CLAT Passing Marks Out of 120 

For CLAT 2024, no specific passing mark criteria are set by the Consortium of NLUs. Instead, candidates are selected purely on their CLAT rank list.

The allotment of NLUs is determined by a combination of merit and your preferences. It's worth noting that the exam pattern has undergone some changes this year.

In light of these changes, we can reasonably anticipate that all those who secure a score of 80 or above stand a good chance of securing a spot in their desired NLU.

CLAT Final Answer Key 2024

The CLAT consortium will wait until the objection window closes before unveiling the final answer key.

Another approach they might take is to announce any modifications to the provisional answer key rather than issuing a completely new revised key.

Once all is said and done, the CLAT result will be calculated based on the candidate's scores in accordance with this final answer key.
