The previous year’s CLAT cut-offs are an important indicator when it comes to knowing the approximate cut-off for national law universities this year. Therefore, candidates after calculating their marks using CLAT answer key, should check where they stand when compared to the previous year’s cut-off.
The CLAT cut-off this year will depend on several factors that include:
-
Number of candidates appeared this year (around 59,000 in UG CLAT and 10,000 in CLAT LLM)
-
Number of seats offered by the universities - 2,622 in UG CLAT and around 800 seats in CLAT LLM
-
Difficulty level of CLAT 2021 - It was easy to moderate, so, the cut-off for CLAT 2021 is expected to be higher than the previous year
-
NLU preference of candidates for admission
The previous year CLAT cut-off details are given below for all participating national law universities.
