Candidates seeking seats in top NLUs through CLAT 2026 can only participate in the admission by registering for the counselling process. During the CLAT 2026 counselling process, the consortium will release the cutoff in the form of opening and closing ranks. The Consortium of NLUs will not release the CLAT 2026 cutoff in the form of marks. However, candidates can get an idea about how many marks to score for admission to top NLUs. Careers360 has analysed past year’s data to draw a comparison between the CLAT 2026 cutoff ranks and marks.

    CLAT 2026 Cutoff Ranks vs Marks

    A score of 90+ is most likely to get candidates a rank under 500 and admission to top NLUs like NLSIU Bengaluru, NALSAR Hyderabad, WBNUJS Kolkata, NLIU Bhopal, NLU Jodhpur etc. A CLAT 2026 score around 85 is very likely to get candidates a rank under 2000, which also opens doors for many tier 2 NLUs. If general category candidates want a sure shot at any of the 26 participating NLUs, they must mandatorily score above 80 marks. In the table below we discuss the CLAT 2026 Cutoff Rank vs Cutoff Marks Analysis and how many marks candidates need to score to get admission in their favourite NLUs.

    How is CLAT 2026 Marks vs Rank Data Calculated?

    The Consortium of NLUs does not release any official marks vs rank figures. During the counselling rounds too, the consortium only publishes the ranks of candidates selected for admission. The CLAT 2026 marks vs rank analysis by Careers360 is based on independently conducted data from students who appeared in the past year’s exam. The data cannot be completely accurate in the CLAT 2026 context, but candidates will get a good idea of how many marks they need for their dream NLUs.
