What is CLAT Cut-Off?

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.

Important Factors Determining CLAT 2026 Cut Off

Given below are a few factors that will determine the expected CLAT cut-off 2026. 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 2026 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 in only 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 2026 category-wise will be impacted by the reservation policy followed by the NLUs. Some NLUs also have domicile reservations as per the CLAT 2026 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 is 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.

How to Check CLAT 2026 Cut-Off?

Candidates can check the CLAT cut-off 2026 for each NLU through the provisional allotment list published by the consortium for each round of CLAT 2026 counselling. Given below are the steps to check the CLAT cut-off.

CLAT Exam Analysis 2026

The CLAT exam analysis 2026 will be released shortly after the CLAT exam 2026 concludes. Careers360 will release the exam analysis for the CLAT exam from the test-takers to know about the question paper details and the section-wise difficulty level. As per the feedback obtained from students, the difficulty level of CLAT 2025 ranged from easy to moderate. Certain students claimed the CLAT 2025 exam to be the easiest one so far. The easy nature of the exam will mean the CLAT cut-off is likely to be high. Given below is the section-wise analysis of CLAT.

CLAT 2025 Analysis

Sections	Difficulty Level	Topics	Good Attempts
Current Affairs and GK	Easy	Article 370, Civil Obedience, Shakti Scheme, Olympics	Good Attempts - 105+ Safe Attempts - 110+
Logical Reasoning	Easy to Moderate	Analytical Reasoning

Good Score in CLAT 2026

A good score in CLAT is expected to be in the range of 90-100+ marks for the general category for admission in top NLUs. A CLAT cut-off mark of 90+ means candidates must have a percentage score of 80%. The CLAT cut-off marks 2026 are expected to vary across different categories. For SC/ST candidates, the CLAT 2026 cut-off is expected to be in the range of 75+ marks.

Good Score in CLAT PG 2026

A good score in CLAT PG 2026 is expected to be 71+ marks for top NLUs. As per the CLAT PG 2026 marks vs rank analysis, a score of 71+ marks will translate into a rank of 100 or above. This can help candidates clear the CLAT LLM cut-off 2026 for premier NLUs such as NLSIU Bengaluru and NALSAR Hyderabad.

CLAT Marks Vs Rank Analysis 2026

The consortium releases the CLAT cut-off 2026 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 2026, the NLU preferences have to be filled after the publication of the CLAT 2026 results, which gives candidates the benefit of choosing their NLU as per their rank. The expected trend in the CLAT marks and rank dynamics is given in the table below.

Expected CLAT 2026 Marks vs Rank

CLAT 2026 marks	Expected CLAT 2026 rank
98+	200
92+	500
90+	1000

Success Rate in CLAT

Law aspirants often find that CLAT is tough. CLAT is one of the lengthiest and reading-intensive law entrance exams in India. The difficulty level of CLAT is reflected in its success rate. An analysis of CLAT statistics of 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.

CLAT LLM Marks Vs Rank 2026

Given below is the CLAT PG marks vs rank analysis that will help candidates know the rank into which their CLAT PG score translates.

Read the passage carefully and answer the question

The Contract should be performed by the promisor himself. However, in certain cases, it can also be performed by his agents or legal representatives. It all depends upon the intention of the parties. Normally a contract can be performed by the following persons.

Promisor himself: If from the nature of the contract it appears that it was the intention of the parties that the promise should be performed by the promisor himself, such promise must be performed by the promisor. This usually applies to contracts involving personal skill, task, or artwork.
Promisor or his Agent: Where the contract does not involve the personal skill of the promisor, the contract could be performed by the promisor himself or by any competent person employed by him for the purpose,
Legal Representatives: The contracts which do not involve any personal skill or taste, may be performed by his legal representative after the death of the promisor.
Third Person: In some cases, a contract may be performed by a third person provided the promisee accepts the arrangement. According to Section 41 of the Indian Contract Act, once the promisee accepts the performance from a third person, he cannot compel the promisor to perform the contract again.
Performance of Joint Promises: According to section 42 of the Indian Contract Act, when two or more persons have made a joint promise, the joint promisors must fulfill the promise jointly during their lifetime. And if any one of them dies, then his legal representatives and survivors must jointly fulfill the promise.

Section 43 of the Indian Contract Act further provides that unless a contrary intention appears from the contract, each joint promisor may compel every other joint promisor to contribute equally to the performance of the promise. If any joint promisor makes a default in such contribution, the remaining joint promisors must bear the loss arising from such default in equal shares.

Natural justice is another name for common sense justice rules of natural justice are not in codified form these principles are embedded or ingrained or inbuilt in the conscience of human beings. It supplies the omission made in codified law and helps in the administration of justice. Natural justice is not only confined to ‘fairness’ it will take many shades and colours based on the context. Thus natural justice apart from ‘fairness’ also implies reasonableness, equity and equality. They are neither cast in a rigid mould nor can they be put in a legal straitjacket. These principles written by nature in the heart of mankind, they are immutable, inviolable, and inalienable.

It is true that the concept of natural justice is not very clear and, therefore, it is not possible to define it; yet the principles of natural justice are accepted and enforced. In the case of Ridge V. Baldwin Court observed that “in modern times have sometimes been expressed to the effect that natural justice is as vague as to be practically meaningless. But I would regard these as tainted by the perennial fallacy that because something cannot be cut and dried or nicely weighed or measured therefore it does not exist”. The term natural justice signifies fundamental rules of judicial procedure and fair play in action. According to Lord Widgery “the principles of natural justice were those fundamental rules; the breach will prevent justice from being seen to be done”. Earliest expression of ‘natural justice’ could be found in the philosophical expression of Roman Jurist (jus natural) and signified rules and principles for the conduct of man which were independent of enacted law or customs and could be discovered by the rational intelligence of man and would grow out of and conform to his nature.

The rule against bias that surfaced in 1610 in Dr Bonham's Casewhere Chief Justice Coke went so far as to say that the Court could declare an Act of Parliament void if it made a man as judge in his own cause, or otherwise ‘against common right and reason’. This was one of his grounds for disallowing the claim of the College of Physicians to fine and imprison Doctor Bonham, a Doctor of Physics of Cambridge University, for practising in the city of London without the licence of College of Physicians. The statute under which the College acted provided that fines should go half to the King half to the College so that the College had a financial interest in its own judgement and was judged in its own cause.

In the case of M/S Halonex Limited, 59-A Noida vs State of U.P., it was held that “In reply to the aforesaid submission, learned counsel for opposite party no.2 submitted that the case of the applicants that no amount is due from their side to the complainant is a matter of defence which cannot be considered at this stage. It has been submitted that the term 'entrustment' as used in Section 405 IPC has been given a wider interpretation. It has been submitted that the goods returned by the complainant to the Company for replacement or for reimbursement would be deemed to have been entrusted to the Company and as the applicants 2 & 3 were handling its affair they become responsible. To buttress the said submission, the learned counsel for the complainant drew the attention of the Court to a decision of the Apex Court in the case of Ram Narayan Popli Vs. Central Bureau of Investigation: (2003) 3 SCC 641, wherein it was observed that: "the term "entrustment" is not necessarily a term of law. It may have different implications in different contexts. In its most general signification all it imports is the handing over possession for some purpose which may not imply the conferring of any proprietary right at all." Attention was also drawn to an observation made in the judgment of the aforesaid case, where it was observed that: "to establish the charge of criminal breach of trust, the prosecution is not obliged to prove the precise mode of conversion, misappropriation or misapplication by the accused of the property entrusted to him or over which he has dominion. The principal ingredient of the offence being dishonest misappropriation or conversion which may not ordinarily be a matter of direct proof, entrustment of property and failure in breach of an obligation to account for the property entrusted if proved, may, in the light of other circumstances, justifiably lead to an inference of dishonest misappropriation or conversion”.
