The CLAT expected cut-off 2025 will be different for each of the 24 participating NLUs. Top-ranked NLUs such as NLSIU Bengaluru and NALSAR Hyderabad are often the first choice for any CLAT aspirant, and the expected CLAT 2025 cut-off will be higher for such NLUs. The CLAT 2025 cut-off gradually decreases as one moves to NLUs lower down the order. In the bottom-ranked NLUs such as NLU Tripura, many seats are often left vacant even after several rounds of counselling.
Careers360 launched the CLAT 2025 college predictor, a free tool which will help candidates to know the NLUs and courses in which they have chances of admission based on the rank in CLAT 2025. The tool uses details such as rank, state, gender, seat type, and category, entered by the candidates to provide the list of NLU and course recommendations.

Hello,
For your mentioned rank, the top elite law universities are constrained to be limited, especially when the chance is fairly divided among reserved category people.
But apart from CLAT rank, NRI admissions have some different processes.
Some NLUs handle counselling with required eligibility and quotas. The counselling registration window is open until December 27, 2025. You can apply to know through them. Because even missing application deadlines will lessen your eligibility.
NRI admissions regarding CLAT can be applied directly with the major required document proofs.
Cutoffs to 10,000 are being allotted after regular rounds for counselling, but the course fee for this will be 10-20 lakhs per annum only if the candidate is either of these: NRI, OCI, or PIO.

HELLO,
With your OBC rank of 2716 and AIR 14780 , your chances at NUALS Kochi are possible , potentially even in earlier rounds , as NUALS often closes around 10000 - 15000 for general and even higher for OBC , but you should definitely aim for it and consider other NLUs like NLUJA , MNLU Nagpur in the 15K - 20K AIR range for OBC.
As your AIR of 14780 falls within the range where lower tier NLUs like NUALS Kochi often admit candidates, in later rounds or through state reservation and your OBC rank is strong for this category.
