CLAT 2027 score calculator

The answer key releases after the exam on 6 December 2026 — check back. Until the Consortium publishes one, this calculator has nothing to score against, and it will not invent a key to fill the gap. The marking scheme it will use when the key lands is already fixed: +1 for a correct answer, -0.25 for a wrong one, 0 for a blank.

Dates and patterns move. Your score is the part you control. The free Diagnostic Test is a full-length paper on the current pattern, with a section-wise breakdown.

What is not confirmed yet, as at 23 September 2026

  • The CLAT 2027 answer key. Not released. The data file is empty on purpose.
  • Provisional key and objection window dates. Not notified.
  • Score-to-rank data. None on file, so no rank estimate is offered anywhere on this site.

Get your score and rank estimate by email

Optional. Leave your email and you will get one message when the CLAT 2027 answer key is out, and a second if and when there is enough verified score-to-rank data to estimate a rank honestly. If that data never materialises, you will be told that rather than sent a guess.

Your details are used only to send the download. No spam. No sale to third parties.

The answer key is released after the exam on 6 December 2026 — check back

There is no CLAT 2027 answer key yet, so there is nothing for this calculator to score against. The paper is sat on 6 December 2026; the Consortium publishes a provisional key afterwards, opens a window for objections, and then a final key.

This page will not show you an estimated score in the meantime. Some sites publish a "predicted" key before the paper is even sat. A wrong key is worse than no key, because a student acts on it — decides whether to raise an objection, whether to plan a second attempt, which universities to hope for.

The moment the key is out it goes into data/answer-keys/clat-2027.json with a link to the Consortium PDF it came from, and this page becomes a working calculator. The marking scheme it will use is already set: +1 for a correct answer, -0.25 for a wrong one, 0 for one left blank.

What you can do now

Sit a full-length paper under exam conditions and score that instead. The free Diagnostic Test is 120 questions in 120 minutes, marked on the same scheme, with a section-wise and timing breakdown at the end. It costs nothing and needs no card.

That gives you the thing a score calculator gives you in December — a number you can plan against — several weeks earlier, when there is still time to act on it.

If you want the rest of the cycle mapped out, the CLAT 2027 hub runs from registration through counselling with the confirmed dates separated from the estimated ones.

Frequently asked questions

How is the CLAT score calculated?

One mark for each correct answer and 0.25 deducted for each incorrect one. Questions left unanswered neither gain nor cost anything. With 120 questions, the maximum is 120.

When is the CLAT 2027 answer key released?

After the paper, which is sat on 6 December 2026. The Consortium publishes a provisional key, opens an objection window, and later a final key. No date for either has been notified for this cycle.

Does this calculator work before the answer key is out?

No, and it will not pretend to. Until the Consortium publishes a key there is nothing to score against, so the page says so instead of producing a number from a key someone has guessed at.

Is my data sent anywhere?

No. The calculation runs in your browser. The email field, if you use it, is the only thing that leaves your device, and only if you submit it.

Can this predict my rank?

Not yet. A rank estimate needs score-to-rank data from previous years, and none is on file — see data/score-rank/README.md for what would count as a valid source. Until there is, no rank estimate is offered.
