Process of Counselling: -

For admission to undergraduate and graduate legal program at various NLUs throughout India, the Consortium of National Law Universities (CNLU) administers the CLAT (Common Law Admission Test).

The following steps are part of the CLAT counselling process:

·       Online Registration: Applicants who pass the CLAT must register online for the counselling session on the Consortium of National Law Universities' official website.

·       Choice Filling and Locking: Upon registration, candidates must fill in and lock their preferred colleges and courses.

·       Seat Allocation: The candidate's CLAT score, preferred colleges and courses, and the number of available seats are taken into consideration during the seat allocation procedure. A provisional admission letter will be given to applicants to whom a seat has been assigned.

·       Verification of Documents: Applicants who have been given a seat must go to the appropriate reporting centre to have their documents checked. All necessary documents must be carried by candidates in original form and as photocopies.

·       Acceptance of Seat: Applicants who are offered a seat must confirm their acceptance within the designated time frame and pay the entrance fee.

·       Applicants who have accepted their seats must report to the institute on the designated date and time for additional admissions procedures.

It is crucial for applicants to follow the counselling schedule and stay informed of any new details released by the CLAT conducting authorities. To ensure a simple and hassle-free counselling session, candidates should also have all necessary documentation and adhere to the counselling standards.
