The CLAT counselling and seat allotment process is carried out based on the ranks. Top NLUs like NLSIU Bengaluru and NALSAR Hyderabad mostly require candidates to secure ranks under 200. Ranks under 200 in CLAT 2026 are most likely to translate into 95+ marks according to last year’s difficulty level. The CLAT 2026 marks required for NLUs basically depend on the difficulty level of the exam. However, candidates can get a close idea of how many marks to score for a particular NLU through last year’s analysis.

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. For example, if the exam was tough in terms of difficulty level, the CLAT cutoffs for NLUs will be lower. Similarly, if the exam is fairly easy, the cutoffs will go high. Below are some of the factors that will influence the CLAT 2026 cutoffs for NLUs:

  • Difficulty level of CLAT 2026

  • Total number of candidates who appeared in the exam

  • Availability of seats in participating NLUs

  • Reservation policy of the NLUs

  • Category-wise number of candidates

Hello,

In CLAT , the 9-digit admit card number is not the same as the roll number you have to write on the OMR sheet. The OMR sheet has only 7 blocks because the CLAT roll number is shorter.

You should check your admit card again and look for the roll number printed near your name and exam details. Fill only that roll number in the OMR sheet. Do not write the 9-digit admit card number.

If you still cannot find the roll number, you can ask the exam invigilator on the exam day.

Hope it helps !

Hello,

To check your CLAT exam hall ticket, go to the official website, log in with your registration or application number and password (or other login details), and the admit card will be displayed on the screen. You should then download and print at least two copies of the admit card for the exam and counselling process.

I hope it will clear your query!!
