The Consortium of National Law Universities (NLUs) will make the CLAT 2024 cut-off available for counselling and seat assignments. CLAT cut-off 2024 is the lowest score or rank needed to be admitted to a certain national law university. The deadline for each counselling round will be announced separately for CLAT 2024. The date of CLAT 2024 exam is December 03, 2023. The Common Law Admission Test is anticipated to draw around 60,000 applicants for admission to 5-year LLB and LLM programs.
Each participating NLU would have a distinct CLAT 2024 cut-off. Students typically favour NLUs with higher rankings over those with lower rankings. Consequently, greater CLAT cut-offs are reached for these NLUs. The CLAT 2024 cut-offs will also be determined by several additional variables, including category, seat availability, and candidate rank and scores on the merit list. Read the entire article to learn about past cut-off trends and the anticipated CLAT cut-off in 2024.
Significant variables influencing the CLAT 2024 cut-offs
The CLAT 2024 cut-off is subject to alter annually due to a multitude of variables. The following significant variables will impact the CLAT 2024 cut-off:
-
Candidates' preferences for NLUs: Seats in NLUs will be distributed based on the candidates' choices for admission. Even if they meet the cut-off for a particular NLU, those who have not indicated their choice for admission will not be taken into account for that NLU's admission list.
-
Candidates' marks and ranks: Admission is granted to candidates based on a combination of merit and preference. Thus, the candidate's prospects of being admitted will be determined by the marks he or she receives.
-
The number of seats that the NLUs offer is approximately 1,100 seats for LLM and more than 3,000 seats for 5-year LLB.
-
The majority of NLUs reserve about 25% of their seats for candidates who fall under the domicile category. On the other hand, up to 50% of the overall inflow may be reserved for residence by some NLUs. Additional seats are allocated to different categories. As a result, the candidate's category and the NLUs' reserve policy will also affect the CLAT cut-off.
CLAT 2024 Cut-Off under new pattern
The CLAT exam pattern 2024 has changed this year, therefore the NLU cut-off marks will probably differ significantly from last year's. The overall score is 120 for CLAT 2024 down from 150 in previous years. This could result in a decrease in the overall CLAT cut-off scores. For example, the minimum score required for admission to NLSIU Bengaluru is probably going to be far lower than 100, whereas formerly, an applicant would have needed between 110–120 points.
The following crucial information relates to the CLAT 2024 cut-off:
-
Test takers must receive a score in the range of 78 to 90 on the CLAT 2024 to get admitted into one of the top 5 NLUs.
-
Applicants must receive a score in the 85–90 range on the CLAT 2024 to be admitted to NLSIU Bangalore.
-
It is anticipated that the NALSAR Hyderabad cut-off will be between 82 and 85 points, hence to be admitted, applicants must score in this range on the CLAT in 2024.
-
80–84 marks are the anticipated cut-off for WBNUJS Kolkata.
-
Applicants must receive a score in the range of 78–82 on the CLAT 2024 to get admitted to NLU Jodhpur.
-
Candidates must score in the 80–90 range to get admitted to one of the top 5 NLUs.
CLAT Cut Off 2024 Expected
Experts predict that the highest NLU cut-offs for CLAT 2024 will fall between 80 and 90 marks. Applicants must receive a score higher than 85 to be admitted to NLSIU Bengaluru. NALSAR Hyderabad's anticipated cut-off score is between 82 and 85 points. The anticipated CLAT 2024 cut-off for the highest NLUs is provided below:

What is a good CLAT 2024 score?
Students may be wondering what constitutes a decent mark on the CLAT exam given the recent modifications to the CLAT exam pattern 2024. Since it is evident that the overall score has decreased, CLAT 2024's good score will likewise decline. Candidates must score between 80 and 90 points to be admitted into one of the top 5 NLUs. Candidates should be aware that this will not impact the CLAT cut-off rank, though.
