A CLAT 2025 rank of 4000 or above may not be the most desirable result. Close to 75000 candidates have registered for the Common Law Admission Test this year. As per the CLAT seats matrix, there are around 3800 5-year LLB seats and 1550 LLM seats. This makes CLAT exam tough. So, the question arises, what is next for such candidates, who got a low score in CLAT 2025? However, the reality is there is no dearth of colleges for CLAT rank 4000 or above. CLAT 2025 is scheduled to be conducted on December 1, 2024, and the result will be declared tentatively one week after the exam. Read on to find out which are the top 10 college options for CLAT rank 4000 and above including course and fee details.

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.

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.
