially for categories like EBC, BC, SC, and EWS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Keep Required Documents Ready<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Seat rejection happens due to missing certificates. Keep everything\u2014ID, mark sheets, caste certificates, domicile certificates\u2014updated and ready at the time of verification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6. Stay Flexible With Upgrades<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Always choose \u201cupgrade\u201d unless you are 100% sure. This improves your chance of moving into CNLU even after being allotted a different NLU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-luminous-vivid-amber-background-color has-background\"><strong>Law Colleges Information Related to CLAT:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawpreptutorial.com\/blog\/national-law-universities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>List of NLUs in India<\/strong><\/a><\/td><td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawpreptutorial.com\/blog\/national-law-universities\/nlu-delhi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NLU Delhi<\/a><\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawpreptutorial.com\/blog\/national-law-universities\/nlu-jodhpur\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NLU Jodhpur<\/a><\/strong><\/td><td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawpreptutorial.com\/blog\/national-law-universities\/nlsiu-bangalore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NLSIU Bangalore<\/a><\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawpreptutorial.com\/blog\/national-law-universities\/iiuler-goa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IIULER Goa<\/a><\/strong><\/td><td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawpreptutorial.com\/blog\/national-law-universities\/nalsar-hyderabad\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NALSAR Hyderabad<\/a><\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawpreptutorial.com\/blog\/gujarat-national-law-university-gnlu-gandhinagar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GNLU Gujarat<\/a><\/strong><\/td><td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawpreptutorial.com\/blog\/nlu-lucknow\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">RMNLU Lucknow<\/a><\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawpreptutorial.com\/blog\/nlu-ranchi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NLU Ranchi<\/a><\/strong><\/td><td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawpreptutorial.com\/blog\/mnlu-nagpur\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MNLU Nagpur<\/a><\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawpreptutorial.com\/blog\/national-law-universities\/nlu-prayagraj\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">RPNLUP Prayagraj<\/a><\/strong><\/td><td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawpreptutorial.com\/blog\/national-law-universities\/nujs-kolkata\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NUJS Kolkata<\/a><\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawpreptutorial.com\/blog\/nlu-shimla\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NLU Shimla<\/a><\/strong><\/td><td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawpreptutorial.com\/blog\/national-law-universities\/nliu-bhopal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NLIU Bhopal<\/a><\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawpreptutorial.com\/blog\/national-law-universities\/top-5-nlus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Top 5 NLUs in India<\/strong><\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawpreptutorial.com\/blog\/clat-colleges\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>CLAT Colleges in India<\/strong><\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawpreptutorial.com\/blog\/clat-colleges\/delhi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>CLAT Colleges in Delhi<\/strong><\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawpreptutorial.com\/blog\/clat-colleges\/rajasthan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>CLAT Colleges in Rajasthan<\/strong><\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawpreptutorial.com\/blog\/clat-colleges\/mumbai\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CLAT Colleges in Mumbai<\/a><\/strong><\/td><td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawpreptutorial.com\/blog\/difference-between-law-school-and-college\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Law School vs Law College<\/a><\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-54d42e2c566f662d2731e05a0e50714f\"><strong>FAQs About CNLU Patna Cut-off<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1764579102074\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is the cut-off for CNLU Patna?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">CNLU cut-offs vary each year.
