Hello Divya,

ICFAI Law School accepts CLAT scores but does not have a fixed cut-off, as it also conducts its own entrance exam, ILSAT. Admission is typically based on performance in CLAT, ILSAT, or merit in qualifying exams (10+2).

Is CLAT Necessary?

• No , CLAT is not mandatory. You can apply via ILSAT or through merit based on 10+2 marks.
  
  
• If you have a good CLAT score, it can strengthen your chances of admission.

Hello,

Based on your CLAT 2025 score of 77.25 and an All India Rank (AIR) of 4146 with a general category and J&K domicile, here's an analysis:

1. General Category Cutoff : For most National Law Universities (NLUs), the general category cutoff for CLAT tends to be higher than 77.25, particularly for top NLUs like NLSIU Bangalore, NALSAR Hyderabad, and NLU Delhi.

2. J&K Domicile Advantage : The J&K domicile could give you a slight advantage as some NLUs have a reserved quota for candidates from J&K. However, the exact impact on cutoffs varies by institution.

3. Cutoff Ranges : Based on last year’s data:

   • Top NLUs : Your score is unlikely to meet the cutoff for top NLUs (e.g., NLSIU, NALSAR).
   • Mid-Range NLUs : For mid-tier NLUs, the cutoff might range between 80-95 for general candidates, so your chances could be limited.

4. Possible Options : You may have a chance at newer or lower-ranked NLUs, especially if they have lower cutoffs for J&K domicile candidates.

You can use the CLAT college predictor tool to predict which college you can get based on your score or rank.

Hope it helps !

Hello,

With a score of 40 in the CLAT exam and belonging to the Scheduled Caste (SC) category, securing admission to a National Law University (NLU) may be challenging. Based on previous years' trends, the expected CLAT cut-off marks for the SC category in top NLUs are approximately 60-65.

However, there are alternative law colleges that accept CLAT scores and may offer admission with your current score. Consider the following options:

1. Private Law Colleges : Several private institutions accept CLAT scores and may have lower cut-offs compared to NLUs. Examples include:

   • Symbiosis Law School, Pune
   • Jindal Global Law School, Sonipat
   • UPES School of Law, Dehradun

2. State Law Universities : Some state law universities have their own admission criteria and may consider CLAT scores. For instance:

   • Tamil Nadu Dr. Ambedkar Law University, Chennai
   • Chhatrapati Shahu Ji Maharaj University, Kanpur

3. Affiliated Law Colleges : Numerous law colleges affiliated with universities across India accept CLAT scores. These institutions might have varying cut-offs and could be a viable option.

It's advisable to research each institution's admission criteria, seat availability, and cut-off trends to make an informed decision.

Hope it helps !
