Only those candidates who clear the CLAT cut-off 2025 will be offered admissions. But how high will the CLAT 2025 cut-offs go? Last year, the CLAT 2025 exam pattern was revised to make the Common Law Admission Test more student-friendly. As a result, the CLAT cut-offs were high. 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.

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.
