Commonly asked questions
Q:   Can I get GLC with 96 percentile in MHCET Law?
A: 

Getting admission in Government Law College (GLC) Mumbai with 96 percentile in MHCET Law is possible but depends on the year's cut off. Usually, GLC cut off stays very high, often above 98 percentile for open category. Still, 96 percentile has fair chance in reserved or outside Maharashtra categories.

Q:   What is the cut off for Maharashtra law University?
A: 

For MNLU Mumbai (CLAT), you usually need to be in the top 500–600 ranks, which is around 90–95+ marks out of 120 for General All India candidates. The closing rank often goes near 1473 by the third round. In MH CET Law, getting around 115–120+ marks is mostly safe if you're aiming for top law colleges in Maharashtra. The cutoff marks can change depending on your category and which MNLU campus you choose — Mumbai, Nagpur, or Aurangabad.

Q:   What is the cut off for New Law College Mumbai?
A: 

Modern Education Society's New Law College (NLC), Mumbai takes admission for the 3-year LLB course through the Maharashtra Law Common Entrance Test (MH CET Law). If you're from the general category, getting around 115+ marks gives you a strong chance of getting in. Even with 100+ marks, you still have a fair shot at admission depending on the cutoff that year.

Q:   Which colleges do I have a chance to get with a valid MHCET Law score? My rank is 1748.
A: 

With a rank of 1748 in the MH CET Law 3-year LLB exam, you stand a good chance of getting admission to several  law colleges across Maharashtra.

General Knowledge (GK) is often said to be the hardest part of the MH CET Law exam because it's wide, changing, and not easy to predict. Current affairs are usually simpler to handle, but the static GK part that includes history, geography, and legal topics becomes tough for many students.
