    CLAT 2026 cutoffs for NLIU Bhopal determine admission based on the category rank. These ranks depend on exam difficulty, total applicants (expected 70,000+), limited CLAT seats across 26 NLUs and IIULER Goa, and CLAT reservation criteria. For General category students, aim for 91+ marks to secure a seat at NLIU Bhopal. The expected rank for CLAT 2026 is 480-500 for general category students.

    The CLAT reservation criteria for NLIU Bhopal in 2026 is designed to ensure fair representation for all sections of society. The university allocates seats based on government-mandated percentages, providing opportunities for candidates from General, SC, ST, OBC, and EWS categories, with 50% horizontal MP domicile reservation. Despite this reservation system, the CLAT cutoffs remain highly competitive due to the large number of applicants and limited seats in each category.
