A CLAT score of 50 means, it will be difficult for general category students with no reservation to secure admission to national law universities. However, candidates who fall in the reservation bracket may find NLUs. CLAT marks 50 will translate to around 25-28,000 rank. This article discusses the chances of getting NLUs with a CLAT score of 50, along with listing out top law schools that may offer admission to such students irrespective of their reservation status.
The consortium conducted CLAT 2025 on December 1, 2024, and published the CLAT result on December 7, 2024 on its official website - consortiumofnlus.ac.in. Through the CLAT scores, candidates will be admitted into 5-year LLB and LLM programmes of the participating universities.
According to the CLAT marks vs rank analysis, candidates who secure CLAT marks 50 may obtain a rank between 25,000 - 28,000.

Hey there,
If you mean CLAT eligibility for admission to 5-year LLB courses, there is no fixed CLAT score/rank that guarantees eligibility. You must first meet the basic Class 12 eligibility criteria, and admission is based on your CLAT rank, category, preferences, and counselling cut-offs.
