| The university releases the cut-off prior to the exam. | The admission cut-off for the NLU will be announced at the time of the counselling process. |
| Candidates who do not achieve a rank above the cut-off will not be included in the merit list. | Those who do not score marks as per the admission cut-off may get admission in the mop-up round (if seats are available) |
