The Consortium of National Law Universities has published the third CLAT UG 2025 merit list on June 20, 2025, and started the final round of counselling. Only those candidates who clear the CLAT cut-off 2025 are able to secure admission. The CLAT cut-off is the rank of the last candidate from each category admitted into a particular NLU. In this article, let’s look at the opening and closing cut-off ranks after three rounds of CLAT 2025 counselling.
The consortium conducted three rounds of CLAT 2025 counselling instead of the usual five rounds due to the delay caused by various court cases. Through the Common Law Admission Test UG, candidates will be admitted into the 5-year LLB programmes of participating NLUs.
Given below are the factors that play an influential role in determining the CLAT cut-off 2025
Number of applicants
NLU preferences filled out by candidates
Difficulty level of the exam
CLAT 2025 reservation criteria followed by each NLU
The table below provides the category-wise opening and closing NLU cut-off ranks for various categories for each NLU after three rounds of counselling.
