NLU comparison

GNLU vs MNLU Mumbai

Gujarat National Law University and Maharashtra National Law University, Mumbai, side by side. Every figure is read from an official document (a Consortium allotment list, the CLAT brochure, the university’s own notice or NIRF) and links to it. Where no document states a figure, the page says so rather than guess.

In short

What the documents show

  • NIRF 2025 (Law): GNLU, rank 5; MNLU Mumbai, took part, not ranked.

  • In CLAT 2026 the General all-India seats closed at rank 398 at GNLU and 501 at MNLU Mumbai. A lower closing rank means the seats went to higher scorers.

  • GNLU is the older of the two: established 2003, against 2014.
