Top NLUs like NLSIU Bengaluru, NALSAR Hyderabad, WBNUJS Kolkata, etc, require candidates to score above 95 marks. Candidates can aim for mid-tier NLUs in CLAT 2026 with a score of 85+. Also, candidates must understand that the marks required for top NLUs also depend a lot on the category of the candidates. In this article, we will dive deep into how many marks are required in CLAT 2025 for admission in each of the participating 26 NLUs.

How is the CLAT cutoff for NLUs prepared?
The CLAT cutoff is determined based on many factors like the number of candidates, difficulty level, availability of seats, etc. The difficulty level of the exam plays a very important role in deciding the cutoffs for different NLUs.
