CLAT 2027: Application deadline extended; forms can now be submitted until November 7; check the complete process..
The Consortium of National Law Universities has extended the application deadline for the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) 2027 by one week. Students aspiring to pursue legal studies can now submit their applications online until 11:59 PM on November 7, 2026. The previous deadline for submission was October 31. This extension applies to both undergraduate and postgraduate courses. Candidates who have not yet applied will now have the opportunity to complete their forms within this additional time. Applications can be submitted via the official website, consortiumofnlus.ac.in.
How to complete the application?
Candidates must visit the official website to fill out the online application form. Ensure that all requested information is entered accurately, and verify all details before submission. It is also mandatory to pay the prescribed examination fee before the deadline. Incomplete applications or those for which the fee has not been successfully paid will not be considered. Candidates should keep their necessary documents and information handy while applying. Once the form is submitted, it is advisable to retain a copy of the application and the fee payment receipt for future reference.
When and how will the exam be conducted?
CLAT 2027 is scheduled to be held on December 6, 2026, from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. The examination will be conducted in an offline mode—using pen and paper—at designated centers across the country. There has been no change to the examination date. After completing their applications, candidates will have a limited amount of time for preparation; therefore, they should keep the exam date in mind when planning their studies. It is essential to regularly check the official website for updates regarding admit cards, examination centers, and further information related to the admission process.
Which courses does CLAT provide admission to?
CLAT is a national-level entrance examination conducted for admission to law programs across 26 National Law Universities in the country. This process facilitates admission to the five-year integrated undergraduate law program and the one-year postgraduate law program for the 2027–28 academic session. The undergraduate program is open to students who have completed their 12th-grade education, while the postgraduate program is designed for those pursuing advanced legal studies. Before applying, candidates should review the official notification to verify their eligibility and the details of their chosen program.
Exam Structure and Marking Scheme
The CLAT undergraduate question paper will consist of 120 multiple-choice questions, divided into five sections: English Language, Current Affairs and General Knowledge, Legal Reasoning, Logical Reasoning, and Quantitative Techniques. Each correct answer will be awarded one mark, while 0.25 marks will be deducted for every incorrect answer. The exam structure and syllabus remain unchanged. Candidates should prepare for all sections, focusing on effective time management and accuracy when answering questions. It is advisable to approach the questions with the negative marking policy in mind.
