Hello,

Yes! Except NLU Delhi which conducts its own exam AILET and HPNLU has its own exam .

CLAT 2019 Eligibility:


To be eligible for CLAT, the students must have secured:


(A) Forty five percent (45%) marks in Qualifying Exam (Class XII examination) in case of students belonging to Unreserved /OBC /Specially Abled Persons (SAP) and other categories.


(B) Forty Percent (40%) marks in case of students belonging to SC/ST categories.


Students who are appearing in the qualifying examination in March/April 2019 are also eligible for appearing in CLAT-2019 Offline examination. However, they shall be required to produce an evidence of their passing the qualifying examination at the time of admission, otherwise  they shall lose their right to be considered for admission.


The result of qualifying examination (i.e., 10+2) shall be submitted by the candidate at the time of admission failing which the candidate shall be ineligible for admission to the Course


CLAT 2019 will be held from 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM on 12th May 2019.

 To check the prospecting cut offs for 2019 , you can go and check the link:https://law.careers360.com/articles/clat-cutoff.


The cut off every year changes and it helps you decide which National Law University you are eligible to get into.

There are 17 National Law universities in India and One National Law University Delhi whcih takes admission Through AILET (All India Law Entrance Test ).


If say,  I sit for CLAT this year and the admissions for NLS, Bangalore close at 145. So if I score well within that range, I get the college. As rightly pointed out in other answers, it is affected by your rank and percentile.


If you want to get into any NLU in the country your rank should be within 1000 or so. If you wish to get into one of the top 3 colleges in the country it should be within 200 or so. All this is for a general category seat.


On particular achieving marks, one earns eligibility to clear the cutoffs of Law colleges across country. 


Hope the information shall stand useful, 


All the best!


Thank You!
