Maharashtra National Law University Mumbai, despite being a relatively new NLU, is a popular choice among law aspirants. It ranks high in the candidate’s NLU preference list as evidenced by higher NLU cut-offs for the university. MNLU Mumbai is ranked 31st in the NIRF law rankings 2024. In this article, let’s look at the expected rank candidates from different categories will need to secure a seat at MNLU Mumbai.
The Consortium of National Law Universities will conduct CLAT 2025 counselling as per the revised result. The Delhi HC had earlier directed the Consortium of NLUs to publish the revised CLAT 2025 results in a judgement passed on April 23.
The factors determining the CLAT 2025 cut-off for MNLU Mumbai are given below:
Number of candidates giving MNLU as a higher preference: The more the number of candidates preferring MNLU Mumbai, the higher will be the cut-off..
Seat intake: A higher seat intake will lower the rank candidates need for MNLU Mumbai
MNLU Mumbai reservation criteria: The MNLU Mumbai admissions will be done as per the CLAT 2025 reservation criteria prescribed for the university. SC and ST category candidates need a lower rank compared to candidates from general and EWS category. Similarly, candidates with domicile reservation can secure an MNLU Mumbai seat with a lower rank.
Difficulty level of the exam: The difficulty level of Common Law Admission Test will also determine the rank needed for MNLU Mumbai admission. A more difficult exam will lower the cut-off while an easier exam will result in higher cut-offs to secure an MNLU Mumbai seat.
The table given below provides the expected CLAT rank and marks needed for admission at MNLU Mumbai. The data is prepared as per the CLAT cut-off trends observed last year.
