UPES Integrated LLB Admissions 2026
Ranked #18 amongst Institutions in India by NIRF | Ranked #1 in India for Academic Reputation by QS Rankings | 16 LPA Highest CTC
The majority of students score between 60 and 65 in the CLAT exam. This score generally is equivalent to a rank of around 14,000 to 18,000. Candidates generally have few National Law Universities (NLUs) options within this range. However, students from certain reserved categories might be able to get into NLUs with a CLAT score of 60. Additionally, there are private law colleges accepting candidates with a low CLAT score. This article details whether 60 is a good score in CLAT 2026 to get into NLUs.
The CLAT 2026 answer key will be published on the official website at consortiumofnlus.ac.in.
Based on the previous year’s CLAT cut-offs, General category candidates do not get accepted at NLUs with 60 marks. The cut-offs are comparatively higher for this category and would require a score of 90+. EWS category students can get accepted at MNLU Nagpur for its BA LLB program. The opening rank for EWS was around 7,863, while the closing rank was 16,868. Other NLUs require higher ranks for admission.
Candidates from the OBC category have a few pathways with a rank range between 14,000 and 18,000. They can secure a spot in the BBA LLB program at MNLU Aurangabad, as the opening rank is within the range. Additionally, the closing ranks for both the BA LLB and BBA LLB courses at MNLU Nagpur align with a CLAT score of about 60.

On Question asked by student community
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.

THANK YOU
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.

3. Symbiosis Law Admission Test

Thank you. Hope this information helps you.
Hello
The best way to cover the important current affairs is to read the newspaper daily. Then try to analyse the newspaper and remember the trending topics. Practice the previous year's question paper and understand the pattern of the question. Summarise all current affairs topics and understand them in brief. If you want more information about current affairs, then you will read the article How to Prepare for CLAT Current Affairs 2026 .
Thank you.
