    Sukriti SahooUpdated on 17 Jan 2025, 11:34 AM IST

    A law student securing 70 marks in CLAT 2025 out of 120 with reservation may get a seat in NLU, but it is difficult to secure an NLU seat for general category candidates. There are various NLU and non-NLU colleges in which candidates can aim to gain admission with 70 marks in CLAT. Candidates from the general category can opt for an alternative college that accepts the CLAT 2025 score for admission other than NLU. The SC and ST candidates will have wider options as they prefer to go to NLUs or other law colleges with 70 marks in CLAT 2025.

    Is 70 marks a good score in CLAT 2025?

    The CLAT mark of 70 is a good score for reserved category candidates but may not be a good score in CLAT 2025 for candidates from the general category. A score of 70 marks in CLAT translates to a percentage of around 58.33%. This score is good for the reserved category candidates to secure a seat in most of the top NLUs but not for the general category candidates. Meanwhile, candidates from general, OBC and EWS categories may find it difficult to get a seat for admission to the top NLUs with 70 marks in CLAT.
