The CLAT 2025 Revised Results were officially released on May 17, 2025. Students aspiring for UG law programs under the NRI and NRI-sponsored category must explore all the NLUs offering admission under this category and register for the respective NLUs at the earliest to avoid any last-minute hassle.

Out of the 25 National Law Universities (NLUs) that accept CLAT scores, 13 NLUs also offer seats under the NRI/NRI-Sponsored category. These seats are available to:

• Students who fall under the NRI category.
• Students whose NRI relatives will sponsor their studies (course fees under this category are usually 4-5 times higher than regular fees).

However, it is important to note:

• Only those students who opted for this category while filling out the CLAT 2025 application are eligible.
• The Consortium of NLUs is not responsible for admissions under this category. Students must apply individually to the respective NLUs.
• Concerned students have already been awarded the NAI & NRI-Sponsored category ranking. The admission will be based on these rankings only.
