Expected NLU-wise cutoffs for CLAT 2027, based on CLAT 2026 actuals and historical trend data. This page is a draft and will be updated with live results once CLAT 2027 is conducted.
The table below shows the expected CLAT 2027 cutoffs for all NLUs, based on the CLAT 2026 actual cutoffs adjusted for expected paper difficulty and candidate distribution. These are estimates and will be updated once the Consortium releases the official CLAT 2027 results.
| NLU | CLAT 2026 Cutoff (Actual) | CLAT 2027 Expected Cutoff | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| NLSIU Bangalore | 58 | [TBD: 55–65] | No expected change in seat count |
| NALSAR Hyderabad | 75 | [TBD: 70–85] | Stable trend |
| NUJS Kolkata | 95 | [TBD: 90–105] | Stable trend |
| NLU Delhi (AILET) | 120 | [TBD: via AILET separately] | Not CLAT-based |
| NLIU Bhopal | 160 | [TBD: 155–175] | |
| GNLU Gandhinagar | 220 | [TBD: 210–240] | Gujarat domicile cutoff lower |
| HNLU Raipur | 320 | [TBD: 310–340] | |
| RMLNLU Lucknow | 380 | [TBD: 370–400] | |
| RGNUL Punjab | 420 | [TBD: 410–440] | |
| CNLU Patna | 520 | [TBD: 500–540] |
Predicted ranges are based on CLAT 2026 actuals plus a ±10% adjustment for paper difficulty variance. Actual cutoffs may fall outside this range if the 2027 paper is significantly easier or harder than expected.
For category candidates, the same methodology applies — add the typical OBC/SC/ST/EWS spread to the General cutoff for a rough estimate.
This page will be updated immediately after the official CLAT 2027 answer key and result are released. All [TBD] markers will be replaced with actual figures. Bookmark the page if you want to return for updates.
Once you have a rank estimate, use our preference list guide to plan your NLU order. The decision framework from our Top 10 NLUs 2027 post applies directly once you know your rank band.
[TBD — typically within 2–3 weeks of the exam result. Will be updated with the specific date once known.]
Expected cutoffs are based on historical data plus paper difficulty estimates. Accuracy is typically within ±20 ranks of the actual figure.
Depends on candidate count and paper difficulty. If the paper is harder than 2026, cutoff scores (marks) will drop but rank cutoffs may stay similar. We will update this page once actual data is available.
