The Consortium of National Law Universities (NLUs) has released the final answer key for the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) 2026. This is a key update for all students who appeared for the undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) CLAT 2026 examinations. Students can now check and download the answer key from the official website: consortiumofnlus.ac.in .
CLAT is a national-level entrance exam for students aiming to join top law colleges across India. The exam helps students get admission to five-year integrated BA LLB, BBA LLB, B.Sc LLB courses (UG level) and one-year LLM courses (PG level). The final answer key allows students to compare their answers with the correct ones. This helps them estimate their scores before the official results are announced and understand their performance.
The CLAT 2026 provisional answer key was first released on December 10, 2025 . After this, students had a short time to raise objections if they found any errors. This objection window closed on December 12, 2025 . The Consortium then reviewed all received objections. After this review, they prepared and released this final answer key. This key contains the definitive correct answers for all questions.
It is important for all candidates, whether for UG or PG law courses, to check the correct set of the answer key. The Consortium has provided different answer keys for various question paper sets (like Set A, Set B, Set C, Set D). Students must match the downloaded answer key to the specific question paper set they received during their exam.
