Amity University-Noida Law Admissions 2026
Among top 100 Universities Globally in the Times Higher Education (THE) Interdisciplinary Science Rankings 2026
In the CLAT UG 2025 hearings conducted between April 7 to 9, 2025, the Division Bench of the Delhi HC, consisting of Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela, reserved the judgement for a later date. As the candidates who appeared in the Common Law Admission Test await their fate, let's understand why the CLAT UG 2025 judgement is expected to come only after April 21.
CLAT 2026 cut-offs for the top NLU’s, as per previous year’s trends, are as follows.
Top NLUs | Expected cut-off marks | UG seats offered, excluding supernumerary NRI seats |
NLSIU Bengaluru | 100+ | 300 |
NALSAR Hyderabad | 100+ | 132 |
WBNUJS Kolkata | 98+ | 108 |
NLU Jodhpur | 95+ | 164 |
GNLU Gandhinagar | 95+ | 172 |
The resolution of the cases is important as the Consortium of NLUs will restart the CLAT 2025 counselling process after all the cases are settled.

Given below are the possible reasons why the CLAT 2025 UG hearing judgement is expected to come only after April 21.
The Delhi HC has not yet provided any updates on the CLAT 2025 hearing verdict on its official website.
The court is closed on April 18 due to a holiday on the occasion of Good Friday.
The HC will remain closed on April 19 and 20 due to the weekend.
The nature of the objections raised by the candidates is complicated, especially in the legal reasoning, as they are related to how a candidate interprets the questions. Delivering a quick judgement in the matter may be difficult.
The CLAT PG hearings for three cases are scheduled to be conducted on April 21, and the judgment for the UG and PG cases is expected to come together.
Date | Details |
April 18 | Holiday on account of Good Friday |
April 19 | Holiday on Saturday |
April 20 | Holiday on Sunday |
April 21 | CLAT PG 2025 Hearing |
On Question asked by student community
Hello,
Based on previous year CLAT cutoff trends , your chances for NLSIU Bangalore are very low .
NLSIU Bangalore has the highest cutoff among all NLUs . In recent years, the final closing rank for General category has been around AIR 100–120 only.
You have:
General category AIR: 658
Women category rank: 313
No Karnataka domicile
Women reservation in NLUs is horizontal , not a separate quota. This means it does not add extra seats . It only helps when candidates are very close to the general cutoff. At a rank of 313 , the gap is too large.
Even in spot or final rounds, NLSIU does not go beyond ~120 rank for General category candidates without domicile.
However, with these ranks, you have good chances in other top NLUs like NALSAR Hyderabad, WBNUJS Kolkata, NLU Jodhpur, GNLU Gandhinagar, and NLIU Bhopal, depending on counselling rounds.
You can also use our CLAT College Predictor Tool to predict which colleges you can get based on your score and rank.
Hope it helps !
Good afternoon,
With 86.7 marks and 1906 rank in CLAT 2026, you have a chance to get admission in mid-tier and the newest NLUs. The list of probable NLUs where you can get admission is mentioned below.
1. RMLNLU Lucknow
2. MNLU Mumbai
3. DSNLU Visakhapatnam
4. NLU Odisha
5. CNLU Patna
Thank you.
Hello,
Yes, a student with CLAT 2026 rank around 12,000 can register for counselling.
However, chances of getting a seat in the top NLUs (like NLSIU Bangalore, NALSAR Hyderabad, WBNUJS Kolkata, NLIU Bhopal) are very low, as their closing ranks are usually below 4,000 for the general category.
For mid-tier NLUs (like NLU Jodhpur, HNLU Raipur, GNLU Gandhinagar, RMLNLU Lucknow), closing ranks generally go up to 5,000–8,000, so it will still be difficult.
Lower-tier NLUs (like NLU Odisha, NUALS Kochi, NUSRL Ranchi, NLUJA Assam, DSNLU Vizag, TNNLU, HPNLU Shimla) sometimes admit candidates with ranks in the 10,000–30,000 range , especially in later counselling rounds or if there are vacancies. State quota reservations can also improve chances.

Hello,
A CLAT score of 81.25 places you in the moderate range, where admission to top NLUs becomes difficult, but opportunities may still remain in newer and mid-tier NLUs, depending on your category, seat movement, and round wise cutoffs.
