Expected Cut-off Insights

Seat Allocation Criteria: NLUs allocate seats based on candidate preferences. Lack of a preference for a specific NLU might exclude a candidate from its admission, even if they surpass its cut-off.
-
Merit and Preference: Admission hinges on a combination of merit and choice. Historically, top-rankers gravitate towards premier NLUs like NLSIU Bengaluru and NALSAR Hyderabad, making marks and ranks pivotal for securing admissions.
Seat Distribution and Reservations
-
NLUs collectively offer over 4,000 seats for the 5-year LLB course and approximately 1,300 seats for LLM, thereby providing significant opportunities for legal aspirants.
-
Domicile and Category Reservations: NLUs typically reserve 25% to 50% of seats for domicile category candidates, along with category-based reservations. These factors significantly impact the CLAT cut-off scores for diverse categories in 2024.
