The CLAT general cut-off 2025 will be determined based on the following factors-
Number of applicants
Difficulty level of the exam
Availability of seats
Reservation criteria followed by the NLU
NLU preferences given by candidates
The CLAT 2025 general category cut-off will be the benchmark for success in the CLAT 2025 exam for general category candidates. As per the CLAT exam analysis of the previous year's CLAT question paper, a good score in CLAT UG 2025 for general category is expected to be 100+. With a score of 100 or more in CLAT 2025 a candidate is expected to achieve a rank within 150 and gain admission into NLSIU Bengaluru or NALSAR Hyderabad. For Tier 1 NLUs such as NLIU Bhopal and GNLU Gandhinagar, a CLAT cut-off rank of 450 is needed for general category candidates.
Last year, the consortium revised the CLAT exam pattern 2025 by reducing the number of questions to make the exam more student-friendly. This change has resulted in higher CLAT cut-off marks for general category. However, the change in CLAT cut off 2025 rank for general category is not expected to be significant. The CLAT general cut-off rank has gone beyond 100 for NLSIU Bengaluru due to the introduction of more seats last year. An understanding of CLAT marks vs rank can help candidates understand how marks in CLAT translate to a particular rank.
Name of Law School | Expected CLAT 2025 cut-off marks for general | Expected CLAT cut-off rank for general |
---|---|---|
NLSIU Bengaluru | 100+ | 100 |

The Consortium of NLUs successfully conducted the CLAT 2025 exam on December 1, 2024 and released the revised results of the CLAT on May 17, 2025. Candidates can predict the colleges they can get admission to based on their CLAT marks and revised rank. The CLAT College Predictor by Careers360 provides college suggestions based on a large database of past CLAT cut-off 2025 trends for different colleges. The CLAT college predictor also helps the candidates get insight into the availability of seats, courses, and category-wise expected cut-offs.
The success rate in CLAT 2025 for general candidates can be analysed in terms of the number of seats on offer and the candidates that appear for the exam. As per the exam statistics available for last year, 58504 candidates appeared for CLAT UG and 10282 candidates appeared for CLAT PG. In comparison, the number of CLAT seats for the general category is less making CLAT tough for law aspirants. The total number of general category seats in CLAT 2025 is around 1637 seats for 5-year LLB and 699 for LLM. The seat availability is one of the determining factors for the CLAT cut-off 2025 for general. The table given below provides the CLAT 2025 general seat matrix.

Check Category-wise cut-off marks:
A score of 70 in CLAT may not be a good score for the general category to gain admission in top NLUs. A good score in CLAT 2025 will be 90+ marks.
There are no minimum qualifying marks in CLAT 2025. However, only those candidates are eligible for admissions who have received the CLAT 2025 counselling invite.
40 is not a good score for the general category in CLAT 2025.
Hello,
With a CLAT AIR 3924 and EWS rank 306, and having Bihar domicile, you have a fair chance of getting into some of the Tier 3 NLUs . Based on your rank and interest to explore all fields of law, here are some better options among Tier 3 NLUs:
CNLU Patna – Since you have Bihar domicile, this is your best chance. Also, it's closer to home, and the exposure is better compared to other Tier 3 NLUs.
HNLU Raipur – You might get it in later rounds. It has decent exposure and growing opportunities.
DSNLU Visakhapatnam – It’s improving slowly, and the placements are also picking up.
MNLU Nagpur or Aurangabad – These are new but have decent faculty and infrastructure. Placement is still developing.
What Can you do to get Seat :-
Keep CNLU as first preference due to your domicile and good chance.
After that, go for HNLU, DSNLU, MNLUs, and others based on seat availability.
Since you want to explore all fields of law, look for NLUs with active societies, mooting culture, internships, and alumni network.
Hope it helps !

Hello there,
With a CLAT 2025 All India Rank of 12,400 in the SC category , securing admission to the top National Law Universities (NLUs) is unlikely, as their SC category cut-offs typically fall within the 3,000–6,000 rank range.
