NLIU Bhopal offers BA LLB (Hons.), BSc LLB (Hons) and LLM programmes. However, it is not offering BSc LLB in 2025-26 session. The university conducts its admissions through the centralised CLAT 2025 admission process. Candidates will be admitted into 5-year LLB and LLM programmes of participating CLAT colleges through the Common Law Admission Test. The Consortium of NLUs conducted CLAT 2025 on December 1, 2024, in offline mode.
The NLIU Bhopal cut-off will be determined based on the following factors:
Difficulty level of the exam: The CLAT 2025 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 2025 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 2025 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 2025 reservation criteria laid out for the university. Candidates from reserved categories required a low CLAT 2025 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 2025 score required for NLIU Bhopal admissions.
Given below is the expected CLAT 2025 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.

On Question asked by student community
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.
