what is the marks needed to clear PG CLAT exam?
Hi,
General category candidates must fix a target score of around 110 and above in order to get admission to the top NLUs. Reserved category students must keep a goal of scoring 90 and above in CLAT in order to get admission at an NLU.

If you are aiming to get a seat in NLSIU Bangalore, nothing is enough. You need to score at least 100 out of 150 to get a chance for admission. However, a relatively easy CLAT paper than that of last year may push the cut off higher. For the matter of fact, most of the candidates who get a rank under 100 give their first preference to NLSIU Bangalore which offers around 92 seats for general category candidates.
One has to secure a rank under 470 (approx) to ensure a seat in top 5 NLUs. Converting 460 ranks in marks means the candidate has to score more than 83 marks out of 150.
Not all national law universities are considered good. One should check the CLAT cut off of top 10 NLUs to develop a clear understanding.
Category reservation plays a crucial role in deciding seat allotment. Those getting benefits of category reservation will be at a relative advantage. For example - a general category candidate (without any horizontal reservation) had to score at least 92.75 marks (CLAT UG rank - 97) to get a seat in NLSIU Bangalore. Whereas, SC candidates could get admission in the same institute with 71.75 marks (CLAT UG rank - 1978).
