On Question asked by student community
Hello,
NUJS is among the top tier law colleges in the country. A high score in CLAT is required to get into NUJS. For you, getting into NUJS is possible but challenging. The cut off for general category often is very high (+90), but you WB domicile improves your chances for admission. Keep an eye on the final rank list and cut off.
Thank you.
Hello
With a score of 91.5 in CLAT UG 2026, your expected All India Rank would likely fall somewhere around AIR 500 to 1,000, based on previous years’ trends. The exact rank can shift depending on how tough the paper was and how other students performed. Since you belong to the OBC category, your category rank will be even better. This score definitely keeps you in a competitive range for several NLUs.
Hello,
CLAT or Common Law Admission Test is conducted for admission to top tier law colleges in India. The exam is conducted by Consortium of National Law Universities. While NLU's are generally not available for admission at this rank but there are many private colleges which offer good legal education and placements. JINDAL, UPES, Amity Law School, Lovely Professional University, IFIM Law School, Alliance University and many more. For more information you can check out the official website of Careers360.

Thank you.
If you are expecting around 80 marks in CLAT 2026, your chances will mainly depend on that year’s overall difficulty level and how the marks translate into ranks. In most years, a score around 80 usually places candidates somewhere in the mid-rank range, which means that the top NLUs like NLSIU Bengaluru, NALSAR Hyderabad or WBNUJS Kolkata are generally difficult to get at this score. However, some of the newer or mid-tier NLUs may still be possible depending on cut-offs, reservation category, and seat availability during later rounds. Students with similar scores in past years have sometimes received calls from NLUs such as NLU Jabalpur, NLU Assam, NLU Tripura, NLU Aurangabad, or NLU Shimla, but the exact possibilities shift every year. Treat this score as competitive but not in the top bracket, and wait for the official ranks to get a clearer picture of which options are realistically open. All the best!
Hello aspirant,
With 64.5 marks in CLAT 2026 and EWS+UP domicile, getting a top NLU may be difficult because EWS cutoffs are usually high. However, you may still have chances in the newer or mid-tier NLUs, depending on this year's overall scoring trend. NLUs like NLU Tripura, NLU Shimla or NLU Jabalpur sometimes open seats for EWS candidates at lower scores. It's best to wait for the official ranks and counselling lists, as seats shift during later rounds.
