Each year, the Consortium releases round-wise opening and closing ranks during counselling.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1763788434868\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is the expected NLSIU cut off 2026 for General category (BA LLB)?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Based on past year trends, the expected General closing rank is AIR 95\u2013110. You should target 98+ marks in CLAT 2026 to stay safe.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1763788512131\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Why is the NLSIU Bangalore cut-off always the highest among all NLUs?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Because almost all high-ranking CLAT toppers keep NLSIU as their first preference, seat intake is low, and the university is ranked No. 1 in India.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1763788528755\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How many marks do I need to get into NLSIU?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">For UG, aim for 98\u2013105 marks in CLAT. For LLM, aim for a rank under AIR 200.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1763788554205\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Does NLSIU give Karnataka domicile reservation?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, for both UG and PG programs. Domicile category ranks naturally go higher because fewer students compete in that pool.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1763788566566\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Is NLSIU cut-off based on score or rank?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The actual allotment is based on rank, not marks. However, your marks determine your rank.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1763788578727\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Does the NLSIU cut-off change every round?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes. Round 1 is usually the hardest to enter. Rounds 2 and 3 may see slight movement based on student freeze\/float decisions.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1763788590936\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What was the NLSIU General category closing rank in 2025?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">It closed at AIR 112 for BA LLB.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1763788605393\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What was the NLSIU General category closing rank in 2024?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">It closed at AIR 102, making it one of the toughest years.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1763788620522\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is the expected NLSIU cut-off for OBC category?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">OBC cut-off for NLSIU UG is likely in the range of AIR 800\u20131400.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1763788677430\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Does NLSIU have separate cut-offs for BA LLB and LLM?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes. BA LLB cut-off comes from CLAT UG, while LLM cut-off comes from CLAT PG merit list.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1763788693880\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How does paper difficulty affect NLSIU cut-off?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Easy CLAT = Cut-off goes up. Tough CLAT = Cut-off settles at lower ranks.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1763788711089\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I get into NLSIU with 90 marks?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Unlikely for General category. However, it may fit into OBC \/ EWS ranges depending on the year\u2019s difficulty.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1763788727418\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can the NLSIU cut-off drop in 2026?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">It may drop slightly if the CLAT 2026 paper is tough. But historically, NLSIU cut-offs remain among the top 1% ranks every year.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-luminous-vivid-amber-background-color has-background\"><strong>Free CLAT Study
