CLAT Cut Off- Expected and Previous Year's NLU Cut Off

The Consortium of National Law Universities organizes CLAT annually, with different National Law Universities taking turns to conduct it. Following the CLAT 2024-25 results, the Consortium of NLUs will declare the cutoff for various NLUs. This comprehensive list is calculated by considering various factors and is determined based on the opening and closing ranks for NLUs. The cut-off is typically published a few days later.
Factors determining CLAT Cut-off
Admissions officers will examine the following factors when determining the cut-off:
  1. The number of candidates who will sit for the CLAT 2023 entrance test.
  2. How many of these applicants apply for admission?
  3. Previous Cut-Off trends.
  4. The number of seats available for the 5-year LLB programme
  5. Category (SC, ST, etc.)
  6. Cutoff patterns from previous years
If any of these factors change, the CLAT cut-off will also change. For example, the cutoff will rise if the number of applications grows. In contrast, as the number of applicants decreases, the cutoff will most certainly decrease as well.
