60 marks out of 300 in AU LAT 2026 equals 20% of the total score — this falls well below the expected General category cutoff of around 180–190 marks based on 2023 trends, but may still be a qualifying score for ST and, in later rounds, SC category students.
AU LAT 2026 is scheduled for June 27, 2026 for admission to the 3-year LLB programme at the University of Allahabad and its constituent colleges. The paper has 150 MCQ questions with 2 marks each and no negative marking, totalling 300 marks. If you have scored 60 marks, understanding your expected rank and realistic admission chances across categories is essential before counselling begins.

AU LAT 2026 Marks and Scoring at a Glance
Before reading your score of 60 against the competition, it helps to understand the exact structure of the AU LAT 2026 paper. The exam has three sections — Language Comprehension, General Awareness and Current Affairs, and Reasoning, Mental Ability and Legal Aptitude — each carrying 100 marks. With 2 marks per question and no penalty for wrong answers, 60 marks means approximately 30 questions answered correctly.
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Total Questions | 150 (50 per section) |
| Marks per Question | 2 |
| Total Marks | 300 |
| Negative Marking | None |
| Your Score (60 marks) | 20% of total (approx. 30 correct answers) |
| Minimum Qualifying — General | 30 marks |
| Minimum Qualifying — OBC | 27 marks |
| Minimum Qualifying — SC/ST | No prescribed minimum |
| Total LLB 3-Year Seats (AU + constituent colleges) | 975 |
60 marks clears the minimum qualifying threshold for every category. However, the actual admission cutoff — the mark at which all seats fill — is far higher for General, EWS, and OBC students based on historical AU LAT data.
60 Marks in AU LAT 2026 — Expected Overall Rank
AU LAT rank is determined strictly by marks scored in the 300-mark paper. With 60 marks, your expected overall rank in AU LAT 2026 is approximately 15,000–22,000, based on estimated applicant volume and score distribution from the 2023–2024 cycles. The actual rank will be published on the official university portal after the result. These are expected figures; difficulty level and total appearing students in 2026 will determine the final rank.
| Score Range (out of 300) | Expected Overall Rank (Approx.) | Score as % of Total |
|---|---|---|
| 260–300 | 1–100 | 87%–100% |
| 220–259 | 100–500 | 73%–86% |
| 180–219 | 500–2,500 | 60%–73% |
| 140–179 | 2,500–7,000 | 47%–60% |
| 100–139 | 7,000–13,000 | 33%–46% |
| 60–99 | 13,000–22,000 | 20%–33% |
| 30–59 | 22,000–30,000+ | 10%–20% |
All rank figures are expected estimates based on 2023–2024 AU LAT trends. Official ranks will be declared after the AU LAT 2026 result on allduniv.ac.in.
Category-wise Rank Estimate for 60 Marks
Along with an overall merit list, AU LAT prepares separate category-wise rank lists. Your category rank is what counts during counselling for reserved seats. Students with 60 marks have significantly better prospects in the ST and SC category rank lists compared to the general merit list, where the historical cutoff is around 180 marks.
| Category | Expected Category Rank at 60 Marks | Expected Cutoff at 60 Marks | Admission Likelihood |
|---|---|---|---|
| General (UR) | 8,000–12,000 | ~180–190 marks | Very unlikely |
| EWS | 2,000–3,500 | ~175–185 marks | Very unlikely |
| OBC | 3,000–5,000 | ~155–170 marks | Unlikely |
| SC | 800–1,500 | ~80–100 marks | Borderline — possible in Round 2+ |
| ST | 200–500 | ~50–70 marks | Likely to qualify in Round 1 |
Category-wise cutoff figures are expected estimates based on previous year AU LAT trends. Official category cutoffs are released on the university counselling portal after results are declared.
AU LAT Previous Year Cutoff Trends
Tracking how cutoffs have moved over years helps set realistic expectations. The General category cutoff for AU LAT has stayed in a narrow band across rounds, reflecting a consistent applicant pool competing for 975 LLB seats. The 2026 cutoff is expected to follow the same pattern in the 180–190 marks range for General students.
| Year | General — Round 1 Cutoff | General — Round 2 Cutoff | Total Marks |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 187 | 184 | 300 |
| 2024 | ~185 (based on trends) | ~181 (based on trends) | 300 |
| 2026 (Expected) | 180–192 | 175–187 | 300 |
The minimum qualifying mark for General category students is 30 out of 300 — far below the actual admission cutoff. This means that while 60 marks clears the eligibility bar, it does not come close to the marks needed for a General seat. For SC students, the expected cutoff range of 80–100 makes 60 marks borderline; for ST students where the expected cutoff is 50–70, 60 marks is within reach.
Law Courses You Can Get with 60 Marks in AU LAT 2026
AU LAT 2026 is the gateway exclusively to the 3-year LLB programme at the University of Allahabad and its constituent colleges. The BA LLB (5-year integrated) programme at Allahabad University follows a separate admission process and is not covered by AU LAT. With 60 marks, course access depends entirely on your category.
| Course | Duration | Admission via AU LAT | Chance at 60 Marks |
|---|---|---|---|
| LLB (3-year) | 3 years | Yes — primary purpose of AU LAT | ST: Likely | SC: Borderline in later rounds | OBC/General/EWS: Unlikely |
| BA LLB (5-year Integrated) | 5 years | No — separate admission process | Not applicable via AU LAT |
| LLM | 2 years | No — separate postgraduate entrance | Not applicable via AU LAT |
ST category students with 60 marks are expected to fall within the qualifying range for the LLB 3-year programme, based on previous year cutoff trends. SC category students should participate in counselling and track each round — seats that go unfilled in Round 1 become accessible in Round 2 at lower cutoffs. General, EWS, and OBC category students at 60 marks will likely fall outside the qualifying cutoff for this year’s LLB admission.
What to Do After Scoring 60 Marks in AU LAT 2026
Your next steps depend on which category you belong to:
- ST category students: Register for AU LAT 2026 counselling on the official portal. Your score of 60 marks is expected to be within the qualifying range based on past trends. Fill seat choices for Allahabad University and all constituent colleges to maximise your options.
- SC category students: Wait for the Round 1 cutoff announcement after results. If Round 1 does not clear, stay registered for Round 2 and subsequent rounds — the cutoff drops with each round as vacant seats are redistributed.
- General, EWS, and OBC students: At 60 marks, admission through AU LAT 2026 is highly unlikely based on historical cutoffs. You may consider retaking AU LAT in the next cycle with a stronger preparation plan targeting 180+ marks, or exploring LLB admission through other state-level law entrance examinations.
