The CLAT merit list is prepared for each round of counselling for admission into each of the participating NLUs in CLAT. Candidates are included in the merit list as per their ranks, which are determined by the marks obtained by them in CLAT. It is therefore important for a candidate to understand the CLAT marks vs rank comparison to ascertain their chances of admission.
The candidates are also arranged according to the category they belong to. Another factor that influences the candidate’s inclusion in the CLAT merit list for any particular NLU is whether the candidate has opted for that NLU when submitting the NLU preferences.

If two or more candidates obtain the same number of marks, then the Consortium will resort to the tie breaker rule to prepare the merit list of CLAT 2026. Given below is the rules of the tiebreaker for CLAT 2026 merit list:
The candidate with higher marks in legal reasoning will be ranked higher.
If the tie persists, then the senior candidate in terms of age will be given a higher rank.

The CLAT cut off will be available through the CLAT merit list 2026. The CLAT cut off is expressed in terms of the last rank of the candidate admitted into each NLU. The CLAT 2026 cut off would be available for each participating NLU.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Going by past year trends, a good score in CLAT 2026 would be 90-100+ marks for various categories.
There are five rounds of CLAT 2026 counselling.
The CLAT 2026 merit list can be downloaded from the official website - consortiumofnlus.ac.in.
On Question asked by student community
If you are expecting around 80 marks in CLAT 2026, your chances will mainly depend on that year’s overall difficulty level and how the marks translate into ranks. In most years, a score around 80 usually places candidates somewhere in the mid-rank range, which means that the top NLUs like NLSIU Bengaluru, NALSAR Hyderabad or WBNUJS Kolkata are generally difficult to get at this score. However, some of the newer or mid-tier NLUs may still be possible depending on cut-offs, reservation category, and seat availability during later rounds. Students with similar scores in past years have sometimes received calls from NLUs such as NLU Jabalpur, NLU Assam, NLU Tripura, NLU Aurangabad, or NLU Shimla, but the exact possibilities shift every year. Treat this score as competitive but not in the top bracket, and wait for the official ranks to get a clearer picture of which options are realistically open. All the best!
Hello aspirant,
With 64.5 marks in CLAT 2026 and EWS+UP domicile, getting a top NLU may be difficult because EWS cutoffs are usually high. However, you may still have chances in the newer or mid-tier NLUs, depending on this year's overall scoring trend. NLUs like NLU Tripura, NLU Shimla or NLU Jabalpur sometimes open seats for EWS candidates at lower scores. It's best to wait for the official ranks and counselling lists, as seats shift during later rounds.

THANK YOU
Hello aspirant,
Getting 43 in CLAT can feel disappointing, but it doesn't define your ability. You still have AILET, and many students improve sharply in their second attempt. For AILET, focus more on English, logical reasoning and GK. In static GK, study important books, monuments, national parks, constitutional facts and major awards. For current affairs, revise the last 6-8 months covering national events, government schemes, appointments, sports and major international news. Make short notes and revise daily. With a clear plan and claim mind, you can perform much better in AILET.
