CLAT 2025 Results Now in Supreme Court

How will the CLAT 2025 Court Case Affect the Result?

Despite the ongoing cases, the Delhi HC has allowed the Consortium of NLUs to proceed with the publication of the CLAT 2025 result as per the order passed by the single-judge bench of the HC on December 20. However, the consortium has decided to wait and kept everyone guessing about the result.

The five questions at the center of the controversy are Q no. 14, 37, 67, 68, and 100 from Set A. While the HC has accepted two objections raised by the candidate, namely on Q. 14 and 100 and ordered changes in the CLAT 2025 answer key, it has rejected the other three.

The tables below show how the CLAT 2025 score will be affected depending on the CLAT 2025 Supreme Court case outcome.

Will Revised Result Affect CLAT Cut-Off 2025?

The revised CLAT 2025 results are not expected to influence the CLAT 2025 cut-off in any way. A good score in CLAT 2025 for top NLUs is primarily determined by the difficulty level of the exam and the NLU preferences given by candidates. So, irrespective of the changes in the scores of candidates due to the court order, the CLAT cut-offs are expected to follow the trends observed last year. The expected CLAT cut-off marks for the top 10 NLUs are given below.

Questions related to CLAT

On Question asked by student community

Have a question related to CLAT ?

Hello,

Sorry, but with 59 marks in the CLAT, your chances of getting in top NLUs in the general category are very low, as the cutoffs are usually 90+ marks. But don't worry you have good chances in the tier-3 NLUs, espicely if you are belongs to SC/ST/OBC reserved categories.

I hope it will clear your query!!

Hello

You are scoring 35.75 in the CLAT exam as a female candidate, and both parents are in the Army, so you have a plus point for the Army quota, but getting admission in top NLUs is highly unlikely because the SC cutoffs for the top NLUs are often 60+ or even 80+ marks. But you have a chance to get admission in the lower NLUs colleges through the women's/ Armed Forces (Ward quota). You can find the NLU colleges' list that gives you admission at this score by reading the article CLAT Expected NLUs , which was published on our official website, careers360.

Thank you.

With 47.5 marks in CLAT 2026 under General category, chances of admission in top NLUs are very low. However, you may have a chance in lower-ranked or newer NLUs, depending on the cut-off, women reservation, and domicile rules. Final allotment depends on counselling rounds and seat availability.

Thankyou i hope this will resolve some doubt


With a CLAT 2026 score of around 59 marks, being a female candidate from the EWS category with Rajasthan domicile does give you some possibility, but it is important to keep expectations realistic.

NLU Jodhpur is one of the older and more preferred NLUs, so its general cutoff usually remains on the higher side. However, domicile reservation for Rajasthan candidates and the EWS category can slightly improve your chances, especially in later rounds of counselling such as the fourth or fifth list or spot rounds, if seats remain vacant. Female candidates may also benefit indirectly where category and domicile seats overlap.

That said, admission at this score is not guaranteed, and you should definitely keep backup options open. You may have comparatively better chances at newer or lower-ranked NLUs where EWS and domicile cutoffs are generally lower. Participating in all rounds of CLAT counselling is very important, as movement often happens due to withdrawals.

Along with NLU Jodhpur, you should also consider state law universities and reputed private law colleges as alternatives to avoid losing a year. Make sure your documents for EWS and domicile are valid and ready, as they are strictly verified during admission.

Overall, while the chances for NLU Jodhpur are limited at this score, they are not completely ruled out due to your category and domicile advantages. Stay patient during counselling and keep multiple options in hand.

All the best.

Hello

With 83 marks in CLAT 2026 under the MBC category, getting NLU Jodhpur is possible but not guaranteed.
Based on previous years’ trends, the cutoff usually falls around 82–85 marks.
If your rank lies within the cutoff range, your chances improve.
Admission often becomes more likely in the later counselling rounds.
Your category reservation and preference order will play an important role.

Hope it will help you!!!
