Hello aspirant,

You are not limited in how many times you can take the CLAT exam. To take the test, though, you must meet the eligibility requirements. All applicants who wish to take the CLAT must fulfill the requirements set forth by the Consortium of National Law Universities.

So if you fulfill this eligibility criteria then you can appear for CLAT exam, even if you are studying in NLU.

Thank you

Hello,

CLAT scores and NLUs rank cut-offs may differ every year as this varies with the number of applications, level of competition, and reservation policy-wise cuts.

With a general category score of 85 in CLAT 2025, you may find it difficult to get into the top NLUs like NLSIU Bangalore, NALSAR Hyderabad, or NLUD Delhi. But you could have chances in newer NLUs or NLUs with higher cut-offs. Here are some options to consider:

Possible NLUs for a Score of 85:

• NLU Assam
• MNLU Aurangabad or Nagpur
• DSNLU Vizag
• HPNLU Shimla

To get an accurate picture, use a CLAT rank predictor or college predictor tool available  to get your admission possibilities analyzed by using these tools based upon previous trends.

Hello Saurabh,

With around 35 marks in CLAT PG 2024-25, your chances of securing a seat at NLUs depend on your category and cutoffs. For general category, this score may fall short for most NLUs, but reserved category candidates might have a chance in Tier 2 or 3 NLUs like HNLU Raipur or NLU Assam, especially in later counseling rounds. Stay active during counseling and consider private law schools or other universities as backups if required.

I would recommend you to use CLAT college predictor tool by Careers360 to get the list of possible colleges you can get with your rank.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.

It is important to check the official cutoff for the particular NLU you are interested as the cutoffs may vary annually based on factors like the number of applicants , exam difficulty and seat availability .
