UPES Integrated LLB Admissions 2025
Ranked #28 amongst Institutions in India by NIRF | Ranked #1 in India for Academic Reputation by QS Rankings | 16.6 LPA Highest CTC | Last Date to Apply: 15th July
The Consortium of NLUs declared the CLAT 2025 results on December 7, 2024. CLAT marks 75-80 translate into a score of 62% to 66% percentage, as the total marks in CLAT 2025 is 120. As per the CLAT 2025 marks vs rank analysis, the expected rank with a CLAT score of 75-80 will be 5000 to 8000. Through the Common Law Admission Test, candidates will be admitted into 5-year LLB and LLM Read on to determine which will be the top NLUs for CLAT score of 75-80 marks and the cut-off trends.
As per the CLAT cut-off trends available for last year, a good score in CLAT 2025 is between 90-100 marks for top NLUs. This conclusion is derived from the CLAT cut-off for the general category. However, for other reserved categories, CLAT scores of 75-80 may still turn out to be good enough for admission into top NLUs.
Before the CLAT exam pattern was revised, a CLAT marks 75-80 would have been enough for a general category to gain a seat in premier NLUs such as NLSIU or NALSAR. However, with the reduced number of questions last year, the CLAT exam analysis pointed to an easier question paper, taking the CLAT cut-off marks higher.

The table given below shows the rank into which CLAT 2025 scores of 75-80 will translate into. This data will help candidates set a goal in terms of marks to be achieved that will provide them with strong chances of NLU admission into top universities. As mentioned earlier in the article, a score of 75-80 is not likely to be enough for general and certain other categories for admission into India’s elite NLUs.
Marks | Rank range |
75 | 7200-8000 |
76 | 6500-7200 |
77 | 6000-6500 |
78 | 5300-6000 |
79 | 4800-5300 |
80 | 4300-4800 |
As the CLAT marks vs rank analysis show, anyone with a CLAT score of 75 and above can target those universities where the NLU cut-off is between 4000 - 8000 rank. An NLU where the cut-off rank is higher than 4000 ranks may be difficult to get. As a result, CLAT marks of 75-80 will not be enough for a general category to gain admission into any of the NLUs unless any vacant seats are left at the end of the counselling process.
For SC and ST candidates, the top NLUs for CLAT marks 75-80 are NLSIU Bengaluru, NALSAR Hyderabad, WBNUJS Kolkata, GNLU Gandhinagar, NLU Jodhpur, RMLNLU Lucknow, NLIU Bhopal, HNLU Raipur, NLU Odisha, and MNLU Mumbai. It can be confirmed with the data available as per the CLAT cut-off for SC, and CLAT cut off for ST categories.
The table given below provides the category-wise list of NLUs for CLAT marks 75-80. The top NLUs are those that rank high in the NIRF law rankings 2024 and have a CLAT cut-off rank range of 4000-8000. An NLU where the cut-off range is much lower than 8000 rank may not be the appropriate choice for a law aspirant.

CLAT result 2025 is declared on December 7, 2024.
A score of 75-80 is a good score in CLAT 2025 for SC/ST candidates to secure admission into top NLUs.
The corresponding rank for a CLAT score of 75 to 80 is between 4000 to 8000.
One can check the CLAT 2025 cut-off through the CLAT merit list published on the consortium’s official website.
24 NLUs are participating in CLAT 2025.
With an All India SC category rank of 1561 in CLAT, you have a strong chance of getting admission into several National Law Universities through the counselling rounds. Based on past year trends, this rank can fetch you a seat in NLUs like NLIU Bhopal, HNLU Raipur, RGNUL Patiala, and possibly even higher-ranked ones like WBNUJS Kolkata or NLU Jodhpur depending on how cutoffs move in the later rounds.
SC category cutoffs for top NLUs tend to vary each year, but many of them have admitted students with SC ranks between 1500 and 3000, especially in rounds 2 and 3. Your chances increase further if you list a wide range of NLUs in your preference order during counselling. Also, make sure to complete all required counselling steps, document verification, and preference locking on time to avoid missing out.
With your rank, you're well-positioned to get a seat—just stay active in the admission process and keep checking updates from the CLAT consortium.
Dear student,
For Delhi University’s BA LLB program through CLAT, EWS category admissions last year (2024) typically closed around a rank of 1100 to 1200. This means if you scored around 90–95 marks in CLAT, you had a good chance of getting in. The exact cut-off can change slightly each year depending on competition and seat availability, but staying within the top 1200 is generally safe for EWS candidates.
The cutoff for DU BA LLB for CLAT ews has not been released yet.You can check the cutoff in this website after notification of release of cutoff - https://clat2024.consortiumofnlus.ac.in/clat-2024/
Yes, you can get direct admission into BBA LLB at VIPS (Vivekananda Institute of Professional Studies) with 82 percent in your Class 12 exams, but not without appearing in CLAT or IPU CET.
VIPS is affiliated with Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU), and admissions to BBA LLB are done strictly through entrance exams. The primary mode of admission is through CLAT UG, as GGSIPU has adopted CLAT scores for law programs in recent years. Previously, the IPU CET was used for law admissions, but that has been phased out for integrated law courses like BBA LLB.
So, even with a good Class 12 score, you cannot get admission into VIPS for BBA LLB without a valid CLAT score. The university does not allow direct management quota admissions outside the entrance process for its law programs. You may need to wait for the next CLAT attempt or consider private universities that allow direct admission based on 12th marks.
All the best!
Hi Akash,
It is good to see institutions like NMIMS have selected you for master of law based on your CLAT PG scores. If we compare the three then to be very clear:
For the best academic value and recognition choose NMIMS, or the Nirma University is also good. The DNLU is newer and can be considered as well but if we choose any one, then it is NMIMS.
ALL THE BEST !
