The Consortium of National Law Universities removes Vellore and Tiruvarur from the test centre city list for the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) 2027. Candidates who had selected either city are asked to change their preferred test centre to an alternative option.

The Consortium issues the relevant notification on September 3, 2026. As reported by outlets, affected candidates must update their preferences through their CLAT accounts rather than submitting a fresh application. The deadline given is October 31, 2026. Candidates are advised to log in, use the “Edit Application Form” option, and update the “Test Centre Preference” from the dropdown, then save or submit the change.

While coverage focuses mainly on the two city removals, it also highlights practical next steps and support details. One report provides additional guidance on the update process and includes helpdesk contact information, including available hours and email/phone options for assistance. Overall, all accounts direct candidates to complete the change by the stated deadline to avoid issues with their CLAT 2027 application.
