LSAT India Cut-Off: Scores, Percentiles and Score Validity
LSAT India did not have a cut-off in the usual sense. There was no pass mark, no category-wise national cut-off list and no merit list published by the Law School Admission Council (LSAC) or Pearson VUE. Candidates received a scaled score and a percentile rank, and each participating law school decided what score it expected for admission.
As of 21 October 2026, LSAT India is discontinued and no cycle is scheduled, so no new cut-off will be released. This page explains how scores and percentiles worked, what is and is not known about past college expectations, how to check whether an older score is still accepted, and how to set a score target for the exam you will take instead.
How LSAT India Scoring Worked
Item | What it meant (last cycle, as reported) |
|---|---|
Scaled score | A score between 420 and 480 converted from your raw score |
Percentile rank | Your standing relative to other test takers |
Pass mark | None; the exam was not pass or fail |
National cut-off | None published by LSAC |
Admission threshold | Set by each college and often combined with Class 12 or graduation marks |
Details are tentative and based on reports of the 2024 cycle. LSAT India scores were sent to the colleges you chose, and the college then applied its own admission process.
Previous Cut-Off: What Is Known
No official, college-wise LSAT India cut-off list is available from LSAC, and this page does not publish one. Third-party tables that show an LSAT India cut-off score or percentile for named colleges are not official, change from source to source, and should not be used for decisions. If a college published its own threshold in a prospectus, that document is the only reliable source.
Because no data is published, there is also no verified trend to report. Any claim that a cut-off rose or fell across years should be treated as unconfirmed.
What Affected College Expectations
Number of applicants: More applicants for the same seats pushed expectations up.
Seat availability: Programmes with fewer seats tended to be more selective.
Other criteria: Class 12 or graduation marks, interviews and category rules were often considered with the score.
Test difficulty and percentile: Percentile ranks moved with the performance of the group that took each session.
Is My Old LSAT India Score Still Valid?
The archived FAQ was reported to state that LSAT India scores from 2019 onwards were valid for five years, which would place a 2024 score inside that window on paper. Whether a college accepts it is the college's call. LSAC and Pearson VUE were also reported not to issue copies of old scorecards, so the file you downloaded is your only record. For the status of the exam, see the LSAC website.

Write to the admissions office and ask if it accepts LSAT India scores for the current intake.
Keep a backup exam plan in case the answer is no.
How to Set Your Target for Another Law Exam
Cut-offs change every year with difficulty, vacancies and the number of applicants. Treat last year's figures for any exam as a benchmark only, and aim for a clear margin above them rather than a bare pass. The steps below work for CLAT or any college test.
Find the official cut-off or last cycle rank list from the conducting body or the college prospectus.
Check sectional rules: Some exams have no sectional cut-off, but you should still aim for balanced accuracy.
Benchmark with mocks: Take timed tests regularly and track overall score, accuracy and attempts. Raise your target above the level you need in the real exam.
