A good score in CLAT 2025 is not a static figure. It depends on several factors. Given below are the factors influencing the CLAT score required for RMLNLU Lucknow:
Difficulty level of the exam: The more difficult the exam, the lower will be the RMLNLU Lucknow cut-off. Going by the trends seen in the CLAT exam analysis last year, the exam was easy and the CLAT 2025 score required for NLU admission was high.
Seat Matrix: The more the number of available seats, the lower will be the CLAT 2025 score required for RMLNLU admission. The seats and cut-off have an inverse relationship. The higher the number of NLU vacant seats in each round of counseling, the NLU cut-off will slide further down.
Reservation Criteria: The CLAT score required for RMNLU admissions will be different for each category as per the CLAT 2025 reservation criteria followed by the university. The university also offers domicile reservations for UP candidates in addition to reservations for candidates from other states which causes fluctuations in the RMLNLU CLAT cut-off.
CLAT NLU Preferences: Candidates have to submit the NLU preference list 2025 after the declaration of the CLAT 2025 result. Since RMLNLU is a top preference among candidates, the CLAT 2025 score required for RMLNLU admission will be higher.
Given below is the expected CLAT 2025 score required for RMLNLU admission by students from different categories. The table also provides the corresponding rank for the marks as indicated by the CLAT marks vs rank analysis.

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.
