    The expected rank for CLAT 2026 marks between 45 and 50 is around 28000 and 32000. This score range is considered a low score to get into the National Law Universities (NLUs). General category students might not find any NLU in this score range. From the reserved categories, only SC and ST students can find limited options if they use the CLAT counselling process smartly. Candidates with low CLAT scores can apply to CLAT-affiliated colleges. This article discusses the possible NLUs for students with CLAT 2026 marks 45 to 50.

    Hello Santosh,

    Domicile cut-offs are unpredictable. You can apply and get a seat only if the domicile category is selected. You can apply, but the chances of getting either of them are rare.
