How CLAT 2027 Score is Calculated
CLAT 2027 scores are calculated on 120 questions, in which 1 mark is awarded for a correct answer and 0.25 marks are deducted for every wrong answer in both UG and PG papers.
| CLAT Score Formula: (Correct Answers x 1) - (Wrong Answers x 0.25) |
Candidates can estimate their CLAT 2027 score through the steps below:
- Step 1: Download the Provisional Answer Key
Candidates need to download the provisional answer key from the CLAT login, expected around December 9, 2026.
- Step 2: Match Each Response
Candidates should check every marked option against the key and sort all 120 questions into correct, wrong and unattempted.
- Step 3: Add Marks for Correct Answers
Each correct answer adds 1 mark, which keeps the maximum score at 120 for both UG and PG.
- Step 4: Deduct Marks for Wrong Answers
Candidates must subtract 0.25 for each wrong answer, so 4 wrong answers cancel the mark earned from 1 correct answer.
- Step 5: Leave Unattempted Questions at Zero
Unattempted questions neither add nor cut marks, so they need no adjustment in the total.
- Step 6: Remove Withdrawn Questions
Candidates have to drop any question withdrawn in the final key, as the 2025 UG paper was scored on 116 questions after 4 were removed.
CLAT Score Calculation Example
Example 1: Suppose a UG candidate attempted 104 questions, with 92 correct, 12 wrong and 16 left unattempted.
- Marks for correct answers: 92 x 1 = 92
- Deduction for wrong answers: 12 x 0.25 = 3
- Final score: 92 minus 3 = 89 out of 120
Hence, the candidate's final score is 89.

Ques. Is the CLAT PG score calculated the same way as UG?
Ans. Yes, CLAT PG 2027 uses the same +1 and minus 0.25 scheme across 120 questions. In 2025, the answer key for 8 PG questions was changed before scoring.
CLAT 2027 Tie-Breaker Rule
The CLAT 2027 tie-breaker rule works differently for UG and PG since the official instructions set out a separate order for each paper.
- UG ties go first to the Legal Aptitude score, a section that carries 28 to 32 of the 120 UG questions.
- PG ties skip the section check and go straight to age since the PG paper has a single section.
| Tie-Break Order | CLAT UG 2027 | CLAT PG 2027 |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | Higher marks in Legal Aptitude | Higher age |
| 2nd | Higher age | Computerised draw of lots |
| 3rd | Computerised draw of lots | No third step |

Ques. Which section breaks a tie in the CLAT result?
Ans. Legal Aptitude breaks the first tie in the CLAT UG result. The PG result has no section-level tie-breaker.
Ques. Does age matter in the CLAT 2027 tie-breaker rule?

CLAT Marks vs Rank 2027
A score of 100+ marks in CLAT 2027 is expected to put candidates in the top 100 ranks based on previous years' score trends.

Ques. Is 75 a good score in CLAT 2026?
Ans. Yes, 75 is a fair CLAT score that falls in the 3,500 to 7,000 rank band. It can lead to mid-tier and lower-tier NLUs, though the top NLUs close well before rank 1,000.
Ques. Is 90 marks good in CLAT?
