The Consortium of NLUs will conduct the CLAT 2026 on December 7, 2025, in offline mode.
The NLIU Bhopal cut-off will be determined based on the following factors:
Difficulty level of the exam: The CLAT 2026 score required for NLIU Bhopal is expected to go up if the difficulty level of the exam is low. Inversely, a difficult exam will keep the NLIU Bhopal cut-off low. If the trend this year remains the same as pointed out in last year’s exam analysis, then a good score in CLAT 2026 will be higher for NLU admissions.
Seat intake: Another factor influencing the NLIU Bhopal clat cut-off is the university’s seat intake. If there are more NLU vacant seats, the CLAT 2026 score required for NLIU Bhopal admissions will go down in each round of counselling.
Reservation criteria: The admissions at NLIU Bhopal will be done as per the CLAT 2026 reservation criteria laid out for the university. Candidates from reserved categories required a low CLAT 2026 score for NLIU Bhopal admissions in comparison to the general candidates. The NLIU Bhopal cut-off will further reduce if the candidate also enjoys a domicile reservation.
CLAT NLU Preference List: Candidates can gain admission into only those NLUs which are part of the candidate’s NLU preference list. The more the number of candidates opting for NLIU Bhopal, the higher the CLAT 2026 score required for NLIU Bhopal admissions.
Given below is the expected CLAT 2026 score required for admissions at NLIU Bhopal for BA LLB and BSc LLB programmes. The CLAT cut-off for the general category in NLIU Bhopal is around 90+ marks for both BA LLB and BSc LLB programmes, gradually decreasing for other categories.

Hello,
In CLAT , the 9-digit admit card number is not the same as the roll number you have to write on the OMR sheet. The OMR sheet has only 7 blocks because the CLAT roll number is shorter.
You should check your admit card again and look for the roll number printed near your name and exam details. Fill only that roll number in the OMR sheet. Do not write the 9-digit admit card number.
If you still cannot find the roll number, you can ask the exam invigilator on the exam day.
Hope it helps !
Hello,
To check your CLAT exam hall ticket, go to the official website, log in with your registration or application number and password (or other login details), and the admit card will be displayed on the screen. You should then download and print at least two copies of the admit card for the exam and counselling process.
I hope it will clear your query!!
