CLAT 2025 : 6 Answered Questions

Ques. Why is NLU Delhi not a part of CLAT?

There are 27 NLUs in India at present. Some of the top NLUs are- National Law University Delhi (NLU Delhi), NLSIU Bangalore, NALSAR Hyderabad and GNLU Gandhinagar. NLU Delhi does not consider CLAT results for admissions. It conducts its own All India Law Entrance Test (AILET). 25 NLUs offer admissions based on CLAT results. NLU Meghalaya also does not conduct its admissions based on CLAT. Furthermore, NLU Delhi is not a part of the Consortium of NLUs.  Dr. Ranbir Singh, the founder of NLU Delhi, gave out a reason in 2012, stating that one of the reasons was that NLU Delhi would be CLAT's 13th Law School. Consequently, it would be the 13th pick when students filled out their choices. There are some financial and administrative concerns as well that have kept NLU Delhi from accepting CLAT results for admissions. ...Read More

Ques. What is considered a good rank in CLAT exam?

For admission into one of the top 10 NLUs, a general candidate must score 80-90 marks in CLAT. The cut-offs for Tier-2 and Tier-3 NLUs are lower. When taking into account past years’ cut-offs in terms of rank, the gap in the cut-offs of top 5-6 NLUs is not as great as it first appears. Here are the CLAT 2024 Cutoff Ranks for UG admissions at some of the top NLUs (Fourth Allotment List): NLU Name NIRF Law Ranking (2024) Opening and Closing Ranks 2024    (4th Allotment, General Category) NLSIU Bangalore 1 1-102 Nalsar University of Law, Hyderabad 3  4-167 NUJS Kolkata 4  140-279 (BA LLB) GNLU Gandhinagar 8 8-464 NLU Lucknow 20 357-764 I hope this will give you an idea of the rank required in CLAT UG for admissions into some of the top NLUs....Read More
