CLAT 2024 Question Paper and Answer Key with Detailed Solutions

Hello,

Based on previous year CLAT cutoff trends , your chances for NLSIU Bangalore are very low .

NLSIU Bangalore has the highest cutoff among all NLUs . In recent years, the final closing rank for General category has been around AIR 100–120 only.

You have:

• General category AIR: 658

• Women category rank: 313

• No Karnataka domicile

Women reservation in NLUs is horizontal , not a separate quota. This means it does not add extra seats . It only helps when candidates are very close to the general cutoff. At a rank of 313 , the gap is too large.

Even in spot or final rounds, NLSIU does not go beyond ~120 rank for General category candidates without domicile.

However, with these ranks, you have good chances in other top NLUs like NALSAR Hyderabad, WBNUJS Kolkata, NLU Jodhpur, GNLU Gandhinagar, and NLIU Bhopal, depending on counselling rounds.

Hello,

Yes, a student with CLAT 2026 rank around 12,000 can register for counselling.

However, chances of getting a seat in the top NLUs (like NLSIU Bangalore, NALSAR Hyderabad, WBNUJS Kolkata, NLIU Bhopal) are very low, as their closing ranks are usually below 4,000 for the general category.

For mid-tier NLUs (like NLU Jodhpur, HNLU Raipur, GNLU Gandhinagar, RMLNLU Lucknow), closing ranks generally go up to 5,000–8,000, so it will still be difficult.

Lower-tier NLUs (like NLU Odisha, NUALS Kochi, NUSRL Ranchi, NLUJA Assam, DSNLU Vizag, TNNLU, HPNLU Shimla) sometimes admit candidates with ranks in the 10,000–30,000 range , especially in later counselling rounds or if there are vacancies. State quota reservations can also improve chances.

Hello,

A CLAT score of 81.25 places you in the moderate range, where admission to top NLUs becomes difficult, but opportunities may still remain in newer and mid-tier NLUs, depending on your category, seat movement, and round wise cutoffs.

Hello there first of all congratulations on scoreing so well in your CLAT examination

With general AIR 33490 and clat score nearby 96 or 95 , getting admission in RGNUL Patiala under punjab domicile is POSSIBLE but NOT GUARANTEED

Hello,

With 40 marks in CLAT 2026 as an OBC female with UP domicile, getting into top NLUs is tough, but you might secure your seat in the lower-ranked NLUs, especially with a state/category quota, so focus on improving your score and secure a spot in the lower-tier NLUs.

I hope it will clear your query!!

Hello,

Even with a low CLAT score, you might still get admission in Delhi but not in the NLUs. You should look for the newer NLUs and private colleges (like Lloyd, Galgotias, and VIPs) or DU's own entrance to DU LLB or other state/private law schools for better chances in Delhi.

I hope it will clear your query!!

Hello,

Sorry, but with a score of 33.25 in the general category, securing a government college seat with a traditional counselling process is highly unlikely. However, you may have opportunities in other reputable private law colleges, or some state-level government colleges give seats with lower CLAT scores. Here in this article you'll find more about the CLAT cutoffs.

Hello,

Yes, with a CLAT rank of 668 and 94.25 marks in the general category, your daughter has a very good chance of securing admission into a number of reputable NLUs; also, with a women's quota, she has a very good chance. Her rank falls under the rank of some mid-tier to mid-tier NLUs.

I hope it will clear your query!!

Hello,

It's a hard catch; it's nearly impossible to get into NLUs.

Even for the SC/ST category, it's highly difficult to get into.

The obtained 50 marks are considered to be lowest obtained scores and need to be leveled for the admissions to get into NLUs.

And it's also not such a good mark to be qualified for the admissions.

What you can do is that you can reappear and score at least the minimum of 80-90 marks from the total marks to be in the mid-top on the NLU's admission scores.

Hope this helps with your query. Good luck.
