Your CBSE Class 12th percentage (75%) meets the CLAT eligibility criteria, as the minimum requirement for General/OBC/EWS candidates is 45% (40% for SC/ST). However, NLU admission is based solely on your CLAT rank, not your 12th percentage.
Can You Get an NLU with a 75 CLAT Cut-off?
- A CLAT score of 75 corresponds to an approximate rank of 3000-4000.
- Top NLUs like NLSIU, NALSAR, and WBNUJS may be out of reach.
- Mid-ranked NLUs like NLUO, HNLU, and RMLNLU may be possible in later rounds.
- Lower-ranked NLUs like DSNLU, TNNLU, or MNLU Nagpur could be available.

The CLAT marks vs rank analysis helps candidates estimate their rank based on their score. A 110+ score typically secures a top 50 rank, while 100-110 marks place candidates within 51-200 ranks. A 90-95 score corresponds to 501-1000 ranks, and 80-85 marks result in 2001-3000 ranks. Admission to top NLUs like NLSIU Bengaluru usually requires a rank under 500. Mid-tier NLUs accept ranks up to 4000, while lower NLUs may admit candidates beyond 5000 ranks. Cut-offs vary yearly based on difficulty level, applicants, and seat availability. Higher scores ensure better NLU choices.

Yes, the CLAT cut-off varies category-wise for different National Law Universities (NLUs), including NLSIU Bengaluru. The variation is based on reservation policies set by the Consortium of NLUs and individual universities.
Factors Affecting CLAT Cutoff by Category
- General (UR) – Typically has the highest cut-off due to intense competition.
- Other Backward Classes (OBC) – Lower than General but still competitive in NLUs offering OBC reservation.
- Scheduled Castes (SC) – Cut-off is lower than UR and OBC due to reservation benefits.
- Scheduled Tribes (ST) – Generally the lowest cut-off among reserved categories.
- Economically Weaker Sectio

The CLAT 2025 cutoff will be released after the result declaration and the completion of counseling rounds. The Consortium of NLUs (CNLU) will announce the category-wise and college-wise cutoff marks for each round of counseling.
The cutoff depends on factors like exam difficulty level, the number of candidates, seat availability, and past trends. Typically, the first-round cutoff is released within a few days of the counseling process.
Candidates can check the CLAT cutoff on the official website – consortiumofnlus.ac.in once it's officially published.
