Maharashtra National Law University (MNLU) Mumbai revises its CLAT 2027 reservation rules, adding new transgender and orphan reservation provisions for both undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) admissions. All outlets provided say the changes are reflected in the university’s updated reservation criteria/seat matrix, and applicants are told to update their reservation details within a set deadline.
Across coverage, the key procedural message is that candidates must check the updated seat matrix or brochure and adjust their category information in the CLAT application. NDTV and Times of India both state the new provisions include 1% seats for transgender candidates and 1% for orphans, while Free Press Journal confirms the new categories are added for UG and PG but does not specify the seat percentages. Times of India also reiterates the CLAT 2027 exam schedule.
Overall, the outlets agree on the substance of the reservation-category additions and the October 31, 2026 update deadline, with differences mainly in how much detail is provided on the exam timing and whether the new-seat percentages are explicitly mentioned.
