Q&A Icon
Commonly asked questions
Q:   What is a bad rank in CLAT?
A: 

A bad rank in CLAT is relative and depends on factors like your category, the NLUs you target, and overall competition. For general category candidates, ranks above 15,000 to 20,000 are typically considered weak, reducing chances of admission into top or even mid-tier National Law Universities. For reserved categories, the threshold might be higher, but still, a rank significantly above the cutoff range may be viewed unfavorably. Ultimately, a "bad rank" hampers your chances of securing a coveted seat and may force you to consider alternative law schools or reattempt the exam in subsequent years. Improving your score remains essential.

A: 

The Consortium has announced the last date to submit the CLAT Application Form as October 31, 2026.

No, GLA University, Mathura BA LLB (hons) admission is not based on CLAT-UG scores.

Candidates can only apply for this course by appearing in GLAET and following interview round. 

There is no rule that allows candidates with valid CLAT-UG scores to skip GLAET and appear for PI round directly.
