By the end of admissions, only 171 seats out of available 6,240 seats in MU-affiliated colleges were left vacant whereas the seat vacancy stood at 540 seats across the state.Total intake for three year LLB stood at 15,100 in the state this year and total applications received were 27,169.

In the last week of November, admissions to the three -year LLB course had to be extended by a week after the CET cell realised that almost 800 seats were left vacant in law institutes across Maharashtra, including 272 in MU-affiliated colleges, while over 12,800 students were still waiting for allotment of seats.

Of the many MU-affiliated law colleges, 14 law colleges still have vacant seats..
