    CLAT Result 2026: Tie Breaker Rule

    In CLAT, many candidates can score the same marks. To rank these candidates fairly, the Consortium of National Law Universities uses a clear tie-breaker rule. This rule decides the order of candidates with equal scores.

    CLAT 2026 Tie Breaker Rule

    Tie-breaker step

    Criteria

    1. Legal aptitude marks

    Higher marks in the legal aptitude section

    2. Age

    Older candidate preferred

    3. Computerised draw

    Random draw if ties persist

    This tie-breaker rule gives priority first to candidates with higher legal aptitude marks. If the tie continues, older candidates are given preference. If both these criteria are equal, a computerised random draw is used to break the tie.

    CLAT Counselling 2026

    The Consortium will conduct CLAT counselling soon after the CLAT results are announced. The entire process is conducted online through the official Consortium of NLUs website. Candidates who qualify must register for counselling by paying the required fee and uploading the necessary documents. They then need to fill and lock their preferred NLUs in order of choice. Seat allotment happens in multiple rounds based on rank and preferences. Candidates must confirm their seats by paying the university fees. The CLAT counselling process 2026 offers options to freeze, float, or exit seats as per candidate preferences.
