On Question asked by student community
Hello,
With a score of 82 in CLAT 2026 under the EWS category, you do have a chance at getting into decent NLUs, but it may depend on the specific NLU and the cut-offs for this year.
Generally:
Top NLUs (like NLSIU, NALSAR, NUJS, WBNUJS) usually have higher cut-offs, so 82 might be below their usual EWS opening rank.
Mid-tier NLUs (like HNLU, GNLU, RMLNLU, NLUJ) could be within reach.
Lower-ranked NLUs and state NLUs are more likely to accept your score.
Your best step is to check the previous years’ EWS cut-offs for each NLU to see where your rank might fit.
Hope it helps !
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.

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!
