What Is the NFSU Merit List?

This section explains what the NFSU merit list actually represents and why it matters for admission.

The NFSU merit list is an official ranking of candidates who applied for law and other programmes at the National Forensic Sciences University, prepared on the basis of their entrance exam scores and category-wise reservation norms. For law programmes such as BBA LLB and B.Sc LLB, the merit list is based on CLAT (Common Law Admission Test) scores, since NFSU is not part of the centralized CLAT counselling conducted by the Consortium of NLUs and instead runs its own separate admission and counselling process.

The list is published in PDF format on the official portal and typically includes:

• Application ID / Roll number
• Candidate's merit rank
• Category (General/OBC/SC/ST/EWS, etc.)
• Remarks (such as "Shortlisted for counselling")

Eligibility and Selection Process for NFSU BBA LLB Admission

This section explains how candidates become eligible for the BBA LLB merit list and how selection works.

Admission to the BBA LL.B. (Hons.) programme at NFSU is based on the candidate's score in the CLAT UG exam, conducted annually in December by the Consortium of NLUs. Important points about the process:

• There is no upper age limit for BBA LLB admission at NFSU.
• Since NFSU does not participate in centralized CLAT counselling, candidates must register separately on the NFSU CSAS portal (nfsuadm.samarth.edu.in).
• For the 2026-27 academic year, the application window was open from 9 April to 10 June 2026.
• The application fee for the BBA LLB programme is ₹2,000, payable online.
• NFSU prepares its own merit list using CLAT scores and releases it on its admission portal.

Because NFSU runs an independent merit list, students with CLAT ranks that may not secure a seat in NLUs (commonly cited in the range of roughly 8,000 to 25,000 in the General category, based on past admission trends) often find NFSU's BBA LLB programme a viable alternative. The exact cutoff rank varies each year depending on the number of applicants and seats available.

What Happens After the Merit List Is Released?

This section outlines the steps candidates need to take once their name appears on the merit list.

Once a candidate's name appears in the provisional merit list:

• They are shortlisted for document verification and counselling.
• Candidates must report with original documents as specified by NFSU for verification.
• After successful verification, candidates need to confirm their admission by paying the semester fee within the stipulated deadline.
• If the first provisional list does not result in a filled seat, NFSU may release subsequent provisional or revised merit lists, as seen in previous years (Second and Third Provisional Lists were issued for various programmes in earlier admission cycles).

NFSU Merit List 2026 - Important Points to Remember

This section lists key reminders for candidates tracking their admission status.

• The merit list is provisional, meaning it is subject to revision based on document verification outcomes.
• Candidates should keep checking the official NFSU merit list page regularly, as updated or revised lists may be published.
• Scholarships at NFSU, where applicable, are also awarded based on CLAT scores at the time of admission, and continuation depends on maintaining academic performance.
• All official communication and lists are released only through nfsu.ac.in; candidates should avoid relying on unofficial sources for rank or cutoff information.
