Hope it helps.

The expected cut-off for the CLAT UG 2026 for the SC (Scheduled Caste) category is projected to be significantly lower than the general category, making admission to many top-tier National Law Universities (NLUs) highly achievable with a score above $75$ marks. Specifically, securing a seat in the Top 3 NLUs (like NLSIU Bengaluru and NALSAR Hyderabad) will likely require a score of $82+$ marks, corresponding to an All India Rank (SC) of approximately $3000$ to $3500$ and above. For admission to other highly competitive NLUs (Tier 1), the closing ranks typically fall between $4,500$ and $6,000$ , translating to marks in the $77 \text{ to } 80$ range. It is vital for SC candidates to aim high, as these ranks are based on relative merit within the reserved category and offer excellent opportunities at NLUs across India.
