CLAT Cut Off 2025. Merit List – Get Previous Year Cut-Off Marks Here

Latest Applications Open 2024:

The Consortium of NLUs plans to release the CLAT Merit List 2025 shortly after announcing the CLAT Result. First, they will initiate CLAT Counselling Registration 2025, allowing only those who register by the specified deadline to participate. Specific dates for CLAT Counselling 2025 will be announced soon. The official CLAT Notification 2025 confirms that the CLAT Exam Date 2025 is scheduled for December 1, 2024, and the exam will be conducted offline in pen-and-paper mode.

The Consortium will publish CLAT 2025 cutoff marks for both undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) courses after each round of counselling and during seat allotment. These cutoffs will vary across the participating National Law Universities (NLUs), with typically higher cutoffs for top NLUs. Various factors such as exam difficulty, changes in seat availability, discrepancies in answer keys, and the number of candidates shortlisted will influence the CLAT cutoff marks each year.

CLAT 2025 Results will be Declared in the 2nd week of December 2024. The CLAT 2025 cutoffs represent the minimum scores or ranks necessary to gain admission to specific National Law Universities. These cutoff marks for 2025 will be disclosed for various categories such as Open, PwD, SC, ST, and OBC. Aspiring candidates can utilize the CLAT Rank Predictor 2025 to estimate their potential ranks based on available information.

CLAT 2025 Cut-Off

The Consortium will publish individual CLAT cutoffs for each NLU, which typically differ. NLUs with higher rankings are generally more preferred by students, thereby resulting in higher CLAT cutoffs for these top NLUs. Apart from candidate preferences, CLAT 2025 cutoffs will also rely on factors such as candidates’ marks and ranks in the merit list, their categories, and the availability of seats.

While the CLAT 2025 cutoff is crucial in determining admission, candidates can utilize the CLAT College Predictor to gauge their admission probabilities in specific NLUs. The CLAT 2025 exam took place on December 1, 2024, at 139 exam centres across India in offline mode. Approximately 52,000 candidates participated in the Common Law Admission Test aiming for admission into the 5-year LLB and LLM programs offered by the participating NLUs.

Given the evolving exam pattern for CLAT, candidates are advised to target a score surpassing 100 to enhance their chances of securing admission to top National Law Universities (NLUs) in the country. It’s crucial for candidates embarking on CLAT Preparation 2025 to comprehend the distribution of marks allocated to each section before commencing their study routine.

What is a good Rank in the CLAT exam 2025?

Scoring well in the CLAT Exam is important, but getting a good rank matters a lot too. Your CLAT 2025 Rank depends mostly on the marks you get in the CLAT test. Before figuring out how to get a high rank in CLAT 2025, it’s essential to understand how the ranking process works. Remember, having a high CLAT rank increases your chances of getting into a top NLU.

The CLAT 2025 question paper was initially set for 120 marks instead of the previously allotted 150 marks. This revised CLAT pattern was anticipated to have a significant impact on this year’s CLAT cutoff marks. However, an additional factor affecting the cutoffs now is the perceived difficulty level of the CLAT 2025 question paper. Feedback suggests that this year’s paper was considerably easier compared to the previous year, potentially resulting in a rise in the CLAT cutoff marks.

It’s important to note that despite changes in cutoff marks, the ranking of selected candidates may not shift significantly. This is because candidates’ preferences for NLUs are not expected to change drastically.

Here are some expected trends in CLAT 2025 cutoffs based on this scenario.

  • Historically, top NLUs like NLSIU Bengaluru, NALSAR Hyderabad, and WBNUJS Kolkata had cutoffs of around 66%, translating to 100-110 out of 150 marks in previous CLAT exams.
  • Due to the perceived easier CLAT 2025 paper, expectations suggest a cutoff percentage exceeding 75%.
  • A score of 90+ out of the revised 120 marks in the new pattern is anticipated as the cutoff for the top 3 NLUs this year.
  • Tier-2 and tier-3 NLUs are expected to have lower cutoffs than the top NLUs, but the difference among NLUs might not be significantly wide.
  • In CLAT 2024, NLSIU Bengaluru had a closing rank of 107 for the general category after round 1, while at GNLU Gandhinagar, a tier 2 NLU, the figure stood at 419.
  • Lower-ranked and newer NLUs like DBRANLU Sonipat have offered admission to candidates scoring around 70 marks out of 150, approximately 46-48%, indicating opportunities for candidates with lower scores to gain admission into NLUs.

Important factors affecting CLAT 2025 cut-offs

  • NLU Preferences by Candidates: The allocation of seats in the CLAT 2025 admission process heavily relies on the preferences indicated by candidates for specific NLUs. Candidates are considered solely for the NLUs they have listed in their preference order during the application phase. Thus, admission is restricted to those NLUs mentioned in their preference list, emphasizing the significance of selecting choices wisely while filling out the CLAT 2025 application.
  • Candidate’s Marks and Rank: Admission into NLUs is primarily determined by a combination of merit and candidate preference. Historically, candidates securing higher ranks have shown a preference for premier NLUs such as NLSIU Bengaluru and NALSAR Hyderabad. Consequently, the marks obtained by candidates and their respective ranks in the CLAT merit list play a pivotal role in determining their admission prospects to these esteemed NLUs.
  • Difficulty Level of Exam: The difficulty level of the CLAT 2025 exam directly influences the overall performance of candidates. In instances where the exam is comparatively easier, candidates tend to achieve higher scores. This rise in scores consequently leads to an increase in the CLAT cutoff marks. Therefore, there exists an inverse relationship between the difficulty level of the CLAT exam and the resulting cutoff marks.
  • Available Seats in NLUs: NLUs offer a finite number of seats, with around 3,000 seats available for 5-year LLB programs and approximately 1,300 seats for LLM programs. Admissions are restricted by the intake capacity of each NLU, determining the number of students they can accommodate.
  • Reservation Policies of NLUs: The reservation policies implemented by NLUs significantly impact the CLAT 2025 cutoffs. Most NLUs reserve approximately 25% of seats for domicile category candidates. Some institutions extend domicile reservations up to 50% of the total intake. Furthermore, seats are distributed according to category-wise reservations, exerting a considerable influence on the CLAT 2025 cutoffs for each category of candidates.

CLAT Marks vs Rank Analysis 2025

Understanding the correlation between CLAT 2025 marks and ranks is pivotal for candidates aiming to secure admissions at NLUs through CLAT 2025. This comparison helps candidates gauge the rank corresponding to their marks in the CLAT 2025 exam. The CLAT 2025 cutoff is typically presented as the closing rank of candidates within specific categories. An analysis of the CLAT 2025 exam indicates that achieving a score of 90+ can be regarded as a commendable performance in CLAT.

The Consortium of NLUs compiles the rank list by arranging candidates in descending order based on their CLAT exam scores. This ranking system allows for the identification of candidates with higher marks, thus determining their position in the merit list. Understanding the association between marks obtained and the resultant rank assists candidates in comprehending their relative standing among other CLAT aspirants seeking admission to NLUs.

CLAT 2025 Counselling

The CLAT 2025 Counselling Process will be started in 2nd week of December 2024. It will be organized in several rounds. Candidates can participate in the CLAT consultancy process according to their rank. It is organized in online mode. Candidates must complete their college and admission course choices. The seats will be allocated according to the rank, the category, the choices filled, and the availability of places.

Previous Years Cut Off

The Consortium of NLUs or the official CLAT website typically releases the previous year’s cutoffs. These cutoffs are usually available on their respective websites or portals. Aspirants can access and review these cutoffs to understand the trends and the admission process for various NLUs. It aids in estimating their chances of securing admission based on previous year cutoff trends.
