The Consortium of NLUs has published the CLAT 2026 fourth merit list on May 9, 2026. The CLAT fourth merit list 2026 was postponed due to a legal tussle in the Allahabad HC, where a Single Judge Bench had ordered a revision in the merit list. The decision was later overturned by a Division Bench of the same HC. Along with the merit list, the CLAT 2026 round 4 cutoffs for all NLUs have also been published. NALSAR Hyderabad cutoff for the general category for CLAT 2026 round 4 was AIR 164. Similarly, WBNUJS Kolkata CLAT 2026 round 4 cutoff closed at 343 AIR. IIULER Goa saw the lowest cutoff in the general category, closing at 2631 AIR. Read the complete article for NLU-wise and category-wise CLAT 2026 fourth round cutoff and more important details.
