The Consortium of National Law Universities publishes the CLAT merit list on the website consortiumofnlus.ac.in. The CLAT merit list 2027 is published for each of the five rounds of CLAT counselling. The CLAT 2027 expected cut-off rank for OBC will be 1100 or higher in top NLUs. The CLAT OBC cut-off is usually lower than that of the general and EWS categories. With domicile reservation, the cut-off can reach even lower than the cut-off trends observed for SC/ST categories.
The consortium of NLUs will conduct the CLAT 2027 on December 6, 2026. Candidates who appear in the Common Law Admission Test can gain admission into 5-year LLB programmes of participating NLUs and affiliated colleges. The NLU admissions for LLM will be done based on the scores in the Common Law Entrance Test - PG to be conducted on the same day.
The round-wise CLAT 2027 cut-off for OBC candidates will be published after the merit lists are released. The previous year's CLAT cut-off data indicate that the expected CLAT OBC cut-off 2027 in the top NLUs will be a rank of 1100 and above. An OBC candidate must have a CLAT 2027 score of 90+ marks to gain admission into NLSIU Bengaluru or NALSAR Hyderabad, the top two NLUs in CLAT 2027. The CLAT OBC cut-off trends also suggest that a rank of 1400 is good to gain admission into NLIU Bhopal, NLU Jodhpur, or GNLU Gandhinagar.
