CLAT 2025 is scheduled to be conducted on December 1, 2024, and the result will be declared tentatively one week after the exam.

    Among all the categories the CLAT general cut-off is often the highest and with CLAT rank 4,000 or above such a candidate will find it nearly impossible to secure admission in any of the NLU despite performing better than 94% of the candidates. As can be observed from the CLAT cut-off trends, for five rounds of CLAT counselling, the closing rank for a general category candidate is less than 2000 for most NLUs. The cut-off is even higher for top NLUs, almost less than 500.

    With only limited seats available through CLAT 2025 counselling, candidates with rank more than 4000 should look at some top Non NLUs which accept CLAT scores. In fact, some of the top private law colleges in India and top government law colleges are at par with tier 2 and tier 3 NLUs. Additionally, one can also consider appearing for other law entrance exams such as CUET law or state-level law entrance exams in case of a low rank in CLAT 2025.
