The WBNUJS Kolkata cut-off will be affected by several factors. The details are given below
Overall Difficulty Level of the Exam: The difficulty level of CLAT has an inverse relationship with the cut-off. A difficult question paper will lead to lower CLAT cut-offs while an easier question paper will drive the cut-off higher.
Reservation Policy: The WBNUJS Kolkata cut-off will be lower for candidates from reserved categories than for the general category. The university offers reservations for OBC candidates from West Bengal which further expands the cut-off gap between the categories.
Seat Availability: The more the number of vacant seats after each round of counselling, the CLAT score required for WBNUJS Kolkata admissions will go further down. The CLAT seats will be filled as per the CLAT 2026 reservation criteria laid down by each NLU.
NLU Preference List: The preferences submitted by the candidates also play a role in determining the NLU cut-off. WBNUJS Kolkata is among the top colleges in the rank-wise list of NLUs, as per the NIRF law rankings. This makes it a preferred choice for candidates that further drives the cut-off higher.
