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 aspirant,

You have very little chance of getting into top NLUs (NLSIU, NALSAR, etc.) for the General category with 59 marks on the CLAT. However, if you are in the SC/ST/OBC/EWS categories, where cutoffs are lower, you may be able to get into lower-tier NLUs like DBRANLU Sonipat, HPNLU Shimla, or any younger ones in later rounds. While reserved categories have better prospects in newer/lower NLUs, 59 marks typically fall short of even mid-tier NLUs, requiring 90+ for top ones.

Thank you

Hope it helps you

Hello,

With 59 marks in CLAT, the chances of getting an NLU are very low, especially in the general category. Admission may be possible only in newer NLUs during vacancy or spot rounds, or with reservation or domicile benefits. Otherwise, students should consider private law colleges or reappear for CLAT.
