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.
CLAT 2025 marks | CLAT 2025 rank |
---|---|
98+ marks | 200 and above |
92+ marks | 500 and above |
90+ marks | 1000 and above |
88+ marks | 1500 and above |
86+ marks | 2000 and above |

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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.

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:
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
