Hello there,

No, you cannot take CLAT now for admission in the current year. CLAT (Common Law Admission Test) is conducted once a year , and admissions are based on that year's exam results.

Options for You:

  1. If you missed CLAT 2024 , you can apply for CLAT 2025 (exam in December 2024) for admission in 2025.

  2. Some private law colleges and universities offer direct admission or conduct their own entrance exams (like LSAT India, SLAT, etc.).

  3. State-level law entrance exams may still be open (e.g., MH CET Law, AP LAWCET, TS LAWCET).



    I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.

    Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.

With a CLAT rank of 1910 and being a female candidate from outside Delhi, your chances of getting into University School of Law and Legal Studies (USLLS) are uncertain.




While USLLS cutoffs vary every year, general cutoff ranks for female candidates outside Delhi are typically lower than those for male candidates. However, a rank of 1910 might be considered borderline for admission to USLLS.




To give you a better idea, here are some factors to consider:




- Cutoff Trends: USLLS cutoffs have ranged from 1000 to 2000 in previous years, but these numbers can fluctuate.


- Seat Availability: The number of seats available for female candidates from outside Delhi can impact your chances of admission.


Considering these factors, it's essential to prepare for other options as well. Some alternative colleges you may consider are:




- Gujarat National Law University


- Dr. B.R. Ambedkar National Law University, Sonipat


- National Law University, Tripura


- Himachal Pradesh National Law University, Shimla




Keep in mind that admission processes and cutoffs can change, so stay updated with the latest information.

Focus on understanding the exam pattern and syllabus from the official NMIMS website or educational sites. Practice with available sample papers and mock tests, even if they aren't past papers.  Thoroughly cover the syllabus, which typically includes Verbal Reasoning, General Knowledge, Quantitative Reasoning, Logical Reasoning, and Legal Reasoning. Use standard law entrance exam study materials. While NMIMS LAT is distinct from CLAT, preparing for exams like SET LAW or LSAT India, which share some syllabus overlap, can be helpful. Remember to focus on your strengths, stay updated on current events and legal developments, and utilize all available resources for effective preparation.

Hello Ayush,

With a rank of 12,866 in CLAT 2025 and a Delhi domicile, getting admission to IP University through the CLAT score can be challenging, especially for popular courses like law. However, IP University also accepts IPU CET scores for admission to law courses.

If you're looking at CLAT for IP University, it may depend on the course, category, and seat availability. Generally, lower ranks may struggle to secure a seat in the top law colleges. But with Delhi domicile, you might have a better chance compared to non-domicile candidates.

It would be helpful to also consider applying for IPU CET for law admissions to increase your chances.
