NLU comparison

NALSAR vs NLU Delhi

NALSAR University of Law and National Law University, Delhi, 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

  • In NIRF 2025 (Law), NALSAR is ranked 3 and NLU Delhi 2.

  • NLU Delhi admits through AILET, NLU Delhi’s own test; NALSAR admits through CLAT. You need both tests to apply to both.
