What should be the score in the mock test for getting into NLSIU Bangalore for the CLAT 2022?

Aakash RanadeStudied at National Law School of India University,Bangalore (2020)

Over the years, the cut-off varies a great deal between 115 to 160. It depends on the difficulty level of the paper set. Moreover, your focus should be on the rank rather than the score.

You should be able to obtain a higher rank than others in order to secure admission to the top 3 law schools. The cut-off for CLAT (2015) was 125 whereas for CLAT (2020) was 153. Start working in the right direction and you shall achieve it. Try scoring a 140+, as it will keep you on the safer side.

Can I crack the CLAT 2022 if my LST mock scores are approximately 50? I am improving them but as there is only 4 months left, can I make it to NLSIU?

Varsha DixitBA.LLB from National Law University ,Odisha (2021)

It may not be the amount of time left that would be sufficient to crack the CLAT exam, but the utilization of the time left will surely give an edge over other things.

There are various people who have cleared the CLAT examination with just one month of preparation and there are also few people who have taken more than 2 years.

So, in 4 months’ time, one can make out a proper strategy for themselves, prepare a well-structured timetable and stick with it. Give more time to your weak areas and master your strengths. You should prepare and give mocks hand to hand.

It would be advised to give as many as possible. Also, make sure to analyze the mock results. You should accordingly make changes to your studying strategy.

The key to success is hard work. It may do wonders, therefore it is advisable to utilize your time well and keep pushing for a little more hard and smart work.

What should be the expected CLAT cutoff for the NLSIU 2021? Are there any guesses from previous years papers?

Meenakshi ZamindarB.A. LL.B (Hons) from Maharashtra National Law University Mumbai (Expected 2022)

CLAT cutoff for the NLSIU basically depends on various factors, one of which is the difficulty level of the paper. Yet, for being on the safe side, you should expect nothing less than 155+ in case the paper is easy and no less than 140+ in case the paper is difficult.

The recent cutoff trend for CLAT is:

Categories	Cut off
General	1-54
AI SAP	363-1892
AI SC	69-1857

However, you should not go by the expected score to get into NLSIU. Work hard no matter whatever the difficulty level of the paper is.

How many marks should I get in the CLAT for getting an admission into Nalsar and NLSIU?

Ashwin JoshiB.A.LLB (Hons.) from National Law School of India University, Bangalore (2018)

The marks required for getting admission change every year as the level of difficulty also changes each year.

According to some of my friends studying there, CLAT sets a tough paper one year and an easy paper the next year and vice versa. However, this should not be taken for granted.

If the paper is tough, then a score of 120-135 is enough to get admission to both colleges.
If the paper is easy then you need to score around 170-185 for securing the admission.
Basically, you need to be in the top 120 students of the CLAT test takers to secure admission and what is the actual score will depend on the level of difficulty of the paper.

Do not think of a particular score while attempting CLAT as this will hamper your chances. You should aim to give your best and attempt any number of questions you think are possible on your part.

Can I crack CLAT (Common Law Admission Test) and get into NLSIU or NALSAR after taking Science in 12th?

Sarthak MehrotraStudied at National Law School of India University, Bangalore (2020)

If you want to appear for CLAT, it does not matter what stream you were following in your higher secondary years. CLAT does not check your knowledge about a particular stream but it tests your aptitudes.

If you work hard then you will definitely be able to get the admission nod from NLSIU or NALSAR.
Since you are in your 10(+2), manage your time carefully between preparing for your board exams and preparing for CLAT.
You must have a strong foundation in general knowledge, legal aptitude, English, mathematics or quantitative aptitude, and logical reasoning if you want to appear for the CLAT.

The exams tend to be very competitive and they are not as easy as they look. Try to take mock exams and solve the questions of the previous years to get acquainted with the pattern in which the exams are held.
