Factors Influencing CLAT 2025 Cutoffs
The following factors influence the CLAT cutoff 2025.
- Exam difficulty: A tougher CLAT paper leads to lower cutoffs, while an easier exam results in higher cutoffs.
- Number of applicants: More candidates increase competition, often raising the cutoff scores.
- Seat availability: Fewer seats in NLUs can increase the cutoff scores higher due to increased competition for limited spots.
- Candidates’ performance: Higher overall performance among aspirants can result in higher cutoffs, and vice versa.
- Reservation policies: Category-based reservations (General, OBC, SC, ST, EWS, etc.) and the number of reserved seats directly impact cutoffs for each group.
CLAT 2025 Counselling
The CLAT 2025 counselling process is currently underway, with registration having taken place from May 17 to May 21, 2025. The counselling schedule was revised due to challenges to the CLAT results, resulting in the first merit list being published on May 26, 2025. The Consortium of NLUs has limited the process to three rounds of counselling for 2025, compared to five rounds in previous years. Candidates must log in to their CLAT account, pay the counselling fee, and update their NLU preferences during the registration window to participate in seat allotment.
