CLAT 2026 Syllabus: Complete Details

Hello

With an AIR of 4941 and a UP-EWS rank of 1043 in CLAT 2026, getting a top NLU may be difficult.
However, you still have chances in some newer and lower-ranked NLUs, especially in later counselling rounds.
NLUs like Tripura, Meghalaya, Manipur, Sikkim, and Andhra Pradesh can be possible options.
Your UP domicile with EWS may give a very slim chance at RMLNLU Lucknow, mostly in mop-up rounds. Seat availability changes a lot in later rounds, so don’t skip any counselling stage.
It’s good to keep private law colleges as backup options.

Hello,

With a CLAT rank around 20,000 , getting a seat in top IPU law colleges like USLLS or VIPS is very unlikely , even with defence quota. In past years, these colleges usually closed at much lower ranks.

However, IPU has a 5% defence quota , which can help you get a seat at a higher rank than general category candidates. With defence quota, you may have a chance in lower-preferred IPU law colleges in later counselling rounds (sliding or spot rounds).

So, at 20k CLAT rank with defence quota :

• Top IPU law colleges → Not possible

• Other IPU-affiliated law colleges → Possible in later rounds

• Seat is not guaranteed , depends on vacancies and your defence priority

You should participate in all counselling rounds and keep defence documents ready to improve your chances.

You can also use our CLAT College Predictor Tool to predict which colleges you can get based on your score and rank.

Hope it helps !

Hello,

With 51 marks in CLAT, ST category, and Jharkhand domicile, your chances in top NLU are low, but you may have a possibility in lower or newer NLU, especially those offering ST reservation or state domicile quota if available. Final admission will depend on your category rank, seat matrix, and counselling rounds.

Hope it helps.

With a CLAT score of around 74 marks, OBC category, and Bihar domicile, you do have a fair chance of getting admission to Chanakya National Law University (CNLU), Patna, but it cannot be considered fully guaranteed.

CNLU offers domicile-based reservation for Bihar candidates along with category reservation, which works in your favour. In previous years, the closing scores for OBC Bihar domicile candidates at CNLU have generally been lower than the All India OBC cut-offs. A score in the low to mid-70s has often remained competitive for state quota seats, especially by later rounds of counselling.

However, CLAT cut-offs vary every year depending on factors like the difficulty level of the paper, number of applicants, seat matrix, and counselling trends. If the paper is comparatively easier or competition is higher, cut-offs may rise slightly.

You should definitely participate in CLAT counselling and keep CNLU Patna high in your preference list. At the same time, it is advisable to also include other NLUs where OBC category cut-offs are slightly lower, so that you have backup options in later rounds.

Keep checking counselling updates and seat allotment rounds carefully, as many candidates get seats after withdrawals in subsequent rounds.

All the best.

Hello,

Sorry, but with 59 marks in the CLAT, your chances of getting in top NLUs in the general category are very low, as the cutoffs are usually 90+ marks. But don't worry you have good chances in the tier-3 NLUs, espicely if you are belongs to SC/ST/OBC reserved categories.

I hope it will clear your query!!

Hello

You are scoring 35.75 in the CLAT exam as a female candidate, and both parents are in the Army, so you have a plus point for the Army quota, but getting admission in top NLUs is highly unlikely because the SC cutoffs for the top NLUs are often 60+ or even 80+ marks. But you have a chance to get admission in the lower NLUs colleges through the women's/ Armed Forces (Ward quota). You can find the NLU colleges' list that gives you admission at this score by reading the article CLAT Expected NLUs , which was published on our official website, careers360.

Thank you.

With 47.5 marks in CLAT 2026 under General category, chances of admission in top NLUs are very low. However, you may have a chance in lower-ranked or newer NLUs, depending on the cut-off, women reservation, and domicile rules. Final allotment depends on counselling rounds and seat availability.

Thankyou i hope this will resolve some doubt
