A CLAT 2025 score in the range of 65 to 85 marks can get a candidate a seat in the top National Law Universities such as NLSIU Bengaluru and NALSAR Hyderabad, and at the same time make it difficult for some candidates to obtain NLU admission into any university. 65 to 85 is a good score in CLAT for SC/ST candidates even helping them to secure a seat at the elite universities. In this article check out the expected rank and top NLUs for CLAT marks 65 to 85 marks.
Through the Common Law Admission Test, candidates will be admitted into 5-year LLB programmes of CLAT colleges that include 24 NLUs and 60+ private affiliated colleges.
The table below provides CLAT marks vs rank analysis for scores 65 to 85 listing out the corresponding rank of marks between 65 to 85. The rank for 65 to 85 marks in CLAT will span between 2250 to 14600.

Careers360 has developed a free tool known as the CLAT 2025 College Predictor which candidates can use to predict the NLUs and the courses into which they can get admission based on their rank. Candidates have to provide as input their rank, home state, seat type, category, and gender. Based on the inputs the predictor tool will provide the list of NLUs.

The tables given below provide the list of NLUs for marks 65 to 85 that candidates can aim for. The broad score range of 65 to 85 marks has been divided into smaller ranges of 65-70, 70-75, 75-80, and 80-85 marks. The list of NLUs has been given for each of the ranges along with opening and closing ranks as per the CLAT cut-off trends observed last year for each category.
