Previous Year CLAT Cut-Off Trends (2015–2025) Explained

For admission to nationwide Law Universities (NLUs), the CLAT is a nationwide entrance test. The CLAT cutoff, which varies per NLU, candidate category (such as General, OBC, SC/ST), and exam difficulty, is the lowest rank or score needed to guarantee a seat in a particular NLU. The most important component in the counseling process is a candidate's rank, and the cutoffs are set following the results.

As a result, we have included the CLAT cut-off trends from the prior year in the table that is described below. Candidates who are interested can review the information, learn about the competition, and get a sense of the deadlines for the next CLAT test.
