CLAT Cut-off 2025 – The Consortium of NLUs will release the cut-off at the time of CLAT 2025 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 2025 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 will conduct the CLAT 2025 exam on December 1, 2024. Keep reading to learn more about CLAT cut-off 2025, determining factors, and much more.

What is CLAT Cut-off?
The cut-off is the minimum rank or score a candidate needs to secure to get admission to an NLU. The cut-off will be released for each of the participating NLUs, and will be category-specific.
Further, the cut-off will be released for each seat-allotment round.
Candidates appearing in the CLAT 2025 exam are urged to refer to the previous years’ cut-off to get an idea as to what is a good score to have the best shot at admission.
Factors determining CLAT Cut-off 2025
Candidates may note that the CLAT exam pattern was changed in the previous edition (CLAT 2024). The total marks for CLAT 2024 was reduced to 120 from 150.
So, this aspect will have to be factored in when deciding the expected cut-off.
Here are key parameters that will decide CLAT 2025 Cut-off
- Total number of candidates appearing in CLAT 2025 exam
- Number of candidates who qualify CLAT 2025
- Total number of applicants
- CLAT 2025 merit rank of applicants

Here is the expected cut-off for the CLAT 2025 exam.
| Tier | Expected Cutoff of CLAT 2025 | Remarks |
| Top Tier-1 NLUs | 90-95 | The top NLUs see the highest demand and so the cut-off is expected to stay higher. |
| Tier-2 and Tier-3 NLUs | 85-90 | The cutoff marks will be a bit lower than the top NLUs. |
| New NLUs | 70-75 | The cutoff for low-ranked and new NLUs will stay on the lower side. That being said, some of these colleges may see a high demand, which can push the cut-off higher. |
