The Consortium of National Law Universities (NLUs) scheduled the release of the CLAT 2025 first merit list on December 26, 2024. Due to the court petitions filed against the CLAT 2025 answer key, the release date of CLAT first merit list 2025 is delayed. The CLAT 2025 result petition will be heard in the Supreme Court on January 15, 2025. The first CLAT merit list 2025 will be released by the NLU Consortium as soon as the Supreme Court gives its judgment on the ongoing case. However, in case of revision of CLAT merit list, the CLAT results may be announced with a delay, by the end of the month. This will be followed by the counselling registration and release of merit list.
Students are eagerly waiting for the CLAT merit list and all eyes are on the final verdict whether SC accepts the petitioner’s objections or sides with the consortium.
As per the recent scenario, candidates who appeared for the Common Law Admission Test can expect the first CLAT merit list date to be released on the last week of January 2025. The Consortium of NLUs will announce a fresh schedule for the CLAT counselling process soon after receiving an expected relief from the Supreme Court.

There are a total of five rounds of CLAT 2025 counselling and the consortium will release the CLAT merit list 2025 for each round of counselling. Once the first CLAT 2025 merit is published, shortlisted candidates will have to pay the confirmation fee for a seat allotment at CLAT participating colleges 2025. Candidates included in the first merit list of CLAT 2025 will be allotted seats based on their CLAT scores, NLU preferences, category and CLAT seat matrix 2025.
With an All India SC category rank of 1561 in CLAT, you have a strong chance of getting admission into several National Law Universities through the counselling rounds. Based on past year trends, this rank can fetch you a seat in NLUs like NLIU Bhopal, HNLU Raipur, RGNUL Patiala, and possibly even higher-ranked ones like WBNUJS Kolkata or NLU Jodhpur depending on how cutoffs move in the later rounds.
SC category cutoffs for top NLUs tend to vary each year, but many of them have admitted students with SC ranks between 1500 and 3000, especially in rounds 2 and 3. Your chances increase further if you list a wide range of NLUs in your preference order during counselling. Also, make sure to complete all required counselling steps, document verification, and preference locking on time to avoid missing out.
With your rank, you're well-positioned to get a seat—just stay active in the admission process and keep checking updates from the CLAT consortium.
Dear student,
For Delhi University’s BA LLB program through CLAT, EWS category admissions last year (2024) typically closed around a rank of 1100 to 1200. This means if you scored around 90–95 marks in CLAT, you had a good chance of getting in. The exact cut-off can change slightly each year depending on competition and seat availability, but staying within the top 1200 is generally safe for EWS candidates.
The cutoff for DU BA LLB for CLAT ews has not been released yet.You can check the cutoff in this website after notification of release of cutoff - https://clat2024.consortiumofnlus.ac.in/clat-2024/
Yes, you can get direct admission into BBA LLB at VIPS (Vivekananda Institute of Professional Studies) with 82 percent in your Class 12 exams, but not without appearing in CLAT or IPU CET.
VIPS is affiliated with Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU), and admissions to BBA LLB are done strictly through entrance exams. The primary mode of admission is through CLAT UG, as GGSIPU has adopted CLAT scores for law programs in recent years. Previously, the IPU CET was used for law admissions, but that has been phased out for integrated law courses like BBA LLB.
So, even with a good Class 12 score, you cannot get admission into VIPS for BBA LLB without a valid CLAT score. The university does not allow direct management quota admissions outside the entrance process for its law programs. You may need to wait for the next CLAT attempt or consider private universities that allow direct admission based on 12th marks.
All the best!
Hi Akash,
It is good to see institutions like NMIMS have selected you for master of law based on your CLAT PG scores. If we compare the three then to be very clear:
For the best academic value and recognition choose NMIMS, or the Nirma University is also good. The DNLU is newer and can be considered as well but if we choose any one, then it is NMIMS.
ALL THE BEST !
