    CLAT 2026 Marks 70 to 75: Expected Rank and NLUs You Are Likely to Ge

    #CLAT

    A CLAT score of 70-75 gives a marks percentage of roughly 58% to 62.5% marks. This range is not competitive enough for general category aspirants aiming for top NLUs, where cut-offs are significantly higher. However, for candidates belonging to SC and ST categories, this score is often sufficient to meet cut-offs at many NLUs, enhancing their chances of admission. EWS and OBC category candidates can also find options. Although it is limited but still feasible depending on specific NLUs and the NLU cut-off ranges.

    CLAT 2025 cut-off data shows that many admissions in this score range for EWS and OBC were possible mainly through state category reservations. EWS candidates scoring 70-75 in CLAT gained admission to NLUs like MNLU Mumbai, NUALS Kochi, NLUJA Assam, MNLU Nagpur, and MNLU Aurangabad through state reservation. Similarly, OBC candidates secured seats at CNLU Patna, MNLU Nagpur, Mumbai, NLUJA Assam, and Aurangabad via state quotas.

    I have scored 72% in 12th boards but have rt in my additional subject. I'm aiming for Clat 2027. so is it necessary for me to give that exam or I can skip it?

    Hi,
    Yes, you should appear for the compartment/improvement exam in the subject where you got RT (Reappear in Theory).

    Even though your 72% overall marks are enough for Common Law Admission Test 2027 eligibility, clearing the RT is still very important because your Class 12 marksheet should officially show “PASS.”
