    Category-Wise Good Score in CLAT 2025: Important Points

    • A good score in CLAT 2025 is highest for the general category and progressively reduces for other categories such as EWS, OBC, SC, and ST

    • A good score required in CLAT 2025 for any NLU is often the lowest for the ST category

    • Premier NLUs such as NLSIU Bengaluru and NALSAR Hyderabad require the highest CLAT 2025 scores for admission across various categories.

    • For NLUs that offer domicile reservation under the CLAT reservation criteria, the good score in CLAT 2025 within a particular category may be less for candidates coming under domicile reservation than candidates coming under the All India category.

    • A good score required in CLAT 2025 will depend on factors such as the difficulty level of the exam, the candidate’s NLU preferences, the CLAT seat matrix, and the reservation policy
