NLU comparison

NLU Delhi vs WBNUJS

National Law University, Delhi and The West Bengal National University of Juridical Sciences, 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), NLU Delhi is ranked 2 and WBNUJS 4.

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