CLAT 2025: Expected Cut Off & Past Trends | Marks vs Rank
As per the trends seen last year, the CLAT cut-off had gone up due to the availability of more seats and an easier CLAT question paper as pointed out in the CLAT exam analysis. If the trends persist this year, then the CLAT cut-off 2025 is expected to be higher this year as well. There will be five rounds of CLAT 2025 counselling for admissions into participating NLUs. Through the Common Law Admission Test, candidates are admitted into the law programmes of 24 participating NLUs and 60+ affiliated colleges.
Given below are a few factors that will determine the expected CLAT cut-off 2025. These factors will decide whether the CLAT exam is tough and the estimated cut-off.
Number of candidates appearing in the exam: The more number of candidates appearing for CLAT, the higher the competition will be. As per statistics available for last year, 58504 candidates appeared in CLAT UG and 10282 candidates appeared for CLAT PG.
Difficulty level of the exam: An easy CLAT question paper will lead to a higher CLAT 2025 cut-off score. As per last year’s CLAT exam analysis, 90+ was a good score in CLAT.
CLAT NLU preferences: Candidates can gain admission in only those NLUs that are part of their NLU preferences. The most preferred NLUs such as NLSIU Bengaluru and NALSAR Hyderabad tend to have higher CLAT cut off. This year, candidates were required to provide their NLU preferences at the time of counselling registration. It gives candidates the benefit of hindsight and preferring those NLUs where they have a realistic chance of admission based on their CLAT score.
Reservation policy followed by each NLU: The category-wise CLAT cut-off 2025 will be impacted by the reservation policy followed by the NLUs. Some NLUs also have domicile reservations as per the CLAT 2025 reservation criteria where seats are reserved for candidates who belong to the state in which the NLU is located.
Seats offered by the NLUs: The higher the number of CLAT seats offered by an NLU, the more is the number of admitted students. More seats can lead to a decrease in the CLAT cut-off score of the last admitted candidate. An example of this scenario is NLSIU Bengaluru which now offers around 300 seats for its UG programme, higher than what it offered earlier. This has led to the NLSIU Bengaluru cut-off rank going above 100 last year.

Law aspirants often find that CLAT is tough. CLAT is one of the lengthiest and reading-intensive law entrance exams in India. The difficulty level of CLAT is reflected in its success rate. An analysis of CLAT statistics of previous year shows that the success rate in CLAT UG is around 5%. One in 20 candidates can obtain a UG seat in an NLU. The success rate in CLAT PG is around 13% which means approximately 1 out 8 candidates can obtain a PG seat in an NLU. The low success rate is on account of the high CLAT cut-off for top NLUs. However, it has also been observed that seats in lower-ranked NLUs sometimes remain vacant, as many students opt for affiliated colleges that accept CLAT instead of a seat in a bottom-ranked NLU.
There are no qualifying marks in CLAT 2025, and the Consortium of NLUs does not prescribe any minimum passing marks. All candidates who have a valid score in CLAT 2025 are eligible to register for the counselling process.
A good score in CLAT PG 2025 is expected to be 71+ marks for top NLUs. As per the CLAT PG 2025 marks vs rank analysis, a score of 71+ marks will translate into a rank of 100 or above. This can help candidates clear the CLAT LLM cut-off 2025 for premier NLUs such as NLSIU Bengaluru and NALSAR Hyderabad. The table given below provides the expected CLAT cut-off 2025 for LLM for top NLUs.
| NLU | General | EWS | OBC | SC | ST |

Hi aspirant,
Securing a seat with a rank of 8290 in CLAT 2025 may be difficult, but not impossible, given the cutoff trends from the previous year and the fact that IP University (Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University) takes into account CLAT scores for admission to its BA LLB program. This is especially true if you are a candidate from Delhi.
According to the 2024 cutoff data, some colleges connected with IP University had closing ranks for the BA LLB program that exceeded 8,000 in subsequent rounds, especially for the Delhi area.
To find out the precise requirements for admission and the list of linked universities that accept CLAT scores, it is best to consult the official IP University admission pamphlet for 2025. Additionally, after every counseling session, monitor the cutoff lists that IP University releases.
All the best!
Hello,
Yes, you can take part in CLAT counselling even if you passed through a supplementary exam. But make sure you have your final passing marksheet or result before the admission process starts.
Most colleges will ask for proof that you have passed your Class 12 before giving final admission. So, if your result comes out in time, you won’t face any problem.
Hope it helps !
