NLU admissions 2025 will be done for 5-year LLB and LLM programmes. CLAT 2025 was conducted on December 1, 2024 in offline mode. The CLAT UG 2025 result was published on May 17, 2025 following the Supreme Court verdict. There are 24 NLUs and over 60+ affiliated colleges in the CLAT 2025 admissions process. In all there are 4092 5-year LLB seats and 1,599 LLM seats in NLU admission process. Two new universities namely, RPNLU Prayagraj and IIULER Goa are now members of the Consortium and part of the NLU admissions 2025 process. NLU Delhi conducts its admissions through the All India Law Entrance Test. The NLU Meghalaya admissions are also done through separate entrance exams conducted by the university. Some NLUs such as NLSIU Bengaluru and NLUO Cuttack also offer a 3-year LLB programme for which the NLU admissions are done separately by each NLU.
This year, candidates have to provide their NLU preferences after the results have been declared. The Consortium will conduct a centralised CLAT 2025 counselling for NLU seat allotment. Candidates who have a valid score in the Common Law Admission Test and have received the counselling invites must register online for the counselling process to obtain CLAT 2025 seat allotment. However, for seats in a few categories such as Foreign Nationals (FN) the NLU admission without CLAT is conducted as candidates have to apply individually to the NLUs. The CLAT LLM 2025 admissions will be done based on scores in the Common Law Admission Test PG which will be conducted along with the UG exam. Read on to get all details about NLU admissions 2025 including the process, courses and seats matrix.

The counselling process for NLU admissions is usually done in five rounds. For CLAT 2025, the Consortium has notified only three rounds. Candidates who have a valid score must register for the CLAT counselling process by paying the counselling registration fee and uploading the required documents. After closure of the counselling registration window, the consortium will publish the CLAT allotment list for each NLU for each of the law programmes. The NLU 2025 seat allotment will be done on the basis of candidate’s score as well as the NLU preferences submitted by the candidate at the time of registration.
It must be noted that candidates will gain admission in only those NUs which are part of their NLU preference list. Candidates have to clear the CLAT cut off for the respective NLU in which they want to seek admission. If the allotted candidates are satisfied with the allotted seat or have got the first choice NLU then they must choose the freeze option and pay the confirmation fee. If candidates are not satisfied with the seat and want to be considered for subsequent rounds of NLU admission 2025, they must choose the float option. If they don’t want to get a seat and want to exit the counselling, they can choose the exit option.
Candidates have to add NLU preferences after the declaration of CLAT 2025 result through their CLAT login. This allows the candidates the benefit of targeting specific NLUs as per their performance in the exam. Candidates can fill in those NLUs in which they have the highest chances of admission.

Hello Aspirant,
No, you cannot use EWS certificate issued to your father in your name. In CLAT, EWS certificate is to be issued in the name of a candidate on the basis of family income and assets even if you are a minor. Since you are under 18, the certificate will still have your details but it will take your family income (with your father) into consideration. You will need to apply for your own EWS certificate through the local authority pre counselling.

Hello!
CLAT scores around 41–45 marks are typically quite low for admission into top NLUs through the general category. Most NLUs cut off above 80–90+ marks for BA LLB admissions. If you're applying under a reserved category (e.g. SC, ST, OBC), there’s some chance at lower-ranked NLUs, but general category seats at NLUs are highly competitive.
However, many private law colleges accept CLAT scores and may provide good studies and reasonable placement opportunities. These colleges often have higher cutoffs and inclusive selection. If you are keen to pursue law, consider applying to these institutions as well. And if you're motivated, you could also aim to improve your CLAT score next year many students do exactly that for better prospects.
