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.
