After receiving a seat allotment, candidates have to choose one among the freeze, float, and exit options. Depending on the option they choose, they also have to pay the prescribed confirmation fee and the NLU fees for the allotted university. The details are given below.
Freeze: Candidates who are satisfied with their allotted NLU and those who have got their first NLU preference must select the “Confirm” option. Such candidates have to pay the confirmation fee of Rs 20000 and the university fee before the stipulated deadline.
Float: Candidates who did not get their first NLU preference and those who are not satisfied with the allotted NLU, but want to remain in the admission process for a chance of admission into their higher preference NLU, can choose the float option. Such candidates have to pay the confirmation fee of Rs 20000 and the university fee before the stipulated deadline.
Exit: Candidates who do not wish to obtain seat allotment and want to exit the admission process can choose the exit option. Such candidates do not have to pay the confirmation fee or the university fees.

On Question asked by student community
If you are expecting around 80 marks in CLAT 2026, your chances will mainly depend on that year’s overall difficulty level and how the marks translate into ranks. In most years, a score around 80 usually places candidates somewhere in the mid-rank range, which means that the top NLUs like NLSIU Bengaluru, NALSAR Hyderabad or WBNUJS Kolkata are generally difficult to get at this score. However, some of the newer or mid-tier NLUs may still be possible depending on cut-offs, reservation category, and seat availability during later rounds. Students with similar scores in past years have sometimes received calls from NLUs such as NLU Jabalpur, NLU Assam, NLU Tripura, NLU Aurangabad, or NLU Shimla, but the exact possibilities shift every year. Treat this score as competitive but not in the top bracket, and wait for the official ranks to get a clearer picture of which options are realistically open. All the best!
Hello aspirant,
With 64.5 marks in CLAT 2026 and EWS+UP domicile, getting a top NLU may be difficult because EWS cutoffs are usually high. However, you may still have chances in the newer or mid-tier NLUs, depending on this year's overall scoring trend. NLUs like NLU Tripura, NLU Shimla or NLU Jabalpur sometimes open seats for EWS candidates at lower scores. It's best to wait for the official ranks and counselling lists, as seats shift during later rounds.

Hello aspirant,
Getting 43 in CLAT can feel disappointing, but it doesn't define your ability. You still have AILET, and many students improve sharply in their second attempt. For AILET, focus more on English, logical reasoning and GK. In static GK, study important books, monuments, national parks, constitutional facts and major awards. For current affairs, revise the last 6-8 months covering national events, government schemes, appointments, sports and major international news. Make short notes and revise daily. With a clear plan and claim mind, you can perform much better in AILET.
