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.
The tables given below demonstrate the NLUs available for candidates falling between ranks 2500 to 2800 in each of the counselling rounds:
