    CLAT 2026 Marks 60 to 65: Expected Rank and NLUs You Are Likely to Get

    #CLAT
    JasmineUpdated on 07 Dec 2025, 05:29 PM IST

    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.

    Possible NLUs for ST Category with a 60–65 CLAT Score

    ST category candidates generally have a stronger chance of securing an NLU seat even with a CLAT score of around 60. Several NLUs had closing ranks in the 15,000–19,000 range in past admission cycles. This allowed ST candidates with similar scores to secure seats in the later rounds of counselling.
