RPNLU Prayagraj and IIULER Goa are the new universities that are part of the consortium from the academic year 2025-26 onwards.
NLUs are spread in around 22 states and a union territory, Delhi making it reasonable for students across the country to appear for the entrance exam. Consolidating all NLUs (except NLU Delhi and NLU Meghalaya) into the CLAT Consortium also helped the law entrance exam become one of the most sought-after entrance exams for the study of law. As a result, over 60,000 candidates have appeared in CLAT every year since 2018. The CLAT registrations spiked to 75,183 in 2020 followed by a gradual decline.

Apart from CLAT, there are several other law entrance exams in India at national, state and university levels. The most prominent among these are the All India Law Entrance Test (AILET) conducted by National Law University, Delhi, the Symbiosis Law Admission Test (SLAT) conducted by Symbiosis International University, and the Common University Entrance Test Law conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA).
At the state level, Maharashtra Common Entrance Test — Law is one of the most popular law entrance exams. Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala also have state-level law entrance exams.
However, in comparison to CLAT, the next biggest entrance exam, MH CET Law has around 25,000 candidates for 5-year LLB which is almost one-third of CLAT candidates. MH CET 3-year LLB which is a graduate-level entrance exam has over 60,000 candidates appearing every year.
The success rate in CLAT like any other national entrance exam is very low. Only 4-6% of the candidates participating in CLAT make it to NLUs. Such low success rate in CLAT is mainly linked to limited seats offered by NLUs and high competition among students.
The remaining 95% of candidates either appear in other law entrance exams or use their CLAT scores for admission to CLAT-affiliated law schools.
In the last 5-years, the number of national law universities (NLUs) has increased to 25. Accordingly, the overall seat intake has also improved in CLAT. Among NLUs, NLSIU is the only university that offers 300 seats in BA LLB. NLIU Bhopal which offers BA LLB and BSc LLB has an intake of around 200+ seats. All remaining NLUs offer less than 200 seats.
Overall, NLUs offer a combined intake of around 4000+ with various combinations of integrated LLB programmes. In comparison to other national-level entrance exams, the intake is low. IITs offer over 17,000 seats whereas 21 IIMs have a combined intake of approximately 5,500 seats through the Common Admission Test (CAT).
60+ CLAT-affiliated law schools in India accept CLAT scores. Among the government colleges, the University of Delhi and IIM Rohtak are the most preferred law schools among students. Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University and its affiliated law colleges also accept CLAT scores.
However, a majority of law schools affiliated to CLAT Consortium are private law schools. The prominent private law colleges accepting CLAT scores are Nirma University, Gujarat, UPES Dehradun, BITS Law School, Alliance University and SVKM'S NMIMS University.

Even for SC/ST categories, the required score is much higher than 30. But don’t worry — you can try for other private law colleges that accept low CLAT scores or prepare again for CLAT 2026. With better preparation, you can get into a good law college next time.
For GGSIPU BA LLB through CLAT 2025, the expected cutoff rank for EWS category students from outside Delhi is around 8,500 to 12,000. This means if your CLAT rank is in this range, you may get admission. Cutoffs can change depending on how many students apply and available seats. So, keep checking official updates during counseling to know the exact cutoff and don’t lose hope!

Hello Sushil,
You will be eligible to take the CLAT examination in December 2027.
Since you will be giving your Class 12 board exams in February 2027, you will not be eligible for the CLAT held in December 2026. CLAT requires candidates to either have passed or be appearing in the Class 12 examination in the same academic year of admission.
Important points:
CLAT is conducted in December for admission in the next academic year.
You must have completed or be appearing in Class 12 by the year of admission.
Since your Class 12 boards are in 2027, your valid CLAT attempt will be in December 2027.
You should prepare accordingly for the CLAT 2027 attempt.
I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.
Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.
