    Now that the CLAT 2026 exam has been conducted, many students must be wondering which National Law University they can aim for. For those who are speculating that their CLAT marks range to be around 55 - 60 must know, they do not have many options for top NLUs. Instead, these students can primarily aim for admission into tier-three NLUs. The CLAT cut-off trends suggest that reserved category candidates with CLAT marks 55-60 can easily get into tier 3 NLUs and other top law colleges accepting CLAT scores.
