Ranked #28 amongst Institutions in India by NIRF | Ranked #1 in India for Academic Reputation by QS Rankings | 16.6 LPA Highest CTC | Last Date to Apply: 15th July
The CLAT 2025 counselling has been postponed due to a two-bench order directing the Consortium of NLUs to revise the CLAT results. Initially, the court ordered revision of answer key for two questions. However, currently the Delhi HC is hearing a consolidated list of cases against CLAT 2025 result. As the CLAT 2025 result hearing proceeds, students are still wondering what NLUs they might get in a score of 70-80 marks in CLAT exam. In this article, we dive deep into previous years CLAT cutoff and understand what are the available NLUs in the CLAT 2025 scores ranging between 70-80 marks.
A score of 70-80 cannot be termed as a really good score in CLAT 2025 exam. However, this does not mean that candidates do not have any chances of admissions in this score. Candidates from general category have limited chances of admissions in NLUs with this score. Candidates belonging to the OBC, SC and ST categories have slightly higher chances of admission in this score. It also depends a lot what preferences candidates have entered at the time of CLAT 2025 registration. Also, state domicile plays an important role in a candidate's admission in their home state NLU.
One important thing candidates must understand is that during the CLAT 2025 counselling, they will be given admission on the basis of their ranks not scores. Candidates must first understand what rank their marks will translate into. The rank of the candidate is also given on their CLAT 2025 scorecard. The table below denotes the CLAT 2025 marks vs rank analysis.

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.
