How is CLAT Rank calculated?
Candidates can check the CLAT Rank through these steps to understand which NLU they can get.
- Calculating the Raw Score
Based on the marking scheme, i.e., one mark for a correct answer and -0.25 for each wrong attempt, the raw score is calculated. For example, if a candidate answers 100 questions correctly and 20 incorrectly out of 150, the score will be
Raw Score = (100 × 1) – (20 × 0.25) = 100 – 5 = 95
- Merit List
The consortium will then prepare a merit list based on the raw scores of all candidates. The one with the highest score will be marked Rank 1 and so on.
- Tie-breaking Rule
In case, two or more candidates score the same marks in CLAT 2027, the consortium will follow the sequence given below to decide the merit rank:
| CLAT Exam | Tie-breaker Rule |
