65 Marks in CLAT 2026; Expected Rank, NLU, Category-wise Admission Prediction

A score of 65 marks in CLAT 2026 generally falls in a rank zone where students lie somewhere between AIR 3055 and AIR 4455 , based on the usual CLAT marks vs rank patterns. For most students, this score seems to be on the borderline because the competition keeps going up every year, and the established National Law Universities usually close their general category admissions much before this rank. Still, candidates from various reserved categories may get a decent chance, as the closing ranks in these categories are usually far more relaxed. CLAT 2026 cutoffs will again depend on many factors, such as difficulty level, number of applicants, and seat matrix, but the expected trends remain quite similar to the previous years.

For general category students specifically, getting into a well-known NLU with 65 marks is not very simple, as most NLUs close admissions earlier. However, there is one major exception that keeps showing up in CLAT counselling patterns, which is NLU Silvassa. This is one of the few NLUs where closing ranks for both general and reserved categories remain open for candidates in the 3000-4500 rank. Based on the 2024 and 2025 cutoffs, Silvassa continues to accept candidates at higher ranks, making it a likely option in 2026 as well.

Reserved categories such as PwD, women under the General category, and other category students (SC, ST, OBC, EWS, etc.) are more likely to secure a seat with 65 marks, as their closing ranks usually extend much further than the general merit list. Because of this, the score-rank combination of 65 marks and a predicted rank of around 3055 to 4455 becomes slightly more hopeful depending on the category. This expected trend helps students understand where they might stand in the CLAT 2026 marks vs rank list and allows them to plan their counselling strategy accordingly.

With 65 marks in CLAT 2026, general category seats in top NLUs are almost out of reach. However, the competition varies widely across NLUs, and many of them offer relaxed cutoffs for PwD, women, and other reserved categories. So, we advise students to stay realistic, explore all NLU options, understand category benefits, and be prepared to participate actively in multiple counselling rounds to maximise their chances.

How can I take admission in a UG law course at SKJ Law College, Muzaffarpur and when will it start? Is it an online procedure or in offline mode?

To take admission in a UG law course at LPU, you must first check LPU’s official admission portal or contact their admission office for eligibility and application forms. The admission process typically opens after the board exam results are announced. You can apply online via LPU’s portal or visit the campus for offline registration — both modes may be available. It’s best to contact LPU admissions directly for exact start dates and procedure.

Dear student, yes, you can take direct admission for BA LLB at Shri Jawaharlal Nehru University, Mandsaur, if you have 10+2 with at least 50% marks (45% for reserved categories). Admissions will be based on merit for direct admissions, and CUET UG scores are not compulsory if opting for direct admission.
