The CLAT 2026 registration process requires students to login to the website using their required credentials. Without the credentials, students will not be able to register and appear for the CLAT examination. Forgetting these credentials is a common mistake made by students during the registration process for CLAT or even when attempting to download the admit card before the examination as well . This article highlights how students can retrieve their CLAT exam usernames and passwords to avoid any problems later on. It also highlights how students can avoid forgetting their credentials later down the line to avoid the hassle of retrieving them as well.

CLAT Credential Retrieving Guide

Retrieving the credentials for the CLAT exam can seem to be a difficult process. However, the process can be significantly less complicated than what students may expect it to be. Provided below are simple step-by-step guides for how students can retrieve their CLAT exam credentials which are mainly a student’s username and password. Following the steps provided below will help ensure students face minimum hassle when attempting to retrieve their credentials for the examination.

The guide for retrieving a student’s credentials for the CLAT exam is as follows:

CLAT Username Retrieving Overview

Listed below is a simple process for how students can retrieve their CLAT username in case they forget it. The steps are as follows:

  1. Students must first visit the official CLAT consortium website at consortiumofnlus.ac.in.
  2. After selecting the CLAT login tab, they must find the ‘Forgot Username’ link that is under the credential input interface and select it.
  3. Upon doing so, a new page will load. Students will be required to enter their registered email address or phone number, whichever was linked to the student’s CLAT account. After choosing between the two, the ‘Verify’ option must be selected.
  4. If students chose their email address, a code will be sent to that specific email address. In case of choosing the registered phone number, an OTP message will be sent to the student’s phone number. The code must be entered to verify the student’s identity.
  5. After the verification process has concluded, a new page will open where students will have to choose the ‘Reset Username’ option.
  6. Pressing the option will take students to a new page where they will be able to create a new username. After re-entering the new username and creating a password for the same, students must select the ‘Change Username’ option to confirm the change.

Upon doing so, a student’s username will be successfully reset with a new password to use as well. A confirmation message will be sent to the same registered email address/ phone number confirming the same.
