CLAT 2026 Seat Allotment Process Explained
The CLAT 2026 seat allotment process is conducted in multiple counselling rounds by the Consortium of National Law Universities (NLUs) to fill available seats across participating law schools. Seat allotment is done based on a candidate’s CLAT rank, choice preferences filled during counselling, category reservation, and seat availability in each round.
After every counselling round, the consortium releases a merit or allotment list. Candidates who are allotted seats must accept the seat, pay the required admission or confirmation fee, and complete document verification within the given deadline. If a candidate chooses to upgrade, their seat may be reconsidered in the next round based on availability and higher preferences.
Seats that remain vacant due to non-reporting, withdrawal, or upgradation are carried forward to the next counselling round. This process continues until all seats are filled or the counselling rounds are completed. Candidates are advised to closely follow the instructions and timelines issued by the consortium to secure their admission.
What After CLAT 2026 Second Merit List?
After the CLAT 2026 second merit list, candidates must take prompt action based on their selection status. Those whose names appear in the list are required to accept the allotted seat, complete the fee payment, and report to the assigned National Law University (NLU) for document verification within the deadline set by the Consortium of NLUs. Failure to complete these steps may lead to cancellation of the allotted seat.
Candidates who are waitlisted or not selected in the second round should not lose hope. They can wait for subsequent counselling rounds, as seats may become available due to withdrawals, non-reporting or seat upgrades by other candidates. Such candidates are advised to regularly check the official CLAT website for further merit lists and updates.
