CLAT PG Application Date:01 Aug' 25 - 31 Oct' 25
The Consortium of National Law Universities will publish the CLAT PG cut-off 2026 through the merit list for each round of counselling. The expected CLAT PG cut-off 2026 will be less than the CLAT cut-off 2026 for UG programmes. The expected cut-off for CLAT PG 2026 will be affected by factors such as the difficulty level of the exam, seat availability, and reservation criteria. Read on to find out the expected CLAT LLM cut-off 2026, including a good score in CLAT PG and CLAT LLM cut-off trends. CLAT PG 2026 will be conducted on December 7, 2025.
Through the Common Law Admission Test PG candidates will be admitted into the LLM programme of participating NLUs. There will be five rounds of CLAT PG counselling. As per the CLAT 2026 seat matrix, there are around 1591 seats in LLM.
A good score in CLAT PG 2026 is expected to be 71+ marks for a general candidate for admission into top NLUs as per last year’s trends. This translates into a percentage score of around 60%. The expected CLAT PG cut-off 2026 is much lower than the good score needed in CLAT UG.
