Apply700+ Campus placements at top national and global law firms, corporates, and judiciaries
Delhi University will soon start the BA LLB and BBA LLB admission process on its official website. The university will use CLAT 2025 scores for admission to these courses. However, it does not participate in the CLAT counselling. Instead, DU conducts its own counselling, shortlisting applicants based on their rank in the merit list.
Candidates who wish to study BA LLB or BBA LLB at DU should know the admission criteria along with the cut-offs. The DU LLB cut-offs for CLAT 2025 depend on various factors including, candidates’ CLAT rank and the university’s reservation policy.
In this article, we discuss how the CLAT cut-offs for Delhi University are going to be this year. And more importantly, if you should really choose DU over NLUs.
The Delhi University’s Faculty of Law does not release merit lists for its 5-year LLB programmes. However, an estimate of last two batches shows the DU LLB cutoffs have remained inconsistent.
In the first year after launching the courses, the DU LLB cut-offs were much higher than expected, closing around CLAT rank of 1000 for the general category. This was mainly because of the popularity of DU among students.
In 2024, CLAT DU LLB cut-offs slightly dropped for the general category. Admissions closed around CLAT rank 1100 - 1200. While it is difficult to predict the exact DU BA LLB cut-offs for CLAT 2025, a further decline is likely if students research their options well in advance.
One of the key factors affecting DU CLAT cut-offs in 2025 will be the number of applicants and their CLAT ranks. DU BA LLB cutoffs and DU BBA LLB cut offs for general category are expected to remain below 2000.
The DU LLB cut offs for CLAT 2025 for EWS, SC, ST and PWD categories are highly unpredictable. They depend on the total number of applications the university receives from these categories.
In previous years, students with CLAT rank of 1000 or below have opted for Delhi University’s BA LLB and BBA LLB courses. However, some experts will always recommend top NLUs over DU if the CLAT rank is below AIR 1000. Therefore, let’s examine if the university should be put up higher than national law universities for studying LLB.
The top NLUs such as NLSIU, NALSAR Hyderabad, WBNUJS Kolkata, NLU Jodhpur, GNLU Gujrat and NLU Bhopal close admissions at much lower cut-offs. General category CLAT rank above 600 may not help the students secure admission to any of these universities.
Choosing DU over these NLUs is generally not recommended during the counselling. Some students in the previous admission batches opted for DU over top NLUs such as NUJS Kolkata, NALSAR Hyderabad, and NLU Jodhpur. Experts and counsellors might find this difficult to comprehend. It also reflects a general lack of awareness among students regarding the law colleges in India.
At CLAT rank 1000-1200, the chances of securing admission to the tier 2 NLUs are very good. If we look at the previous years’ offs, the following universities have offered admission around a CLAT rank of 1200 —
NLU Odisha — CLAT AIR 1205
NLU Ranchi — CLAT AIR 1594
RMNLU Lucknow — CLAT AIR 764
MNLU Mumbai — CLAT AIR 590
NLU Kochi — CLAT AIR 1136
CNLU Patna — CLAT AIR 1358
The RMNLU Lucknow and MNLU Mumbai cut offs might close below 800. Both these universities are good. However, MNLU has very few seats for all India general category which makes the admissions more competitive. But the remaining NLUs mentioned above are closed around CLAT ranks of 1200-1500. The highest we saw last year was for CNLU Patna which closed admission at around all India CLAT rank of 1358 for general category.
Now this university is ranked 31st best law university in NIRF 2024. The median salary offered to the last two passing batches was approximately Rs. 10 LPA. The placement percentage is also equally good with 105 students getting placed from a graduating batch of 137 in 2022-23. So, it is a fairly reliable option and should be preferred over DU.
All these NLUs discussed above have well-established campuses. All these are ranked in the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) and the median salary in placements ranges from Rs. 6 to Rs. 14 LPA. Placing these NLUs above Delhi University is recommended given that the courses offered by the latter are fairly new and the university is yet to see its first batch completing the LLB and joining the legal profession.
The university will see its first batch graduating and joining the legal profession in 2028. This means the credibility of new courses in the legal profession remains untested. Despite DU having one of the best locational advantages, no one really knows how the internship and placement support is going to be.
A reference can be taken from DU's 3-year LLB programme which is one of the most sought-after among law aspirants. There are three main reasons for the popularity of this course. First, it is offered by one of the best multidisciplinary public universities in India, second, it is affordable, and third, many students studying at DU prepare for judicial services or civil services exams.
If we consider the 3-year LLB as a reference for understanding the career prospects of the 5-year LLB, it still lags far behind tier 1 and tier 2 NLUs. DU's 3-year LLB is not known for corporate placements and the packages offered are much lower than the top 15-18 law colleges in India. Law firms have preferred NLUs, and some top private law colleges in previous years.
Having a legacy of 100 years means, DU Faculty of Law has a strong alumni base which includes prominent names such as former Chief Justice of India, DY Chandrachud, former judge S K Kaul, former finance minister Arun Jaitley and many other prominent names in judiciary, bureaucracy and politics. While this kind of strong alumni base helps the university build its reputation, the current trends in the industry and its inclusion in academics, teaching quality, faculty strength and placement records add more material value.
DU vs NLUs: When should you accept DU 5-year LLB admission offer?
Some of the newer NLUs, such as MNLU Nagpur, HPNLU Shimla, and NLU Sonipat, can be placed in the same bracket as Delhi University. However, the students should also keep their options open for non-NLUs if they are getting admission offers from these universities.
NLUs such as NLU Tripura, NLU Prayagraj, MNLU Aurangabad and MPDNLU Jabalpur are the most recent ones. Delhi University can be preferred over these given the multiple advantages the university offers, including the locational advantages, strong alumni base, and a culture that helps the students experience all-India diversity within the campus.
Last but not least, if candidates receive admission offers from tier-3 NLUs through CLAT, they should consider applying to top non-NLU law colleges such as GLC Mumbai, SLS Pune, ILS Pune, Nirma University, and Panjab University.
With an All India SC category rank of 1561 in CLAT, you have a strong chance of getting admission into several National Law Universities through the counselling rounds. Based on past year trends, this rank can fetch you a seat in NLUs like NLIU Bhopal, HNLU Raipur, RGNUL Patiala, and possibly even higher-ranked ones like WBNUJS Kolkata or NLU Jodhpur depending on how cutoffs move in the later rounds.
SC category cutoffs for top NLUs tend to vary each year, but many of them have admitted students with SC ranks between 1500 and 3000, especially in rounds 2 and 3. Your chances increase further if you list a wide range of NLUs in your preference order during counselling. Also, make sure to complete all required counselling steps, document verification, and preference locking on time to avoid missing out.
With your rank, you're well-positioned to get a seat—just stay active in the admission process and keep checking updates from the CLAT consortium.
Dear student,
For Delhi University’s BA LLB program through CLAT, EWS category admissions last year (2024) typically closed around a rank of 1100 to 1200. This means if you scored around 90–95 marks in CLAT, you had a good chance of getting in. The exact cut-off can change slightly each year depending on competition and seat availability, but staying within the top 1200 is generally safe for EWS candidates.
The cutoff for DU BA LLB for CLAT ews has not been released yet.You can check the cutoff in this website after notification of release of cutoff - https://clat2024.consortiumofnlus.ac.in/clat-2024/
Yes, you can get direct admission into BBA LLB at VIPS (Vivekananda Institute of Professional Studies) with 82 percent in your Class 12 exams, but not without appearing in CLAT or IPU CET.
VIPS is affiliated with Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU), and admissions to BBA LLB are done strictly through entrance exams. The primary mode of admission is through CLAT UG, as GGSIPU has adopted CLAT scores for law programs in recent years. Previously, the IPU CET was used for law admissions, but that has been phased out for integrated law courses like BBA LLB.
So, even with a good Class 12 score, you cannot get admission into VIPS for BBA LLB without a valid CLAT score. The university does not allow direct management quota admissions outside the entrance process for its law programs. You may need to wait for the next CLAT attempt or consider private universities that allow direct admission based on 12th marks.
All the best!
Hi Akash,
It is good to see institutions like NMIMS have selected you for master of law based on your CLAT PG scores. If we compare the three then to be very clear:
For the best academic value and recognition choose NMIMS, or the Nirma University is also good. The DNLU is newer and can be considered as well but if we choose any one, then it is NMIMS.
ALL THE BEST !
