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: 30th July | Limited seats available in select program
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.

1. UPES Dehradun
2. ICFAI Law School, Hyderabad
3. Alliance University, Bangalore
4. VIT School of Law
5. Amity Law School, Noida

Hope this answer helps! Thank You!!!
Hi dear candidate,
Your rank of 4032 in CLAT exam with EWS appears to be insufficient for admission in IP University colleges as the category wise cut off for IPU colleges is lower than your rank at least for the top tier colleges like VIPS and MAIMS.
The majority of seats are reserved for students with Delhi domicile in IPU colleges and if you belong to outside Delhi then, it's slightly difficult.
However, some colleges like Trinity (TIIPS) in Dwarka accepted admissions for Law at higher rank of around 8,000 so you might also have a chance there.
Otherwise, you can find top Law colleges in Delhi NCR at our official website:

Hello Aspirant,
The CLAT (Common Law Admission Test) exam consists of five subjects which are given below:-
1. English Language
2. Current Affairs, including General Knowledge
3.Legal Reasoning
4. Logical Reasoning
5. Quantitative Techniques (Basic Mathematics)
And
These subjects are tested in one single paper with 120 multiple-choice questions for UG CLAT (as per the latest pattern from 2024 onwards). Each question carries 1 mark, and there's a 0.25 negative mark for every incorrect answer.
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.
