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 |
NALSAR Hyderabad | 100+ | 150 |
WBNUJS Kolkata | 98+ | 250 |
NLU Jodhpur | 95+ | 350 |

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.
hey, Having a CLAT rank of 21,000 and an SC category rank of approximately 1,000, you may get a good chance by applying to NLUs in which SC category seats remain unfilled. At this rank extend, there are routinely open positions at state NLUs or more current NLUs with reserved seats SC candidates. Focus on appying to NLUs such as NLU Jodhpur, NLU Odisha or NLU Tamil Nadu, which occasionally have vacancies in saved categories. As well, monitor the CLAT guiding entry in terms of opening overhauls and participate in spot rounds properly.
With rank of -8220, here's a realistic idea of where he can get into
1. Top NLUs (I-III) Like NLSU Bengaluru, NALSAR Hyderabad, WBNUJS Kolkata, and NLIU Bhopal need much higher rank (-100 - 450), so they won't be reachable,.
2. Mid- tier NLUs such as HNLU Raipur (-765), NLU Jodhpur (-357), RMLNLU Lucknow (-721), GNLU Gandhinagar (-402), NLUO Cuttack (-943), and DSNLU Vizag (-1,390) Are still out of reach.
3. With rank - 8220, he might qualify for NLU state quotas or lower - ranked NLUs, but that depends heavily on :
4. Private law college accepting CLAT scores (like Amity, nirma, alliance , etc) are a great fallback and ofter take candidates with ranks up to 20,000+
Hello Rajdeep,
You have a good chance of getting into the following NLUs under the OBC Category (cut-offs from previous years, which may change slightly) with an All India Rank of 2754 and an OBC rank of 314 in CLAT 2025:
Hello,
Your CLAT 2025 rank of 21,177 places you beyond the typical cutoff range for OBC-A (West Bengal domicile) candidates seeking admission to WBNUJS Kolkata .
In Round 1 of CLAT 2025 counselling , the closing rank for OBC-A (WB domicile) was 10,297 for BA LLB and 13,417 for BSc LLB.
Given that only three counselling rounds are being conducted this year, compared to five in previous years, the chances of significant rank movement are limited. Also, the closing ranks for OBC-A (WB domicile) have not extended to your current rank in previous years .
So, I will suggest you to participate in all rounds of counselling, may be you can get admission if there is any seat left, also explore alternative options like state law colleges in West Bengal with OBC-A reservation.
Hope it helps !
With 30 marks in CLAT 2025, getting admission in NLU Jodhpur is not possible because its cutoff is usually very high. For general category, students need around 90–95 marks or a top rank. Even for SC/ST categories, the required score is much higher than 30. But don’t worry — you can try for other private law colleges that accept low CLAT scores or prepare again for CLAT 2026. With better preparation, you can get into a good law college next time.
