The **Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) 2026** answer key objection window has officially closed. The CLAT exam is a national entrance test for students wishing to join top law colleges across India. Students who took the CLAT 2026 exam had until **December 12, 2025**, at **5 PM** to challenge the provisional answer key. The Consortium of National Law Universities (CNLUs) manages this important exam process. It will soon release the **CLAT 2026 final answer key** on its official website, **consortiumofnlus.ac.in**.
Objection Process and Fee
After the provisional answer key was released, students had a chance to review it. They could log in to the official CLAT website to submit objections against any incorrect answers they found. Each objection required supporting proof. For CLAT 2026, the fee to raise an objection was **INR 500** per question. This fee was reduced from **INR 1000** in previous years to ease the financial burden on students. Students whose objections are found correct by the expert panel will get their **INR 500** fee back. The expert panel from the Consortium is now reviewing all submitted objections to ensure the final answers are accurate and fair.

Now that the objection window is closed, the next important step is the release of the **CLAT 2026 final answer key**. The Consortium has not yet announced an exact date for this. However, based on past exam trends, the final answer key is expected to be published within a few days.
