BA LLB vs LLB Closing Marks Comparison 2026
BA LLB closing marks are approximately 30–40 marks higher than LLB in the same category and round, because BA LLB has only 150 seats against 975 for LLB — making competition per available seat far stiffer. The table below shows the expected marks gap for 2026 in Round 1 across all categories.
| Category | BA LLB Expected (Round 1) | LLB Expected (Round 1) | Marks Gap (Approx.) |
|---|---|---|---|
| General (UR) | 200–215 | 165–175 | ~35–40 marks |
| OBC | 180–195 | 145–158 | ~35–37 marks |
| SC | 150–165 | 120–135 | ~30 marks |
| ST | 130–145 | 100–118 | ~27–30 marks |
| EWS | 188–200 | 155–165 | ~33–35 marks |
Practical guide: If you scored 200+ (General), you are well-placed for both programs. A score between 165 and 200 (General) typically secures LLB but may fall short for BA LLB in Round 1 — monitor Round 2 closely for seats that open up from unconfirmed Round 1 allotments.
Previous Year AU LAT Cutoff Trends (2023–2025)
Year-on-year data shows General category closing marks for LLB (Round 1) declining gradually from around 180 in 2023 to approximately 172 in 2025, suggesting a marginal easing of competition at the top score bands. BA LLB has tracked a similar downward trend over the same period.
| Year | BA LLB — General Closing Marks (Round 1) | LLB — General Closing Marks (Round 1) |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | ~220 | ~180 |
| 2024 | ~215 | ~175 |
| 2025 | ~210 | ~172 |
| 2026 (Expected) | 200–215 | 165–175 |

Factors Affecting AU LAT 2026 Cutoff
Closing marks for each round shift based on several variables specific to the 2026 cycle. Understanding these helps you decide whether to secure a seat in Round 1 or wait for Round 2.
- Total applicants: A larger applicant pool competing for the same seats pushes closing marks upward for all categories.
- Exam difficulty: A tougher paper lowers scores across the board, which can ease the closing mark threshold compared to the previous year.
- Seat intake changes: Any revision to BA LLB or LLB seat counts at affiliated colleges will directly move closing marks up or down.
- Category-wise reservation: UP government norms (OBC 27%, SC 21%, ST 2%, EWS 10%) determine separate seat pools with their own closing marks in each round.
- Round-wise seat releases: Seats unconfirmed in Round 1 are re-opened in Round 2, typically easing General category closing marks by 5–12 marks per round.
AU LAT 2026 Cutoff FAQs
Ques. What is the expected AU LAT 2026 cutoff for BA LLB General category?
Ans. Based on 2023–2025 merit list trends, the expected AU LAT 2026 closing marks for BA LLB (General, Round 1) are approximately 200–215 out of 300. This is an estimate and will be confirmed once the official 2026 merit list is published at allduniv.ac.in.
Ques. Why is the LLB cutoff lower than BA LLB in AU LAT?
Ans. LLB (3-year) has 975 total seats across three colleges versus only 150 seats for BA LLB (5-year). Greater seat availability means lower competition per seat, resulting in closing marks that are approximately 30–40 marks lower than BA LLB in the same category and round.
Ques. Out of how many marks is the AU LAT 2026 cutoff calculated?
Ans. AU LAT 2026 is conducted for 300 marks (150 MCQs x 2 marks each, no negative marking). All cutoff closing marks for both BA LLB and LLB are expressed as a score out of this 300-mark total.
Ques. Where can I check the official AU LAT 2026 cutoff?
Ans. The official AU LAT 2026 cutoff and merit list are published on the University of Allahabad website at allduniv.ac.in and on the counselling portal ecounselling.in after the result is declared. Check these portals from the last week of June 2026 onwards.
Ques. Does the AU LAT cutoff ease in Round 2?
Ans. Yes. Closing marks typically ease by 5–12 marks in Round 2 as seats unconfirmed in Round 1 are re-released for allocation. Students who narrowly miss the Round 1 cutoff should stay registered and participate in Round 2 counselling for improved chances of admission.
Ques. What are the minimum qualifying marks in AU LAT 2026?
Ans. Minimum qualifying marks in AU LAT 2026 are 30 for General and 27 for OBC. SC and ST students have no minimum qualifying mark requirement. Crossing the qualifying threshold alone does not guarantee a seat — the actual closing marks at the time of admission are significantly higher and depend on total merit and seat availability.
