CLAT Cut-off 2025 – The unofficial cut-off of CLAT 2026 released by various coaching and education institutes is now OUT.
The Consortium of NLUs will release the (official) admission cut-off at the time of CLAT 2026 counseling. The cut-off will be available for each round of CLAT 2025 counseling-cum-seat allotment.
The cut-off would be available in the form of a PDF.
You can download the cut-off pdf simply by clicking on it. No log-in is required.
The CLAT 2026 cut-off for a specific round will indicate the minimum marks a candidate needs to secure to get admission to their chosen program and NLU.
If a candidate fails to meet the cut-off in an earlier round, he or she may be considered for admission in subsequent rounds. However, if the candidate fails the cut-off for the last round of allotment, then chances of admission are almost nil.
The consortium conducted the CLAT 2026 exam on November 30, 2025. Keep reading to learn more about CLAT cut-off 2026, determining factors, and much more.
