The deadline to complete your CLAT 2026 counselling registration and pay the fees is December 27, 2025 . Make sure you register before this date to be considered for admission. You can also download your CLAT 2026 Scorecard from the same website after logging in.
What is CLAT Counselling?
CLAT counselling is an online system that helps students get admission to the National Law Universities (NLUs). After taking the CLAT exam, students use this online process to apply for seats in their preferred law colleges. The Consortium of National Law Universities manages this entire system. It helps to match students with college seats based on their CLAT scores and the choices they make.
This counselling process is completely online. This means you do most of the steps – like registering, uploading documents, and choosing colleges – from your home. You do not need to visit any centre during the online registration or choice filling. However, please remember that after you get a seat, you will need to go to the college for actual document checking.
The CLAT counselling for 2026 will happen in five different rounds . This multi-round approach gives students more opportunities to get a seat they want. It is crucial to check the official website regularly for updates on each round and the seat allotment results.
