A CLAT score of 50 to 70 will result in a big gap between the ranks at the top and bottom end of the range. 50-70 marks are usually not considered a good score in CLAT. The past CLAT cut-off trends show that reserved candidates from SC and ST categories have a good chance of admission into tier 2 and 3 NLUs with a score of 70. General candidates may have to look at other alternatives to NLUs to pursue a law programme. In this article, find out which are the top NLUs for admission for CLAT marks 50 to 70.
Through the Common Law Admission Test, candidates will be admitted into 5-year LLB programmes of participating NLUs. Over 60+ private colleges also participate in the exam.
The table below provides the expected rank for 50 to 70 marks in CLAT as per the CLAT marks vs rank analysis. At this mark range, even a difference of 1-2 marks can cause a shift of 1000 ranks or more. Overall, the rank for 50 to 70 marks will be between 11500 to 28000.
Marks | Approximate Rank |
50 | 28000 to 29000 |
55 | 23800 to 24700 |
60 | 19600 to 20600 |
65 | 14600 to 15500 |
