    The Consortium of National Law Universities (NLUs) will conduct the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) 2027 on December 6, 2026. General category candidates aiming for admission to top NLUs such as NLSIU, NALSAR, NLIU Bhopal, WBNUJS, and NLU Jodhpur must achieve a CLAT rank under 500. Reserved category candidates can expect a lower cut-off. For example, NALSAR Hyderabad closed admissions at rank 168 for the general category, 915 for OBC, and 713 for EWS. The CLAT 2027 expected cut-off for top NLUs is based on previous years’ cut-off trends. The CLAT 2027 cut-off might vary based on the difficulty level of the exam, total number of candidates who appear for the exam, reservation policy, seat intake, etc.
