The CLAT 2025 cut-off for popular National Law Universities (NLUs) becomes very competitive due to the higher number of student preferences for these universities. On April 23, the Delhi High Court directed the Consortium of NLUs to publish the CLAT 2025 revised result within four weeks for CLAT 2025 UG due to the errors in the answer key. This change could affect the candidates’ scores in CLAT 2025 and their chances of getting into top NLUs. However, the CLAT 2025 revised result will not impact the CLAT 2025 cutoff. The general category candidates typically need around 95 to 100 marks in CLAT 2025 to secure a spot in the leading NLUs. The expected CLAT cutoff 2025 will differ significantly across categories for the popular NLUs. Read on to know the CLAT 2025 expected cutoffs for the popular National Law Universities.
Candidates who clear the CLAT cut-off will be able to get admission into 5-year LLB and LLM programmes of participating universities. Programmes such as BA LLB, BBA LLB, BCom LLB, BSW LLB, BSc LLB, and LLM are offered at the top National Law Schools in India.
