Factors Determining How High Will the CLAT 2025 Cut-Off Go

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.

Will the CLAT 2025 Cut Off be High?

As per the trends observed last year, the CLAT 2025 cut-off marks are expected to be high. Candidates have to score in the range of 80 to 85% marks to get a seat in the top NLUs. However, the CLAT cut-off ranks at top NLUs are expected to remain the same.

Hello,

In CLAT , the 9-digit admit card number is not the same as the roll number you have to write on the OMR sheet. The OMR sheet has only 7 blocks because the CLAT roll number is shorter.

You should check your admit card again and look for the roll number printed near your name and exam details. Fill only that roll number in the OMR sheet. Do not write the 9-digit admit card number.

If you still cannot find the roll number, you can ask the exam invigilator on the exam day.

Hope it helps !

Hello,

To check your CLAT exam hall ticket, go to the official website, log in with your registration or application number and password (or other login details), and the admit card will be displayed on the screen. You should then download and print at least two copies of the admit card for the exam and counselling process.

I hope it will clear your query!!
