CLAT Application Date:01 Aug' 25 - 31 Oct' 25
While a rank of 2800 to 3000 in CLAT may not be enough for a general candidate, the chances of obtaining NLU admission for SC, ST, and OBC candidates in top NLUs are very high. To obtain a CLAT rank of 2800 to 3000 candidates need a score of around 83 to 85. As per the available CLAT cut-off data, this score is far less than the CLAT general cut-off and CLAT EWS cut-off in top NLUs such as NLSIU Bengaluru and NALSAR Hyderabad. Read on to find out the top NLUs for CLAT rank 2800 to 3000, and clat marks vs rank analysis.
CLAT 2025 was conducted on December 1, 2024 offline. Candidates will be admitted into 5-year LLB and LLM programmes of CLAT colleges that include NLUs and other affiliated colleges.
The CLAT marks vs rank analysis given below provides the corresponding marks for ranks between 2800 and 3000. The difference between marks is very narrow across different ranks. Candidates have to obtain a score between 83 to 85 marks as per the comparison for marks vs rank. The table given below has been prepared based on data and trends observed last year.
CLAT 2025 Rank | CLAT 2025 Marks |

2850 | 84.25 |
2900 | 84.25 |

A rank of 2800 to 3000 in CLAT is a good rank only for SC and ST candidates. For these candidates, 83-85 marks is a good score in CLAT 2025 that will get them a seat in the top 10 NLUs. However, general candidates may not be able to secure NLU admission with CLAT rank 2800 to 3000. Candidates from EWS and OBC categories can clear the NLU cut-off for the tier 3 NLUs with this rank.

Hello,
If you want to prepare for the CLAT 2026 LLM exam. You should first understand the CLAT PG exam's syllabus, exam pattern, and weightage of sections like constitutional law and jurisprudence. Also, after that, create a structured study plan with good time management, and focus on your weak areas to improve yourself for the exam. You can also prepare with PYQ and mock tests.
I hope it will clear your query!!
