CLAT 2026 Marks 60 to 65: Expected Rank and NLUs You Are Likely to Get
The expected rank for CLAT 2026 marks of 60 to 65 is generally between 14000 to 18000. It is a challenge to get into National Law Universities (NLUs) with this score. But, majority of students achieve these marks and get into NLUs by correctly utilising the CLAT counselling process. Factors like reservations, category-wise seat distribution, and preferences influence the final seat allocation. All NLUs are competitive, but some of the Tier 2 or 3 NLUs tend to have lower cut-offs, especially for reserved categories. Candidates who do not get NLUs within the 60 to 65 score range can apply to CLAT-affiliated colleges. These accept students with low CLAT scores. Read this article to understand the expected rank for CLAT 2026 marks of 60 to 65 and the possible NLUs for this range.
