The Consortium of National Law Universities (NLU) conducts the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) as the primary gateway to undergraduate and postgraduate law programmes at 24 National Law Universities across India. Candidates who appeared for the examination are now keenly awaiting their results and the subsequent counselling rounds.
How to Check Your CLAT Score

Understanding Your CLAT Score
CLAT follows a merit-based ranking system. The exam carries 120 marks for the UG programme and 120 marks for the PG programme. There is negative marking of 0.25 marks for every incorrect answer. Candidates should carefully review their raw scores, percentile, and All India Rank (AIR) mentioned on the scorecard, as these determine eligibility for preferred NLUs.
Category-Wise Expected Cut-Offs
While official cut-offs are released by individual NLUs during counselling, the following table provides a general indicative range based on historical trends:
| Category | Indicative CLAT UG Score Range |
|---|---|
| General / Unreserved | 95 – 110+ |
| OBC | 80 – 95 |
| SC | 60 – 80 |
| ST | 50 – 70 |
| PWD / PwBD | 45 – 65 |
