CLAT 2026 Cutoff FAQs
What is the CLAT 2026 Cutoff?
The CLAT 2026 cutoff is the minimum score or rank required for admission to National Law Universities (NLUs). Candidates need to meet the CLAT 2026 cutoff to be eligible for NLU admission. This cutoff varies each year and for different NLUs.
How is the CLAT 2026 Cutoff determined?
The CLAT 2026 cutoff is determined by several factors. These include the difficulty level of the CLAT 2026 exam, the total number of candidates who appeared, and the number of seats available in participating NLUs. Reservation policies also play a significant role in determining the CLAT 2026 cutoff.
What are the expected CLAT 2026 Cutoff marks for top NLUs (General Category)?
For top NLUs like NLSIU Bengaluru and NALSAR Hyderabad, the expected CLAT 2026 cutoff for the General category is usually above 95-100 marks. A score above 90 is generally considered a good score in CLAT 2026 for top NLUs.
What is the expected CLAT 2026 Cutoff for OBC category candidates?
The expected CLAT 2026 cutoff for OBC candidates is generally lower than the general category. For top NLUs, OBC candidates might need to score around 80-90 marks in CLAT 2026. This CLAT 2026 cutoff can vary for different NLUs.
What is the expected CLAT 2026 Cutoff for SC category candidates?
For SC category candidates, the CLAT 2026 cutoff is typically lower due to reservations. A score in the range of 70-85 marks in CLAT 2026 might be sufficient for SC candidates to secure a seat in some NLUs. The specific CLAT 2026 cutoff will depend on the NLU.
What is the expected CLAT 2026 Cutoff for ST category candidates?
ST category candidates generally have a lower CLAT 2026 cutoff compared to other categories. A score in the range of 70-85 marks in CLAT 2026 could potentially secure a seat for ST candidates in various NLUs. The exact CLAT 2026 cutoff for ST will be released by the consortium.
What is the expected CLAT 2026 Cutoff for EWS category candidates?
The CLAT 2026 cutoff for EWS category candidates is usually slightly lower than the general category. An expected score of around 85-95 marks in CLAT 2026 might be considered good for EWS candidates aiming for top NLUs. This CLAT 2026 cutoff will vary by NLU.
When will the CLAT 2026 Cutoff be released?
The CLAT 2026 cutoff is typically released by the Consortium of NLUs after the declaration of the CLAT 2026 results. The cutoff is usually published during the CLAT 2026 counselling process. Candidates should monitor the official CLAT 2026 website for updates.
Does the CLAT 2026 Cutoff change every year?
Yes, the CLAT 2026 cutoff can change every year. Factors like the number of applicants, the overall performance of candidates, and the difficulty of the CLAT 2026 exam influence these changes. Therefore, candidates should refer to the official CLAT 2026 cutoff for accurate information.
What happens if a candidate does not meet the CLAT 2026 Cutoff?
If a candidate does not meet the CLAT 2026 cutoff for any NLU, they will not be eligible for admission to that particular NLU through CLAT. However, they may consider other private law colleges or prepare again for CLAT 2026 in the future. Meeting the CLAT 2026 cutoff is crucial for NLU admissions.
CLAT 2026 Cutoff is the minimum score required to secure admission to National Law Universities (NLUs).

CLAT 2026 Cutoff FAQs
What is the CLAT 2026 Cutoff?
The CLAT 2026 cutoff is the minimum score or rank required for admission to National Law Universities (NLUs). Candidates need to meet the CLAT 2026 cutoff to be eligible for NLU admission. This cutoff varies each year and for different NLUs.
How is the CLAT 2026 Cutoff determined?
The CLAT 2026 cutoff is determined by several factors. These include the difficulty level of the CLAT 2026 exam, the total number of candidates who appeared, and the number of seats available in participating NLUs. Reservation policies also play a significant role in determining the CLAT 2026 cutoff.
What are the expected CLAT 2026 Cutoff marks for top NLUs (General Category)?
For top NLUs like NLSIU Bengaluru and NALSAR Hyderabad, the expected CLAT 2026 cutoff for the General category is usually above 95-100 marks. A score above 90 is generally considered a good score in CLAT 2026 for top NLUs.
What is the expected CLAT 2026 Cutoff for OBC category candidates?
The expected CLAT 2026 cutoff for OBC candidates is generally lower than the general category. For top NLUs, OBC candidates might need to score around 80-90 marks in CLAT 2026. This CLAT 2026 cutoff can vary for different NLUs.
What is the expected CLAT 2026 Cutoff for SC category candidates?
For SC category candidates, the CLAT 2026 cutoff is typically lower due to reservations. A score in the range of 70-85 marks in CLAT 2026 might be sufficient for SC candidates to secure a seat in some NLUs. The specific CLAT 2026 cutoff will depend on the NLU.
What is the expected CLAT 2026 Cutoff for ST category candidates?
ST category candidates generally have a lower CLAT 2026 cutoff compared to other categories. A score in the range of 70-85 marks in CLAT 2026 could potentially secure a seat for ST candidates in various NLUs. The exact CLAT 2026 cutoff for ST will be released by the consortium.
What is the expected CLAT 2026 Cutoff for EWS category candidates?
The CLAT 2026 cutoff for EWS category candidates is usually slightly lower than the general category. An expected score of around 85-95 marks in CLAT 2026 might be considered good for EWS candidates aiming for top NLUs. This CLAT 2026 cutoff will vary by NLU.
When will the CLAT 2026 Cutoff be released?
The CLAT 2026 cutoff is typically released by the Consortium of NLUs after the declaration of the CLAT 2026 results. The cutoff is usually published during the CLAT 2026 counselling process. Candidates should monitor the official CLAT 2026 website for updates.
Does the CLAT 2026 Cutoff change every year?
Yes, the CLAT 2026 cutoff can change every year. Factors like the number of applicants, the overall performance of candidates, and the difficulty of the CLAT 2026 exam influence these changes. Therefore, candidates should refer to the official CLAT 2026 cutoff for accurate information.
What happens if a candidate does not meet the CLAT 2026 Cutoff?
If a candidate does not meet the CLAT 2026 cutoff for any NLU, they will not be eligible for admission to that particular NLU through CLAT. However, they may consider other private law colleges or prepare again for CLAT 2026 in the future. Meeting the CLAT 2026 cutoff is crucial for NLU admissions.
