CLAT marks between 75 and 80 can be a good score for the reserved category students. The equivalent rank range for this score is around 3175 - 6260. Tier 1 and 2 National Law Universities (NLUs) such as NLSIU Bengaluru, NALSAR Hyderabad, NLIU Bhopal, WBNUJS Kolkata, NLU Jodhpur, GNLU Gandhinagar, etc. have admitted reserved category candidates between this CLAT range. However, general category students will not be able to get a seat at any NLU with a score of 75 to 80. They would require a 90+ CLAT score to get admitted. This article discusses the possible NLUs for students scoring 75 to 80 in the CLAT 2026 exam.
CLAT 2026 does not have a fixed passing marks criterion; admission to National Law Universities is based on the candidate’s rank in the merit list, which depends on their exam score, the number of applicants, seat availability, and category. The official cut-off marks and merit list will be released after evaluation, determining the scores required to secure admission.
