Hi, i am dixita. I want to know that can any SC/ST caste student get admission in any law college by securing 35% in graduation. Please help me.

Let me tell you that minimum percentage required to join Law after graduation is 50% in case of general candidates and relaxation of 5% is given to SC/ST students.
As your percentage is below eligibility criteria hence you are not eligible.

Most of the law entrance will ask for at least 50% marks. In case of CLAT it is 45% marks for general category. Even after relaxation it stands at 40% for reserved category.

Therefore, it will be difficult to get admission with percentage because you don't fulfill the percentage criteria.

No, there are no chance of admission in Law colleges after securing 35% marks in graduation.
Candidate must have secured more than 50% in graduation in order to apply for admission in graduation course. 5% relaxation is there for SC/ST candidates.
But candidate can't get admission after securing 35% marks in graduation.
