After the 2025 CLAT blunder, the Consortium of National Law Universities (CNLUs) conducted CLAT 2026 on December 7. The exam, according to the consortium, saw a 17% increase in student participation across UG and PG compared to last year.
CLAT 2026 was held across 156 centres in 25 States, 93 cities, and 4 Union Territories.
“A total of 92,344 candidates applied for the examination, and this year there is an increase of 17% more applications. Among them, 75,009 candidates registered for the Undergraduate (UG) programme, while 17,335 candidates applied for the Postgraduate (PG) programme. The overall male–female ratio stands at approximately 0.72:1,” the consortium said in a press release.
“The exam recorded a significant turnout, with 96.83% of Undergraduate applicants and 92.45 % of postgraduate applicants appearing for the test, which is a testament to the growing aspiration among students to secure admission to India’s premier National Law Universities (NLUs)”, it said.
CLAT also saw a participation of 548 candidates under the PwD category. A dedicated nodal officer was appointed to ensure personal attention and care to all reasonable accommodations for all of them.
The consortium will release the CLAT 2026 provisional answer key on its official website on December 10, 2025, at 5:00 pm. The consortium has provided an objection window of 48 hours this time, unlike 24 hours in previous years. The objection submission portal will open along with the provision answer key, and will close on December 12, 2025, at 5 pm.
Candidates can raise objections regarding the questions or the provisional answer key may do so through the CLAT 2026 portal.

Hey there,
If you mean CLAT eligibility for admission to 5-year LLB courses, there is no fixed CLAT score/rank that guarantees eligibility. You must first meet the basic Class 12 eligibility criteria, and admission is based on your CLAT rank, category, preferences, and counselling cut-offs.
For NLUs, a better rank
