How CLAT and NLUs Are Becoming Preferences for CBSE Students?

A significant shift is seen as CBSE students increasingly prioritise CLAT and National Law Universities (NLUs) for their higher education pathways. Based on recent data, CBSE candidates have over six times higher representation than those from other boards. Out of 28,135 CBSE students who appeared for CLAT 2025, 12,827 were shortlisted for counselling. This trend highlights not only the growing popularity of legal education among CBSE graduates but also their notable success and preference for top NLUs across India.

Participation of CBSE Students in CLAT 2024

A total of 12,827 students participated in CLAT 2024 counselling, out of which 12,827 students belonged to the CBSE schools. It constituted about 58% of all participants. This data stands out against the 9,390 students from all other boards combined, highlighting the higher success rate of CBSE candidates. This trend showed the rising popularity of legal education among CBSE students and their inclination towards CLAT and NLUs. The following table gives a breakdown of the participation of CBSE students in CLAT 2024. 

CBSE Students vs Other Students: Success Rate

The success rate of CBSE students in CLAT exams stands out when compared to other board students. Out of 28,135 CBSE students who appeared for the exam, 12,827 were shortlisted for counselling, resulting in a success rate of 46%. In contrast, only 8% of students from other boards achieved the same, with 9,390 out of 121,865 candidates making it to the invite list. The data highlights that CBSE students prefer CLAT and NLUs to pursue their higher studies compared to other boards. This inclination can be due to the academic curriculum of CBSE schools, which, to some extent, aligns with the CLAT and NLUs exam pattern. Here is the success rate of CBSE students in CLAT compared to other boards. 

When Will CLAT 2025 Revised Result Be Declared?

The CLAT 2025 revised result is expected to be declared soon after the Supreme Court’s directive to correct errors in the initial merit list and answer keys. The Consortium of NLUs will release the updated scorecards and merit list on the official website, along with the revised counselling schedule.
