KLEE Qualifying Marks and Results
Updated November 2026.
Qualifying marks
To be included in the KLEE rank list, a candidate must score the minimum qualifying marks:
| Category | Minimum marks |
|---|---|
| General and SEBC | 10% – 36 out of 360 |
| SC and ST | 5% – 18 out of 360 |
Qualifying is not the same as getting a seat. Seats are allotted by rank, so a Government Law College seat needs a score far above the qualifying mark. Because of negative marking, accuracy matters as much as the number of questions you attempt.
