Factors Affecting CLAT Cut-Offs
- Candidates’ Preference: NLUs are allocated based on aspirants’ preference lists and ranks.
- CLAT Marks vs Ranks Distribution: High-scoring candidates target premier NLUs, increasing their cut-offs. NLUs with lower demand have more relaxed cut-offs.
- Seat Availability & Category-Based Reservation: Reserved seats, state domicile policies, and total seat matrix influence closing ranks.
NLUs with lower CLAT cut-offs give law aspirants greater admission opportunities, helping candidates secure legal education without necessarily needing top ranks. Aspirants should tailor their preparation and counselling strategies based on these trends to maximize admission chances.
