Analysing the Impact on CLAT Rank Due to Revised Score

As shown in the table above, due to the revised CLAT answer key, the final CLAT 2025 score can increase by up to a maximum of 1.5 marks and decrease by a maximum of 2.25 marks. The CLAT marks vs rank analysis shows that a difference of 1-2 marks can make a difference of around 1000 ranks at the lower spectrum of rank list, and a difference of 50-100 ranks at the top end. The maximum shift in the CLAT rank list due to the revised CLAT 2025 result will be +1000 to -10000 if the candidate's score ranges below 90. For scores above 90, the shift is comparatively lesser at -100 to +100.

Hello,

Yes, if a student is from Telangana, they can apply for a reserved seat in CLAT only if they belong to a reserved category such as SC, ST, OBC, EWS, or PwD, as per the rules of CLAT and the participating National Law Universities (NLUs).

However, please note:

  • CLAT does not have a separate “Telangana state quota.”

  • Reservation is given based on category , not on the state, except in some NLUs that offer domicile (state) reservation for their own state students.

So, if you are from Telangana, you can:

  • Apply under your category reservation (like SC/ST/OBC/EWS) .

  • And you may get Telangana domicile reservation only in those NLUs that are located in Telangana (for example, NALSAR University of Law, Hyderabad ).

Hope it helps !
