Master Rank: What eej it?

LISTEN. A master rank is not the same as All India Rank (AIR). You might be tied with a hundred people for the same rank. Each score has one rank. The rank increases by 1, the moment the score is reduced by 1.

For example : If you’re score is 101 and you get a master rank of 68. There might have been a thousand people getting the same score. All of them will get the master rank of 68. And all the people with the score of 100 will get a master rank of 69 and so on.

The highest score in CLAT 2011 is 173 and the Second highest is 170. So, the worst possible master rank would be ‘Rank 172’ which a candidate would get if he gets ‘0 marks’. The actual All India Rank List in PDF format will be put on the CLAT website by Tuesday. (Got to know it from WBNUJS on Phone)

  1. there seems to be a lot of confusion regarding master rank..here’s an explanation..suppose x has a master rank of 50, and he has scored 125 marks..it means that there are 49 no.s between 125 and 200 , which have been scored by people in the exam..each of these 49 no.s, maybe scored by one or more than one person..last year the highest score was 165, and final cutoff 140..which means people with master rank above 25 would have had no chance whatsoever…however, suppose, nobody scored 164 marks..and some one or the other scored each and every no. between 140 and 165 other than 164, then people with master rank greater than 24 would have stood no chance..hope it helps

  7. My score is 165…couldn’t even SEE the master rank…and in the All India Women’s General thingummy it says 3. Will someone please explain to me whether I have a shot at NLSIU or not? Because right now I’m incapable of thinking straight. And I HATE NUJS.Even the CPI(M) couldn’t give Bengal THIS bad a name :/

      Only if you have a score of above 120-125 will you get a decent college. AS it has been explained there will be around 10-50 people sitting on the same MASTER RANK.

      MASTER RANK is note your REAL RANK.

    • To Be frank, only counselling can confirm, no one can reply about this. You never know how many other got 71 rank in CLAT 2011

  58. sir AIMR-56 AND NRI RANKING 30 ne chance of making into NUJS or bhopal through nri quota? and wht do i expect from 56 as in which college/s? 

  59. sir….i got total 94 marks…….mah bihar general rank is 33 and aimr is 76…….is there any chances for me to get any law colleges…….

  60. sir,i have got 59 mrks n my AIMR is 110. & the gen.raj.rank is 84…do u hv any idea in which colg i will get???….

    • It is not possible to get any master rank beyond 200. (The max. marks of the clat paper). Say Rank 1 has 175. Then his/her AIMR is 1 and if after that marks..174 to 0 would be in AIMR order of 2 to 175. Each AIMR rank may be shared by hundreds. (And even 0 marks would be under 200 AIMR rank).

      I know this system is quite inane and only increases the anxiety of the candidates. As a BA LLB graduate from NALSAR, Hyderabad, I feel glad that in my days there was no such confusion and ranks were in general merit order. 🙂

    • Kirti, there cannot be lesser rank than 169 in CLAT 2011 ( if 169 is the highest score). Of course No thousands rank could happen when total marks of paper was 200

  66. Sir

    I am gettig a score of 124 and AIMR of 45. I belog to OBC category. CAn i expect NLU jodhpur BSc. LLB ( I am from science stream)

  69. So with the counselling that’s to take place, is it possible that they’ll be meting out the course per se and not the college as for previous batched- like they do in engineering?
    Would that also imply that not so good rank with okay course can get you good college?

      i say this because ive roughly the same marks as yours.

                      Is there a chance to get admission in any of the eleven colleges? 

  104. anyone one with Master Rank of more than 35 should study housecleaning, vacancies available . two tear course.
    Job assured. Best packages  in the profession.

    • :-O
      A little insensitive sir. I mean there are masses out here who’ve been up all night, been at their anxious best.
      Everyone has got the freedom to get across their point but do it in a way that’s not as cutting and sharp.
      Regards.

      • it is you who is ‘insensitive’, what is wrong with house cleaning. A clan house keeps the mind clean. it is also a profession.

    • Dude.. there are reservations in STATE and other categories… I’ve got AIMR 43 BUT i’ll still get HNLU…. You should not dishearten anyone….

  107. my AIMR is 120 and total score out of 200 is 49 . is there any chances of getting shot listed in any of participating nlus ????
    my all india general women rank is 115 . and my gujarat state general rank is 78 while the state gujarat gen women rank is 67 . is it possible to get selected for gnlu ???

  109. I’m thinking CLAT 2012 now. Call it premature, but for the shit we’ve endured, we deserve to think ahead. I hope Jodhpur won’t make the same mistake. It can’t. Nothing can top the legendary NUJS mess.
    I think I’m going to start preparing now. 

      • tworst eva CLATotally agreed…………NUJS has conducted d wrst eva CLAT………..dey jst destroyed us…………..

  110. Sir,my all india master rank is 50..& West Bengal state general rank is 24..Total 119 n 20 in Legal Aptitude..Ne chance of getting thru??..:P..

  113. My score is 76 . According to the Master rank , my rank will be 97 , but it was 93. Why so .
    Is there any change in getting into RMLNLU, lucknow .
    UP General – 69
    UP General Women – 60
    UP (SC) rank – 22
    UP (SC) Rank (Women) – 16  

  115. is there anybody who has not got any air rank…if no that means only first 10 ranks which has a probability of a hundred students per rank will have some chances to make it to nlu’s then why r they giving rest of the ranks at all.
    does anybody know when these buggers will put the merit list….

    • TU TO BHUL JAA CLAT KEHTE KISE HAIN…… AIMR 90 HAIN …….NAWAAB SAALE CLAT KI PADHAI KARTA THA YA BANK KI……… KAHAN REHTA HAI GHAR AAUNGA TERE  CLAT PADHANE

    • Moderator, are you sleeping? Shut out this foul mouthed dude! And whoever named him “Prateek” made a big mistake 😉

  127. Got 146 marks with a master rank of 23. 
    Anyways , its pretty good for a guy who had studied for 2 hours before the exam and had no clue what so ever as to what is Legal Aptitude 3 hours before the paper !!! 

    Guys , last year cutoff for NALSAR was 148. This year paper was tougher so should drop.

      • yeah.. i’m a quizzer so GK was simple , and so were english , maths , and logical.. Legal Aptitude was  struggle and the lengthy paper made it difficult..

    • Irrespective of how difficult the paper was, the cutoff will probably go up if anything going by the pattern (last year’s highest was 165, this year’s 173 and 165 is AIMR 5, so)

      • Studying 2 hours before the entrance. And. Gettiing a whopping 143.
        Says a lot about many things. I feel sad for myself and other luckless people here.

          • i guess this was tht type of an exam which needed ZERO preperation.. coz d stuff we banged our brainz wid din’t rly showed up !! lol 

  129. AIMR 59

        • aree yaar with a score of 170 also u r worried…..NLSIU toh pakka hai.don’t worry.
          btw wat was ur legal score?/

          • My legal score 40, logical 43, english 39, dumps in maths 11 since I strategically ignored it and pushed to the end.

          • Thanks. Can u throw light if I should opt for NLS or NALSAR ???? THERE ARE SO MANY CONFLICTINNG REPORTS AND PERCEPTIONS. But, what is the reality??

            • Vasanth. This is a public forum and you shouldn’t decide and take what people say is good. Don’t you agree? Some one might just come and say NLU Jodhpur!! Maybe because he’s a student of NLU Jodhpur. So…

              • both are eqully good. but see the facts n decide… and u being from hyd, nalsar should be gud for u.
                btw, congo man,,,, rank 2 is like wwwwooooowww! hehe

  151. sir,i have got 76 marks and aimr93 in clat 2011 with a bihar state general rank of 50 .can i get cnlu patna?

  152. i hav scored 66 air, with a score of 103
    i scored very high marks in legal aptitude and reasoning..
    i am genral category student…. do i have any chance of getting a seat ??

    does other government colleges take admissions on the basis of clat rank ??
    if yes, then please mention the name of colleges… 🙁

  155. Folks refer the url for last year addmission chart http://www.legallyindia.com/20100531901/Law-schools/93-per-cent-clat-toppers-opt-nls-nalsar-nujs-next-in-age-old-pecking-order .
    Based on this last year cutoff score was 136. As some are referring this years patter was changed/questions were tough…and if this is true then this year it might go little bit below…so anyone with a score of below 125-130 will most likely not get a seat. My neice got 126 and we are having very low hope based on last year’s chart …but are keeping crossed the finger 🙂
