LFAT 2026 Cut Offs

LFAT Cut Offs 2026 

The LFAT 2026 (Law Faculty Admission Test) cut offs are vital benchmarks that determine the minimum marks or ranks a candidate must achieve to be eligible for admission to the integrated BA LLB (Hons.) program at Allahabad University. Released after the LFAT result, these cut offs vary by category, counselling round, and seat availability, shaping the merit list for admissions.

Understanding LFAT 2026 Cut Offs

LFAT cut offs represent the minimum qualifying marks required to proceed to counselling and seat allotment stages. They fluctuate annually based on several factors

  • Number of applicants and their performance
  • Difficulty level of the LFAT exam
  • Total number of seats available in the Law Faculty
  • Reservation policies for different categories (General, OBC, SC, ST, EWS)
  • Number of qualifying candidates and previous trends

Typical Cut Offs Trends

Recent years indicate that the LFAT general category cut off marks hover around 180–185 out of a probable total (scores normalized differently in past years). Reserved categories such as SC, ST, and OBC have comparatively lower cut offs, aligning with reservation norms.

LFAT cut offs are announced separately for each round of counselling, and subsequent rounds generally feature lower cut offs due to seat vacancies.
