How to apply for CLAT 2027

Candidates need to register on the website with their basic details, fill in the application form, upload the required documents, choose their exam cities and pay the fee. Aspirants should check every entry before the final submission, because the Consortium and the NLUs take no responsibility for wrong or incomplete information.

The Consortium extended the deadline last year as well. The CLAT 2026 cutoff moved from October 31 to November 7, 2025, and the exam took place on December 7. It was also extended in the 2025 and 2024 cycles, but each extension has been announced only close to the closing date, so it is risky to count on one.

Candidates who have already applied do not need to do anything. Those who haven't should finish the form well before the new date, since the website tends to slow down in the final days.
