The Consortium of National Law Universities (NLUs) starts CLAT 2027 registration on August 3, 2026, on the official website consortiumofnlus.ac.in. The online application process is for admission to participating National Law Universities’ undergraduate (five-year integrated LLB) and postgraduate (LLM) law programmes. Candidates apply using their email and mobile number, complete the form, upload required documents, and pay the prescribed fee, then download the confirmation page.

Sources agree the last date for applications is October 31, 2026. The CLAT 2027 computer-based test is scheduled for December 6, 2026, running from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm. The exam pattern and syllabus for CLAT 2027 are reported as unchanged. Fees are reported as ₹4,000 for general/OBC and ₹3,500 for reserved categories, with transaction charges applicable; the consortium also indicates the fee is non-refundable.

Several outlets also note that counselling follows the result and seat allotment is based on merit, category/reservation norms, and candidate preferences. NDTV adds that CLAT scores are accepted by 26 NLUs (and other affiliated institutions), while other reporting references a broader NLU participation count. Times of India also mentions an expert committee reviewing CLAT aspects and inviting public feedback.
