CLAT 2025 Cut Offs for Popular National Law Universities

CLAT 2025 Cut Offs for Popular National Law Universities

Sukriti SahooUpdated on 25 Apr 2025, 03:43 PM IST

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.

Hello aspirant,

With 64.5 marks in CLAT 2026 and EWS+UP domicile, getting a top NLU may be difficult because EWS cutoffs are usually high. However, you may still have chances in the newer or mid-tier NLUs, depending on this year's overall scoring trend. NLUs like NLU Tripura, NLU Shimla or NLU Jabalpur sometimes open seats for EWS candidates at lower scores. It's best to wait for the official ranks and counselling lists, as seats shift during later rounds.

Hello aspirant,

Getting 43 in CLAT can feel disappointing, but it doesn't define your ability. You still have AILET, and many students improve sharply in their second attempt. For AILET, focus more on English, logical reasoning and GK. In static GK, study important books, monuments, national parks, constitutional facts and major awards. For current affairs, revise the last 6-8 months covering national events, government schemes, appointments, sports and major international news. Make short notes and revise daily. With a clear plan and claim mind, you can perform much better in AILET.

Thank you. Hope this information helps you.

Hello

The best way to cover the important current affairs is to read the newspaper daily. Then try to analyse the newspaper and remember the trending topics. Practice the previous year's question paper and understand the pattern of the question. Summarise all current affairs topics and understand them in brief. If you want more information about current affairs, then you will read the article How to Prepare for CLAT Current Affairs 2026 .

Thank you.
