CLAT Previous Year Cut off for Different Law Colleges FAQs
What is a CLAT cut-off?
A CLAT cut-off is the minimum rank or score required to secure admission into a particular NLU or law college. It varies each year based on factors like seat availability, exam difficulty, and applicant performance.
Do all NLUs have the same cut-off?
No, cut-offs vary by NLU. Top NLUs like NLSIU Bangalore and NALSAR Hyderabad have the highest cut-offs, while newer or less preferred NLUs have relatively lower cut-offs.
Are cut-offs different for different categories (General, SC, ST, etc.)?
Yes, CLAT cut-offs differ across reservation categories. General category students usually face higher cut-offs than SC/ST/OBC/PwD candidates.
How do I find the previous years cut-offs for specific NLUs?
You can check official CLAT websites, NLU admission portals, and trusted educational platforms that publish yearly opening and closing ranks for each law college.
Does the cut-off depend on marks or rank?
Both marks and ranks of candidates are important. While marks indicate your raw score, admissions are based on all-India ranks, which are determined by your marks relative to other candidates.
