Read on to find out how high the CLAT cut-off 2025 is likely to be including the expected good score in CLAT and category-wise cut-off. CLAT 2025 is on December 1, 2024.

How high the cut-off for CLAT 2025 will go will depend on the factors given below:
Difficulty level: A more difficult exam will mean, the CLAT cut-off 2025 will not be too high. A good score in CLAT 2025 will be lower if the exam turns out to be difficult. A revised CLAT pattern has driven the CLAT cut-off higher, close to 80% marks for the general category, than the earlier 64-66%.
Number of applicants: Around 75000+ candidates have registered for CLAT 2025. A higher number of applicants usually translates to tougher competition which will in turn drive the CLAT cut-off 2025 higher.
Available Seats: If the number of seats is higher then more students can be given admission. For instance, NLSIU Bengaluru now offers more than 100 seats which has resulted in the NLU cut-off getting lower.
NLU Preferences: Another factor determining how high the CLAT cut-off 2025 will go is the NLU preferences submitted by candidates. If more candidates opt for a particular NLU, the cut offs will be higher. If there are plenty of NLU vacant seats as happens with certain lower-ranked NLUs, then the NLU cut-off 2025 will be lower
Reservation Criteria: The NLU admission will be done as per the CLAT reservation criteria followed by each NLU. The CLAT cut-off for the general category is often the highest among all categories. However, how high the cut-off will go will also be affected by factors such as domicile reservation, horizontal reservation for women, and vertical reservation for SC, ST, and OBC categories.
