    #CLAT
    Sukriti SahooUpdated on 11 Jun 2025, 06:22 PM IST

    The Consortium of National Law Universities has published the second CLAT 2025 cut-off on June 4, 2025. With the release of the CLAT 2025 cut-off for the first and second rounds, candidates are eagerly awaiting the NLU cut-off 2025 for the lower-ranked National Law Universities (NLUs). While the premier NLUs like NLSIU Bengaluru, NALSAR Hyderabad, and WBNUJS Kolkata demand ranks within 100 to 200, the lowest-ranked NLUs offer a lifeline for candidates with moderate scores and ranks. In this article, let’s look at the CLAT 2025 cut-offs for lowest lowest-ranked NLUs where candidates can secure NLU admission despite having a low score in the revised CLAT 2025 result, which was declared on May 17, 2025.

    The CLAT 2025 cut-off is an important requirement that candidates need to clear to secure NLU admission. Through the Common Law Admission Test, candidates are admitted into the law programmes of 24 participating NLUs and 60+ affiliated colleges.

    CLAT 2025 Cut-offs for Lowest Ranked NLUs

    The lowest-ranked NLUs with cutoffs have been selected based on the NIRF Law Rankings 2024. The CLAT general cut-off for the lowest-ranked NLUs serves as a reliable measure for determining whether a cutoff is high or low. For other categories, CLAT cutoffs exhibit considerable variation across NLUs due to domicile-based reservation policies. However, for other categories, the CLAT cutoff indicates considerable variation across NLU, primarily due to the domicile reservation.

    I have scored 72% in 12th boards but have rt in my additional subject. I'm aiming for Clat 2027. so is it necessary for me to give that exam or I can skip it?

    Hi,
    Yes, you should appear for the compartment/improvement exam in the subject where you got RT (Reappear in Theory).

    Even though your 72% overall marks are enough for Common Law Admission Test 2027 eligibility, clearing the RT is still very important because your Class 12 marksheet should officially show “PASS.”
