The Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) is the biggest entrance exam in India for admission to law colleges. Every year the CLAT exam is conducted for admission to 24 participating National Law Universities and more than 60+ private law schools. Admissions to top NLUs through CLAT 2025 depends upon the marks secured by candidates in CLAT 2025, NLU preferences entered by them, candidate category etc. To get admission to top NLUs, general category candidates must attain a rank less than 500.

Candidates will have many options of NLUs within a rank of 2500-2800. However, a general category candidate might find it hard to get admission to top NLUs in this rank range, but they will have options in many other NLUs. Reserved category candidates might also get admission in top NLUs with this rank. This year onwards, candidates will have to enter their NLU preferences at the time of counselling registration. So it is important that candidates have a complete idea which NLUs they can get in their ranks. In this article we will list out the NLUs offering admissions to CLAT ranks between 2500 to 2800.

Questions related to CLAT

On Question asked by student community

Have a question related to CLAT ?

Hello,

While NLUs are costly, you can still pursue government-funded law education through state-funded universities and their affiliated colleges that accept CLAT scores, such as institutes like Banaras Hindu University and Aligarh Muslim University.

I hope it will clear your query!!

It is always better to take the CLAT exam right after Class 12 if your goal is to build a career in law, because CLAT UG is specifically designed for admission into integrated five-year law programs like BA LLB, BCom LLB, or BBA LLB. Appearing after Class 12 saves you time, as you complete both graduation and law together in a single course. On the other hand, if you first complete graduation and then plan for law, you will not be eligible for CLAT UG but instead for CLAT PG, which is meant for admission into LLM programs. This path takes longer, because you first spend three or four years on graduation and then add another three years in an LLB program if you choose not to go for an integrated course. So, if you are already sure about pursuing law as your career, writing CLAT right after Class 12 is the smarter and time-saving option, while writing it after graduation makes sense only if you are considering higher studies in law or a shift in career later.

For CLAT, the most important topics are from  Legal Reasoning, Current Affairs & GK, the Indian Constitution, English Language, Quantitative Techniques and Logical Reasoning. For a brief detail you can go through the following link: https://law.careers360.com/articles/clat-important-topics

Thank You.

Hi dear candidate,

Both the colleges Maharaja Agrasen (MAIMS) or Gitarattan (GIBS) are affiliated to IP University and allows admission either by CLAT or IPU CET Law. Without either of these exams, your admission is NOT accepted there. You can try looking for management quota seats in these colleges if you have got good marks in 12th class.
