BENGALURU: After several years of controversy, the National Law School of India University (NLSIU) has announced 25% horizontal compartmentalised reservation for Karnataka students for its BA LLB (Hons) programme and LLM programme from 2021-22.
The university will increase intake, introduce a three-year LLB course and 30% horizontal reservation for women in the years to come. The horizontal reservation of 30% for women will be implemented in a phased manner over the next four years. After trying to resist the government’s interference and court battles, NLSIU announced the introduction of the domicile quota. Candidates who have studied for not less than 10 years in a recognized educational institution in Karnataka will be considered as Karnataka students. Candidates who wish to avail the reservation must update their online CLAT-2021 application by selecting the ‘Karnataka students’ option against NLSIU, Bengaluru, in the reservations tab.
Students must keep their certificate issued by their school ready to be submitted at the time of counselling/admission, said a notification.
The total intake is 120 for the LLB programme. According to the new seat matrix, in the 15% reservation for SCs, 13 are all-India students and 5 Karnataka students.
In the 7.5% quota for STs, 7 are for all-India students and 2 Karnataka students. In the general category, 70 are for all-India students and 23 Karnataka students. With this, 30 seats are reserved for Karnataka students. Six seats comprising 5% of the total intake shall be given horizontally for persons with disabilities. In LLM, 2 of the eight seats under SC quota, 1 of the four under ST category and 10 of the 38 in general category are for Karnataka students.
