60 Marks in CLAT 2026; Expected Rank, NLU, Admission Chances Category-Wise

60 marks in CLAT 2026 translate to an estimated rank ranging from 6280 - 6505. This is considered a poor performance, especially for the candidates who belong to the General category. Reason being that the admission chances for top NLUs, like NLU Bangalore, NLU Bangalore, NLU Kolkata, etc, become highly unlikely at this rank range, given their significantly higher cut-offs in previous years. Even mid-tier NLUs tend to close much earlier for the General category, further narrowing the possibilities. However, for the OBC category, admission to the top NLUs may be a bit possible.

However, for the OBC candidates, admission to the top NLUs can be a bit more possible, as OBC closing ranks typically extend deeper than general. While admission to the top-tier NLUs might still be difficult, certain mid-tier institutes are within reach depending on state quotas and annual variations. On the other hand, candidates from SC and ST categories experience comparatively favourable prospects. Thereafter, while the 60-mark limit limits the opportunities for some categories, they still offer meaningful admission chances for SC/ ST candidates.

Scoring 60 marks in CLAT 2026, which corresponds to an estimated AIR of 6,280–6,505, significantly limits admission opportunities, particularly for General category candidates, for whom most top and mid-tier NLUs remain out of reach. OBC candidates fare slightly better due to deeper cut-offs, allowing limited possibilities in select mid-tier NLUs. Meanwhile, SC and ST candidates retain comparatively strong prospects, as their category-wise closing ranks in most NLUs extend well beyond this range. Overall, while a 60-mark score restricts options for some categories, it still enables meaningful admission chances for candidates from reserved categories across several NLUs.

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.

Admission to LPU’s integrated BA-LLB or BBA-LLB requires a minimum 60% aggregate in 12th grade alongside a valid CLAT or LPUNEST score. Applicants with a CLAT rank up to 10,000 are typically eligible. Notably, the English subject requirement may be waived for students from English-medium backgrounds or those who studied English.
