Amity University-Noida Law Admissions 2026
Among top 100 Universities Globally in the Times Higher Education (THE) Interdisciplinary Science Rankings 2026
The Common Law Admission Test is the biggest law entrance in India. Like other entrance exams, CLAT 2026 also has a reservation criterion where seats are reserved for different categories both vertically and horizontally. When it comes to reservations, many NLUs reserve seats for female candidates through the CLAT exam. While the consortium has not specified any fixed reservation criteria for women candidates, many NLUs reserve seats for women candidates. For example, NLSIU Bengaluru has 90 seats reserved for women candidates. Admissions to these seats are done based on the CLAT cutoff. In this article, we will discuss in detail the CLAT 2026 cutoff for female candidates, previous years’ CLAT cutoff for women candidates and more.
