What should I do if I find any discrepancies in my NLSAT admit card?

The National Law School Admission Test (NLSAT) cutoff refers to the minimum score or rank that candidates must achieve to be considered for admission to the National Law School of India University (NLSIU), Bengaluru. The cutoff varies annually based on several factors, including the number of applicants, the difficulty level of the exam, and the availability of seats.

Expected NLSAT 2026 Cutoff:

While the exact cutoff for NLSAT 2026 will be determined after the examination, based on previous trends and available data, the expected cutoffs are as follows:

• General Category: Candidates typically need to score around 65-70% of the total marks to be in the 85th to 90th percentile. 
• Factors Influencing NLSAT Cutoff:

Several factors influence the determination of the NLSAT cutoff each year:

Number of Applicants: A higher number of applicants can lead to increased competition, potentially raising the cutoff.

Exam Difficulty: If the exam is deemed more challenging in a particular year, the cutoff may be adjusted accordingly.

Seat Availability: The total number of seats available for the LLB programme at NLSIU directly impacts the cutoff; more seats might result in a lower cutoff and vice versa.

Overall Performance: The general performance level of all candidates can influence the cutoff; higher average scores might lead to a higher cutoff.

Candidates are advised to aim for high scores to enhance their chances of securing admission, as meeting the cutoff does not guarantee admission but rather eligibility for consideration.

The National Law School Admission Test (NLSAT) does not have a fixed pass percentage. Instead, candidates must achieve specific percentile thresholds to qualify for admission:

• General and EWS Categories: Candidates must score above the 75th percentile in both Part A and Part B of the NLSAT, as well as in the aggregate score of both parts. 
• SC/ST/OBC-NCL/PWD Categories: Candidates must score above the 50th percentile in both Part A and Part B, and in the aggregate score of both parts. 

These percentile-based criteria ensure that candidates are evaluated relative to the performance of all test-takers, maintaining a competitive selection process.
