CLAT Marks Vs Rank : CLAT 2024 was conducted on December 3, 2023, and the result will be released on December 10. The admissions for CLAT 2024 will be completed based on the ranks received by the CLAT test-takers by converting the marks into merit ranks. These ranks will be used for selecting students for admission to law colleges such as NLUs (National Law Universities) and other private law colleges. Therefore, it becomes extremely important for candidates to understand the CLAT marks vs ranks correlation and other related information. Read the article given below to understand the entire process of how a merit rank is determined.

The Common Law Entrance Test or CLAT is one of the most important law entrance tests which is accepted by most institutes, be it government or private law colleges . The CLAT exam is the gateway to 22 National Law Universities (NLU) situated across India. The 22 NLUs conduct the examination each year on a rotation basis.

By now, the CLAT aspirants might have understood the fact that to get admission into a top-ranked NLU, law students need to obtain the highest possible score. Candidates with an AIR of 80 or a CLAT score of 100+ will have the best chance of getting into NLSIU Bengaluru or the other top NLUs.

Why CLAT 2024 Marks vs Rank are Important?

The students who are appearing for CLAT 2024 should have an understanding of the CLAT marks vs rank to understand the score they should obtain in the exam. The CLAT 2024 cutoff scores will be released in the form of the last rank, but not in the form of minimum marks. However, it becomes difficult for law students to understand the minimum CLAT marks that they need to secure to get admitted into one of the National Law Universities (NLUs). Once CLAT 2024 aspirants have familiarity with the CLAT 2024 marks vs rank, it will help them understand if their preparation level matches the marks they need to score. As admissions to NLUs are based on CLAT rank, law aspirants know whether the score they are obtaining in mock tests is good enough or if they need to improve their preparation level.
