Hello Archi,

In order to answer your question, we need to understand the relationship between CLAT rank and CLAT marks, and how past year cut-offs can be indicative of the general trend. Usually, every year marks required to secure a particular rank changes and do not remain constant. Because of that reason, such trends can only indicate how the result of a particular year could be.

In the CLAT 2021 exam, the lowest accepted score to achieve a rank of 2040 in the general category was 74.25, while the same score could have enabled an aspirant to secure a rank between 900-1100 in the general category in CLAT 2020.

Going by the past trends, 49.5 marks in the general category offers very slim chances of getting an NLU. However, as mentioned earlier, the previous year's cut-offs are only indicative in nature, therefore, you may land into an NLU depending on the cut-offs of the present year.
