How is the CLAT 2026 Merit List Prepared?
The CLAT merit list is prepared for each round of counselling for admission into each of the participating NLUs in CLAT. Candidates are included in the merit list as per their ranks, which are determined by the marks obtained by them in CLAT. It is therefore important for a candidate to understand the CLAT marks vs rank comparison to ascertain their chances of admission.
The candidates are also arranged according to the category they belong to. Another factor that influences the candidate’s inclusion in the CLAT merit list for any particular NLU is whether the candidate has opted for that NLU when submitting the NLU preferences.
