MNLU Mumbai offers 100 seats for BA LLB (Hons.) and 50 seats for LLM. Through the Common Law Admission Test, candidates can get admission into 5-year LLB and LLM programmes of participating CLAT colleges.
Below are the factors that will determine the CLAT 2026 score required for MNLU Mumbai admission-
Seat Matrix: A higher number of available or vacant seats will have the opposite effect on the MNLU Mumbai cut-off. The higher number of CLAT NLU vacant seats will translate to a lower CLAT 2026 score for MNLU Mumbai. This trend has been observed in some lower-ranked NLUs such as NLU Tripura which saw a large number of vacant seats during CLAT 2026 counselling even after five rounds.
Reservation Criteria: The seats at MNLU Mumbai will be filled as per the CLAT 2026 reservation criteria for the university. Reserved categories and candidates with domicile reservations will require a lower CLAT cut-off 2026 for MNLU Mumbai admission.
CLAT NLU Preferences: Candidates can gain admission into only those NLUs that they have included in the NLU preference list. MNLU Mumbai is a popular choice among law aspirants and hence ranks high in the preference list. It will in turn raise the CLAT 2026 score required for MNLU Mumbai admission.
Difficulty level of the exam: Last year’s CLAT exam analysis indicated a relatively easier paper on account of the revision in the CLAT exam pattern. A lower difficulty level will translate to a high CLAT 2026 required for MNLU Mumbai admissions.
A good score in CLAT 2026 will be affected by the factors mentioned above which will in turn impact the CLAT cut-off for MNLU Mumbai. The university also offers domicile reservations to reserved category candidates which takes the CLAT 2026 cut-off score for such candidates to very low levels. Given below is the expected MNLU Mumbai cut-off for various categories.

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.

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.
