Factors Determining CLAT Cutoff 2022

There are some factors that determine the CLAT cutoff score for all the National Law Universities. Take a look at the different factors affecting the CLAT cutoff 2022:

The CLAT cutoff is influenced by the volume of applications received as well. The competition will be more difficult if there are more applicants, and it will often be easier if there are fewer applicants that year.
The CLAT cutoff is also affected by exam difficulty. There are considerable odds of gaining a seat in the desired NLU if the CLAT exam level is challenging in a certain year.
Because of the greater competition, the number of candidates who prefer a particular NLU will result in a higher cut-off range and it will be harder for them to secure a seat there.
The NLU cut-off for admission to these universities is often higher due to the popularity of the top 5 NLUs, which are typically selected by top candidates.
