Candidates planning to secure admission to a National Law University (NLU) should carefully review the CLAT PG Previous Year Cut Off 2027 closing ranks to understand their admission prospects. The CLAT PG 2027 admission process for the LL.M. programme is expected to begin once the CLAT PG 2027 application form is released, tentatively in the first week of August 2026.
To help aspirants make informed choices, we have compiled the NLU-wise seat intake and previous years’ closing ranks. Although the CLAT PG counselling process is conducted in multiple rounds (generally three to four, depending on seat availability), the first provisional allotment list is often the best indicator of the rank required to secure admission to a preferred NLU. Analysing these opening-round cut-offs can help candidates set realistic score targets and make better counselling preferences.
