CLAT Fourth Merit List 2026 - Download PDF here

Hello aspirant,

The Gujarat domicile rank is useful only for seats reserved under the domicile quota at GNLU Gandhinagar. However, even for domicile candidates, GNLU cutoffs usually close at much better All India Ranks. With an AIR of 19000, the chances are quite low, but since counselling invitation is received, it is still worth participating as some movement can happen in later rounds. Do not rely only on domicile rank final allotment depends on AIR, category and seat availability.

Hope the details will help you.

THANK YOU

Hello,

Based on previous year CLAT cutoff trends , your chances for NLSIU Bangalore are very low .

NLSIU Bangalore has the highest cutoff among all NLUs . In recent years, the final closing rank for General category has been around AIR 100–120 only.

You have:

• General category AIR: 658

• Women category rank: 313

• No Karnataka domicile

Women reservation in NLUs is horizontal , not a separate quota. This means it does not add extra seats . It only helps when candidates are very close to the general cutoff. At a rank of 313 , the gap is too large.

Even in spot or final rounds, NLSIU does not go beyond ~120 rank for General category candidates without domicile.

However, with these ranks, you have good chances in other top NLUs like NALSAR Hyderabad, WBNUJS Kolkata, NLU Jodhpur, GNLU Gandhinagar, and NLIU Bhopal, depending on counselling rounds.

Hope it helps !

Hello,

Yes, a student with CLAT 2026 rank around 12,000 can register for counselling.

However, chances of getting a seat in the top NLUs (like NLSIU Bangalore, NALSAR Hyderabad, WBNUJS Kolkata, NLIU Bhopal) are very low, as their closing ranks are usually below 4,000 for the general category.

For mid-tier NLUs (like NLU Jodhpur, HNLU Raipur, GNLU Gandhinagar, RMLNLU Lucknow), closing ranks generally go up to 5,000–8,000, so it will still be difficult.

Lower-tier NLUs (like NLU Odisha, NUALS Kochi, NUSRL Ranchi, NLUJA Assam, DSNLU Vizag, TNNLU, HPNLU Shimla) sometimes admit candidates with ranks in the 10,000–30,000 range , especially in later counselling rounds or if there are vacancies. State quota reservations can also improve chances.

You can also use our CLAT College Predictor Tool to predict which colleges you can get based on your score and rank.

Hope it helps !

Hello,

A CLAT score of 81.25 places you in the moderate range, where admission to top NLUs becomes difficult, but opportunities may still remain in newer and mid-tier NLUs, depending on your category, seat movement, and round wise cutoffs.
