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.

Hey there,
If you mean CLAT eligibility for admission to 5-year LLB courses, there is no fixed CLAT score/rank that guarantees eligibility. You must first meet the basic Class 12 eligibility criteria, and admission is based on your CLAT rank, category, preferences, and counselling cut-offs.
For NLUs, a better rank
