CLAT 2027: Submit application by October 31; correction window expected after

The Consortium of National Law Universities (NLUs) is anticipated to open the CLAT 2027 Application Form Correction Window following the closure of the registration period. While official dates are yet to be announced as of October 19, 2026, the correction window is expected to commence after October 31, 2026, with November 2, 2026, being a possible opening date.

This window will allow candidates to review and modify permitted details in their submitted application forms for admission to 5-year LLB and LLM programmes at participating National Law Universities. The CLAT 2027 registration process, which began on August 3, 2026, is set anyway on October 31, 2026, at 11:59 PM.

CLAT 2027 Application Deadlines and Fees

Candidates are required to complete their CLAT 2027 application submission and fee payment by the October 31, 2026 deadline. The application fee varies by category, with General, OBC, PwD, NRI, PIO, and OCI candidates paying ₹4,000. For SC, ST, and BPL candidates, the fee is ₹3,500. This application fee is non-refundable and non-adjustable. An optional add-on for previous years’ question papers is available for ₹500.

Once an application is submitted and paid, candidates cannot change their chosen program, category, or BPL field. The Consortium of NLUs will not entertain requests for changes to these specific fields in the application form.

Examination Schedule and Test Centre Updates

The CLAT 2027 examination is scheduled to be conducted in offline mode on Sunday, December 6, 2026, from 2:00 P.M. to 4:00 P.M. For eligible PwD candidates, the exam duration will be extended to 4:40 P.M. The CLAT 2027 notification was released on July 22, 2026, confirming that the exam pattern and syllabus remain unchanged, comprising 120 questions across five sections to be completed in two hours.

A significant update for candidates concerns the test centre city list. Vellore and Tiruvarur have been removed from the CLAT 2027 test centre options. Candidates who had initially selected either of these cities must update their test centre preference by October 31, 2026. The Consortium expects approximately 131 CLAT exam centres across 89 cities in 25 states and 5 Union Territories.

Application Process and Document Requirements

To apply for CLAT 2027, candidates must register on the official CLAT website, consortiumofnlus.ac.in, using a personal mobile number and e-mail ID. Required documents for upload include a front-facing passport-size recent photograph, signature, and category certificates if applicable. These documents must be in PDF format, with specific size limits: photograph up to 500 KB, signature up to 100 KB, and State of Domicile Certificate up to 1.5 MB. The photograph and signature do not require attestation during the online application submission.

Candidates are advised to submit only one online application form. If multiple forms are filled, only the last one will be considered, and any fees paid for previous applications will not be refunded. Foreign Nationals are not eligible to appear for CLAT 2027. The result of the qualifying examination (10+2) must be submitted at the time of admission.
