The Consortium of National Law Universities (NLUs) released the CLAT 2027 cut-off with the merit list on the official website. The round-wise cut-off is published for each participating law college. The CLAT 2027 cut-off depends on various factors such as the difficulty level of the exam, seat availability, and the number of applicants. For the general category candidates, the CLAT 2027 cut-off for the top-ranked NLUs is expected to be around 100+ marks.

Through the Common Law Admission Test, candidates are admitted into the law programmes of 26 participating NLUs, IIULER Goa and affiliated colleges. The consortium will conduct the CLAT 2027 on December 6, 2026, in offline mode.
The CLAT cut-offs are the last ranks required for admission to national law universities (NLUs). The tier 1 NLUs, such as NLSIU Bangalore, NALSAR Hyderabad, NUJS Kolkata, and NLU Jodhpur, are the most preferred NLUs for admission and hence, the CLAT cutoff for these universities was the highest amongst others.

Given below are a few factors that will determine the expected CLAT cut-off 2027. These factors will decide whether the CLAT exam is tough and the estimated cut-off.
Number of candidates appearing in the exam: The more the number of candidates appearing for CLAT, the higher the competition will be. As per statistics available for last year, 60544 candidates appeared in CLAT UG, and 14817 candidates appeared for CLAT PG.
Difficulty level of the exam: An easy CLAT question paper will lead to a higher CLAT 2027 cut-off score. As per last year’s CLAT exam analysis, 90+ was a good score in CLAT.
CLAT NLU preferences: Candidates can gain admission only in those NLUs that are part of their NLU preferences. The most preferred NLUs such as NLSIU Bengaluru and NALSAR Hyderabad tend to have higher CLAT cut-offs. This year, candidates were required to provide their NLU preferences at the time of counselling registration. It gives candidates the benefit of hindsight and prefers those NLUs where they have a realistic chance of admission based on their CLAT score.
Reservation policy followed by each NLU: The CLAT cut-off 2027 category-wise will be impacted by the reservation policy followed by the NLUs. Some NLUs also have domicile reservations as per the CLAT 2027 reservation criteria, where seats are reserved for candidates who belong to the state in which the NLU is located.
Seats offered by the NLUs: The higher the number of CLAT seats offered by an NLU, the more the number of admitted students. More seats can lead to a decrease in the CLAT cut-off score of the last admitted candidate. An example of this scenario is NLSIU Bengaluru, which now offers around 300 seats for its UG programme, higher than what it offered earlier. This has led to the NLSIU Bengaluru cut-off rank going above 100 last year.

The consortium releases the CLAT cut-off 2027 in the form of cut-off ranks. The rank, in turn, is determined based on the CLAT score. Candidates must have an understanding of the CLAT marks vs. rank analysis to see how their marks translate into a rank. It also helps the candidates target specific NLUs when filling in the NLU preference list during the counselling process. In CLAT 2027, the NLU preferences have to be filled after the publication of the CLAT 2027 results, which gives candidates the benefit of choosing their NLU as per their rank.

Law aspirants often find that CLAT is tough. CLAT is one of the lengthiest and most reading-intensive law entrance exams in India. The difficulty level of CLAT is reflected in its success rate. An analysis of CLAT statistics from the previous year shows that the success rate in CLAT UG is around 7%. One in 14 candidates can obtain a UG seat in an NLU. The success rate in CLAT PG is around 11%, which means approximately 1 out of 9 candidates can obtain a PG seat in an NLU. The low success rate is on account of the high CLAT cut-off for top NLUs. However, it has also been observed that seats in lower-ranked NLUs sometimes remain vacant, as many students opt for affiliated colleges that accept CLAT instead of a seat in a bottom-ranked NLU.
