How to read these predictions
Predicted ranges are based on CLAT 2026 actuals plus a ±10% adjustment for paper difficulty variance. Actual cutoffs may fall outside this range if the 2027 paper is significantly easier or harder than expected.
For category candidates, the same methodology applies — add the typical OBC/SC/ST/EWS spread to the General cutoff for a rough estimate.

Frequently Asked Questions
When will CLAT 2027 cutoffs be announced?
This will be updated once the official CLAT 2027 cutoffs are released by the Consortium — typically within 2–3 weeks of the exam result.
How reliable are expected cutoffs?
Expected cutoffs are based on historical data plus paper difficulty estimates. Accuracy is typically within ±20 ranks of the actual figure.
Will cutoffs increase or decrease in 2027?
Depends on candidate count and paper difficulty. If the paper is harder than 2026, cutoff scores (marks) will drop but rank cutoffs may stay similar. We will update this page once actual data is available.
