Factors Influencing CLAT 2025 Cutoff for Top 10 NLUs

The cut-off for the top 10 National Law Universities (NLUs) in India for the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) is typically high. Below are the key factors that will determine the CLAT 2025 cut-off for these institutions.

  • Exam Difficulty: Analysis of the CLAT 2025 exam indicates the exam was easier to moderately difficult compared to previous years, which will take the top 10 NLU cut-off higher.
  • Seat Availability: According to the CLAT UG seat matrix, the top 10 NLUs collectively offer over 1,600 seats. A larger seat intake generally results in a lower CLAT cut-off.
  • Reservation Policies: CLAT cut-offs for reserved categories are significantly lower. Additionally, candidates with domicile reservations benefit from further relaxed cut-offs within the same category.

Have a question related to CLAT ?

Hi dear candidate,

Both the colleges Maharaja Agrasen (MAIMS) or Gitarattan (GIBS) are affiliated to IP University and allows admission either by CLAT or IPU CET Law. Without either of these exams, your admission is NOT accepted there. You can try looking for management quota seats in these colleges if you have got good marks in 12th class.

CLAT Registration 2026 (Started): Documents Required, Application Fee, Link, Steps to Apply

BEST REGARDS

Right now there is no official e-guide for CLAT 2026 released by the Consortium of NLUs. They usually provide sample questions and model papers closer to the exam, but not a complete guide at this stage.

You can still prepare using free study material available online. Many websites provide free downloadable PDFs, mock tests, and previous year papers that will help you understand the pattern and practice important topics.

If you want a structured book, there are two good options. The Oswaal CLAT & AILET guide has past year solved papers, topic-wise questions, and mock tests. The Arihant CLAT Conqueror book has more than 3000 practice questions with solutions. Both are helpful depending on whether you prefer solved papers or more practice questions.

Hello,

Here is the link where you will get CLAT Question Paper solution : CLAT 2024 Question Paper with solutions

Hope it helps !
