Based on your score of 42/120 in the CLAT 2026 mock test, it's difficult to provide an exact rank as the rank depends on the overall performance of candidates. However, with a score like this, you may expect a rank in the mid to lower range, potentially beyond 2000, but this can vary.

If you scored 42/120 in a mock CLAT test for 2026, your estimated rank would be around 32,500 . This is based on a general distribution of marks. However, the actual rank can vary depending on the difficulty of the exam, the performance of other candidates, and the competition on the test day.

CLAT 2025 marks vs rank

You can directly contact the admission office of SOA University to inquire about the possibility of applying for the BBA LLB course without having appeared for the SAAT or CLAT exams. They may offer alternative admission processes or counseling options for such cases.

With a CLAT 2025 rank of 35,000, getting into top NLUs (National Law Universities) is not possible in the general category. However, you still have some options:

1. Private Law Colleges (Accepting CLAT Score):

You have good chances at:

ICFAI Law School (Hyderabad, Dehradun)

Alliance University, Bangalore

UPES Dehradun

MIT-WPU, Pune

LPU, Punjab

NMIMS (Some campuses)

VIT School of Law

These colleges may offer admission at or below this rank, often through their own application process.

2. State Law Universities & Other Options:

Some state government/private universities use CLAT scores for admission but have higher cut-offs.

Consider giving LSAT India, CUET, or other law entrance tests for better private law schools.

With a CLAT rank of 35,000, getting admission to top law colleges in Delhi is tough through CLAT alone, as NLU Delhi does not accept CLAT (it accepts AILET), and other top options like DU (Faculty of Law) take CUET-PG for 3-year LLB.

However, here are some private law colleges in/around Delhi you can consider:

Law Colleges in Delhi Accepting CLAT (or with own entrance):

1. Amity Law School, Noida

Accepts CLAT and also has its own admission process.

Decent faculty, infrastructure, and placements.

2. JIMS School of Law, Greater Noida

Accepts CLAT / LSAT / their own exam.

3. Sharda University, Greater Noida

Accepts CLAT / LSAT / SUAT.

4. IILM University, Gurugram (near Delhi)

Accepts CLAT score and direct admission available.

5. Galgotias University, Greater NoidaAccepts CLAT and also has its own entrance.

All the best !!

Hi aspirant,

Securing a seat with a rank of 8290 in CLAT 2025 may be difficult, but not impossible, given the cutoff trends from the previous year and the fact that IP University (Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University) takes into account CLAT scores for admission to its BA LLB program. This is especially true if you are a candidate from Delhi.

According to the 2024 cutoff data, some colleges connected with IP University had closing ranks for the BA LLB program that exceeded 8,000 in subsequent rounds, especially for the Delhi area.

To find out the precise requirements for admission and the list of linked universities that accept CLAT scores, it is best to consult the official IP University admission pamphlet for 2025.  Additionally, after every counseling session, monitor the cutoff lists that IP University releases.

All the best!

Hello,

Yes, you can take part in CLAT counselling even if you passed through a supplementary exam. But make sure you have your final passing marksheet or result before the admission process starts.

Most colleges will ask for proof that you have passed your Class 12 before giving final admission. So, if your result comes out in time, you won’t face any problem.

Hope it helps !
