Hello,

For CLAT PG 2026, if you aim for top NLUs like NALSAR, NLSIU and WBNUJS, a score of around 75+ marks (rank within 100 ) is generally good for the general category

Cut-offs change every year, so try to score as high as possible for a better chance.

Hope it helps !

Hi Indranil,

For CLAT PG, a good score depends on the paper’s difficulty and the number of candidates. Based on past trends, to get into top NLUs like NALSAR, NUJS, or NLSIU, you usually need to be within the top 100–150 ranks. In percentage terms, this often means scoring around 75+ marks out of 120 in an average difficulty paper. But if the paper is tougher, the cut-off score might be lower while the rank requirement stays similar. Remember, reservation categories also affect the exact cut-off. Focus on revising core law subjects (Constitutional Law, Jurisprudence, IPC, CPC, CrPC, Contracts) and solving at least the last 5 years’ papers. Strong reading comprehension and time management can make a big difference.

Thanks for asking, and all the best for CLAT PG!
