A good score in CLAT 2026 is not a static figure. It depends on several factors. Given below are the factors influencing the CLAT score required for RMLNLU Lucknow:
Difficulty level of the exam: The more difficult the exam, the lower will be the RMLNLU Lucknow cut-off. Going by the trends seen in the CLAT exam analysis last year, the exam was easy and the CLAT 2026 score required for NLU admission was high.
Seat Matrix: The more the number of available seats, the lower will be the CLAT 2026 score required for RMLNLU admission. The seats and cut-off have an inverse relationship. The higher the number of NLU vacant seats in each round of counselling, the NLU cut-off will slide further down.
Reservation Criteria: The CLAT score required for RMNLU admissions will be different for each category as per the CLAT 2026 reservation criteria followed by the university. The university also offers domicile reservations for UP candidates in addition to reservations for candidates from other states, which causes fluctuations in the RMLNLU CLAT cut-off.
CLAT NLU Preferences: Candidates have to submit the NLU preference list 2026 after the declaration of the CLAT 2026 result. Since RMLNLU is a top preference among candidates, the CLAT 2026 score required for RMLNLU admission will be higher.

Hello,
In CLAT , the 9-digit admit card number is not the same as the roll number you have to write on the OMR sheet. The OMR sheet has only 7 blocks because the CLAT roll number is shorter.
You should check your admit card again and look for the roll number printed near your name and exam details. Fill only that roll number in the OMR sheet. Do not write the 9-digit admit card number.
If you still cannot find the roll number, you can ask the exam invigilator on the exam day.
Hope it helps !
Hello,
To check your CLAT exam hall ticket, go to the official website, log in with your registration or application number and password (or other login details), and the admit card will be displayed on the screen. You should then download and print at least two copies of the admit card for the exam and counselling process.
I hope it will clear your query!!
