Category-wise expected cutoff (indicative)
| Category | Expected Cutoff (Indicative) |
|---|---|
| General | 105–120 / 150 (70–80%) |
| EWS | 100–112 / 150 (67–75%) |
| OBC | 90–105 / 150 (60–70%) |
| SC | 75–90 / 150 (50–60%) |
| ST | 70–85 / 150 (47–57%) |
| PwD | 65–80 / 150 (43–53%) |
- The General-to-OBC gap typically ranges 10–15 percentage points, with SC/ST cutoffs falling another 10–20 points lower. Top-tier Government Law Colleges (GLC Mumbai, ILS Pune) demand scores in the 75–80%+ range even for reserved categories.
- Year-to-year shifts depend on paper difficulty, seat matrix changes, and applicant pool strength. A moderately difficult paper can depress cutoffs by 3–5%, while easier papers push them upward similarly.
- Five-year LL.B. programs generally see marginally higher cutoffs than three-year programs at equivalent colleges due to higher demand from Class 12 students and longer degree duration appeal.
