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.
