No, regrettably, a 65 percentile on the CLAT exam will not get you into the B.A. LL.B programme at Calcutta University's Faculty of Law.

According to the most recent admission requirements and prior cutoffs, the minimum CLAT percentile needed to be admitted to the Faculty of Law, CU for a B.A. LL.B. is:

1. For candidates in the general category: 90+ percentile
2. For candidates who are SC/ST: 55+ percentile
3. 65+ percentile for candidates who are OBC or PWD

Thus, the cutoff for applicants in the general category is above the 90th percentile, which is fairly high. Only the reserved OBC/PWD category's relaxed cutoff is met by your 65 percentile score.

The number of seats and cutoff ranks determine admission even for reserved candidates. For the general category, the minimum percentile is higher.

I would advise you to try raising your CLAT score.
