CLAT Cut Off Marks 2025

In CLAT Exam 2025, the question paper pattern is changed as the number of questions is reduced when compared to the previous years. So, the CLAT cut off is expected to be high. The CLAT cut-off 2021 will be published separately for all CLAT participating institutes and it varies from each other based on various parameters.

CLAT counselling will be conducted in 3 rounds. If the candidate scores below the cutoff rank in I or II rounds can participate in subsequent rounds of counselling. But if the candidate could not qualify in the last round, then he/she will not get any more chances. Check CLAT fee structure details.
