CLAT Exam Analysis - Easiest question paper in last four years?

The initial reactions and paper overview say this CLAT has been easier than in previous years. This is likely to affect the overall cut-offs and NLU admissions.

The above data has been taken from the analysis of CLAT merit lists of the previous four-five years. Candidates can calculate their marks and compare it with the above table to get an idea of the rank they are likely to get.


CLAT 2025 Exam Difficulty: Lenghty and Moderate Expected

Since the change of the CLAT test pattern in 2019, the CLAT question paper has been very lengthy, often favouring the students who have a good command over English language. The 2021 and 2022 CLAT question papers were the lengthiest test papers and students reported that completing the exam in two hours was extremely difficult.

The CLAT 2024 question paper had slightly easier language compared to previous tests. However, it was still lengthy and moderately difficult. Only around 1100 students could score in the range of 90-100 marks. This CLAT marks vs rank trend is likely to remain the same this year unless there is some drastic change in the CLAT exam difficulty level.


NALSAR Hyderabad Cut-Offs: The second most preferred NLU in CLAT 2025

If one looks at the trends in CLAT cutoffs of last many years, one thing which has been consistent is that student preference for top NLUs. NLSIU Bangalore remains the top most NLU, but those who fail to secure a seat in this university look for NALSAR Hyderabad. Established in 1998, the university is an excellent place to study BA LLB. There is of course some domicile reservation for Telangana students, but all India category candidates securing rank within 250 have managed to secure a seat in NALSAR.

The marks vs rank analysis shows there is not much difference between NLSIU and NALSAR Hyderabad cut offs. One gets NLSIU at 98-100 marks, while others would get NALSAR at 97-99 marks in CLAT 2025. Here are some useful articles for students looking to get a seat at NALSAR Hyderabad.


How many marks are required for NLSIU Bangalore?

The previous trends suggest, that if you score over 98, your chances of getting a BA LLB seat in NLSIU Bangalore are really good. However, getting a score in the range of 98-100 has been very difficult as seen in previous years. Check the article below for a detailed insight into NLSIU Bangalore cutoffs - CLAT 2025 NLSIU Bangalore BA LLB & LLM Cut Offs


CLAT 2025 Exam Analysis: What is Asked?

The UG-CLAT 2025 question paper has five sections, each containing comprehension-based questions, 120 in number. CLAT syllabus subjects are mentioned below.

  • English Language

  • Current Affairs, including General Knowledge

  • Legal Reasoning

  • Logical Reasoning

  • Quantitative Techniques


CLAT exam cutoffs: Score 75+ if you are from general category with no reservation

The exam analysis of previous years suggests that CLAT cutoff marks remain in the range of 72-75 and admission to NLUs closes at this level for general category candidates.

So, if you are a general category candidate fighting in the India category, try to score 75+ in the CLAT exam.

Hello aspirant,

On October 22, 2024, the CLAT Registration Process 2025 was closed by the Consortium of NLUs. On October 25, the CLAT Application Correction Window 2025 concluded. On July 7, 2024, the Consortium published the CLAT Notification 2025. All of the crucial information about the CLAT Exam was included in the announcement. Candidates will only receive admit cards to take the CLAT exam in 2025 if they complete the application and pay the cost.

To know more information, you can visit our website through following link:

Thank you

There are some around 3000 seats in all the NLUs. The last rank goes upto 9000 for a seat in an NLU even in tier 3 nlus. Considering your rank and your category, it will not be possible for you to get in any of the NLU.

Last year The opening and closing ranks for the general category for the B.A. LL.B. (Hons.) course were 656–1390, and for the OBC category they were 2068–2940. The closing ranks for the first and last rounds of the B.A. LL.B. (Hons.) course were 1233 and 1390, respectively.

BUT keep checking websites of each university on regular intervals. What generally happens is, students take admission and then they leave the university. This happens around a month after the admission. In such a case University calls up for individual applications. It is not necessary that the University will call up for next best rank to fill up the seat. So if you get such notification, apply right away.



Secondly, you don't need to be disheartened. You can join any private college for now or keep preparing for CLAT 2026. Since age is not the bar now, you can give CLAT any number of times.


All the best :)

GC-KA in the CLAT merit list refers to General Category - Karnataka. This classification indicates that the candidate belongs to the General Category and holds domicile from Karnataka. Many law universities have a state domicile reservation, meaning they reserve a certain percentage of seats for candidates who are residents of that state. If you fall under GC-KA, you are eligible to apply for seats under this quota. To claim the Karnataka domicile quota, it’s crucial to provide proper documentation during the application process. These documents typically include a domicile certificate, proof of residence, or any other government-issued document verifying your Karnataka residency. If your name appears under GC-KA, you must ensure you meet all requirements and deadlines for document verification to secure admission. This classification is essential as it impacts the seat allotment process for Karnataka candidates in NLU seats.

Hi Jaya,

Based on your OBC category rank of 4,700 in CLAT and your domicile in Kerala, securing admission to the National University of Advanced Legal Studies (NUALS) in Kochi may be challenging.

Historically, NUALS has had competitive cutoffs, especially for the BA LLB (Hons) program.

For instance, in the 2023 admissions cycle, the closing ranks for the BA LLB (Hons) program were as follows:

  • General (All India): 1,461
  • General (Home State): 1,769
  • OBC (Home State): 16,177

Although, admission trends vary each year due to factors like seat availability, applicant pool, and reservation policies. Hence, you can look for other potential options like -

1. National Law University, Assam (NLUJAA)

2. Hidayatullah National Law University, Raipur (HNLU)

3. Damodaram Sanjivayya National Law University, Visakhapatnam (DSNLU)

4. Tamil Nadu National Law University, Tiruchirappalli (TNNLU)

5. Government Law College, Ernakulam

Read the passage below and answer the following question.
Cheating is considered a criminal offence under the Indian Penal Code. It is done to gain profit or advantage from another person by using some deceitful means. The person who deceives another knows for the fact that it would place the other person in an unfair situation. Cheating as an offence can be made punishable under Section 420 of the IPC. Scope of Section 415 Cheating is defined under Section 415 of the Indian Penal Code as whoever fraudulently or dishonestly deceives a person to induce that person to deliver a property to any person or to consent to retain any property. If a person intentionally induces a person to do or omit to do any act which he would not have done if he was not deceived to do so and the act has caused harm to that person in body, mind, reputation, or property, then the person who fraudulently, dishonestly or intentionally induced the other person is said to cheat. Any dishonest concealment of facts that can deceive a person to do an act that he would not have done otherwise is also cheating within the meaning of this section. Essential Ingredients of Cheating requires · deception of any person. Fraudulently or dishonestly inducing that person to deliver any property to any person or to consent that any person shall retain any property; or · intentionally inducing a person to do or omit to do anything which he would not do or omit if he were not so deceived, and the act or omission causes or is likely to cause damage or harm to that person in body, mind, reputation or property.

Read the passage carefully and answer the question

The Contract should be performed by the promisor himself. However, in certain cases, it can also be performed by his agents or legal representatives. It all depends upon the intention of the parties. Normally a contract can be performed by the following persons. 

  1. Promisor himself: If from the nature of the contract it appears that it was the intention of the parties that the promise should be performed by the promisor himself, such promise must be performed by the promisor. This usually applies to contracts involving personal skill, task, or artwork. 
  2. Promisor or his Agent: Where the contract does not involve the personal skill of the promisor, the contract could be performed by the promisor himself or by any competent person employed by him for the purpose, 
  3. Legal Representatives: The contracts which do not involve any personal skill or taste, may be performed by his legal representative after the death of the promisor.
  4. Third Person: In some cases, a contract may be performed by a third person provided the promisee accepts the arrangement. According to Section 41 of the Indian Contract Act, once the promisee accepts the performance from a third person, he cannot compel the promisor to perform the contract again. 
  5. Performance of Joint Promises: According to section 42 of the Indian Contract Act, when two or more persons have made a joint promise, the joint promisors must fulfill the promise jointly during their lifetime. And if any one of them dies, then his legal representatives and survivors must jointly fulfill the promise. 

Section 43 of the Indian Contract Act further provides that unless a contrary intention appears from the contract, each joint promisor may compel every other joint promisor to contribute equally to the performance of the promise. If any joint promisor makes a default in such contribution, the remaining joint promisors must bear the loss arising from such default in equal shares.

  1. Promisor himself: If from the nature of the contract it appears that it was the intention of the parties that the promise should be performed by the promisor himself, such promise must be performed by the promisor. This usually applies to contracts involving personal skill, task, or artwork. 
  2. Promisor or his Agent: Where the contract does not involve the personal skill of the promisor, the contract could be performed by the promisor himself or by any competent person employed by him for the purpose, 
  3. Legal Representatives: The contracts which do not involve any personal skill or taste, may be performed by his legal representative after the death of the promisor.
  4. Third Person: In some cases, a contract may be performed by a third person provided the promisee accepts the arrangement. According to Section 41 of the Indian Contract Act, once the promisee accepts the performance from a third person, he cannot compel the promisor to perform the contract again. 
  5. Performance of Joint Promises: According to section 42 of the Indian Contract Act, when two or more persons have made a joint promise, the joint promisors must fulfill the promise jointly during their lifetime. And if any one of them dies, then his legal representatives and survivors must jointly fulfill the promise. 

Section 43 of the Indian Contract Act further provides that unless a contrary intention appears from the contract, each joint promisor may compel every other joint promisor to contribute equally to the performance of the promise. If any joint promisor makes a default in such contribution, the remaining joint promisors must bear the loss arising from such default in equal shares.

Natural justice is another name for common sense justice rules of natural justice are not in codified form these principles are embedded or ingrained or inbuilt in the conscience of human beings. It supplies the omission made in codified law and helps in the administration of justice. Natural justice is not only confined to ‘fairness’ it will take many shades and colours based on the context. Thus natural justice apart from ‘fairness’ also implies reasonableness, equity and equality. They are neither cast in a rigid mould nor can they be put in a legal straitjacket. These principles written by nature in the heart of mankind, they are immutable, inviolable, and inalienable.

It is true that the concept of natural justice is not very clear and, therefore, it is not possible to define it; yet the principles of natural justice are accepted and enforced. In the case of Ridge V. Baldwin Court observed that “in modern times have sometimes been expressed to the effect that natural justice is as vague as to be practically meaningless. But I would regard these as tainted by the perennial fallacy that because something cannot be cut and dried or nicely weighed or measured therefore it does not exist”. The term natural justice signifies fundamental rules of judicial procedure and fair play in action. According to Lord Widgery “the principles of natural justice were those fundamental rules; the breach will prevent justice from being seen to be done”. Earliest expression of ‘natural justice’ could be found in the philosophical expression of Roman Jurist (jus natural) and signified rules and principles for the conduct of man which were independent of enacted law or customs and could be discovered by the rational intelligence of man and would grow out of and conform to his nature.

The rule against bias that surfaced in 1610 in Dr Bonham's Casewhere Chief Justice Coke went so far as to say that the Court could declare an Act of Parliament void if it made a man as judge in his own cause, or otherwise ‘against common right and reason’. This was one of his grounds for disallowing the claim of the College of Physicians to fine and imprison Doctor Bonham, a Doctor of Physics of Cambridge University, for practising in the city of London without the licence of College of Physicians. The statute under which the College acted provided that fines should go half to the King half to the College so that the College had a financial interest in its own judgement and was judged in its own cause.

In the case of M/S Halonex Limited, 59-A Noida vs State of U.P., it was held that “In reply to the aforesaid submission, learned counsel for opposite party no.2 submitted that the case of the applicants that no amount is due from their side to the complainant is a matter of defence which cannot be considered at this stage. It has been submitted that the term 'entrustment' as used in Section 405 IPC has been given a wider interpretation. It has been submitted that the goods returned by the complainant to the Company for replacement or for reimbursement would be deemed to have been entrusted to the Company and as the applicants 2 & 3 were handling its affair they become responsible. To buttress the said submission, the learned counsel for the complainant drew the attention of the Court to a decision of the Apex Court in the case of Ram Narayan Popli Vs. Central Bureau of Investigation: (2003) 3 SCC 641, wherein it was observed that: "the term "entrustment" is not necessarily a term of law. It may have different implications in different contexts. In its most general signification all it imports is the handing over possession for some purpose which may not imply the conferring of any proprietary right at all." Attention was also drawn to an observation made in the judgment of the aforesaid case, where it was observed that: "to establish the charge of criminal breach of trust, the prosecution is not obliged to prove the precise mode of conversion, misappropriation or misapplication by the accused of the property entrusted to him or over which he has dominion. The principal ingredient of the offence being dishonest misappropriation or conversion which may not ordinarily be a matter of direct proof, entrustment of property and failure in breach of an obligation to account for the property entrusted if proved, may, in the light of other circumstances, justifiably lead to an inference of dishonest misappropriation or conversion”.
