The Consortium of National Law Universities (NLUs) has issued guidelines for conducting CLAT 2026 for Persons with Disabilities (PwDs) on October 27, 2025. The main purpose of these guidelines is to ensure that candidates with disabilities are provided equal access, fair opportunity, and reasonable accommodations during the CLAT 2026 examination.
The provisions apply to individuals defined under Section 2(s) of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (RPwD) Act, 2016. Candidates who face functional limitations in writing, reading, or comprehending due to physical, visual, intellectual, or other disabilities can avail support as certified by a competent authority. Moreover, those who acquire a disability after form submission can also claim reasonable accommodations upon producing valid medical documentation.
Special Accommodations
As per the new guidelines, eligible candidates will be entitled to special accommodations, including compensatory time, scribe/ reader/ lab assistant, use of technological aids, and access to barrier-free examination centres. Requests for specific assistance apart from scribe requests made through the application form must be emailed to the Consortium at least ten days before the exam.
Accommodations to facilitate the independent writing of CLAT 2026 exam
To promote independent participation, PwD candidates will be encouraged to use technology-based tools such as screen-reading software, magnification tools, voice recognition software, and recording devices. However, they may opt for a scribe if preferred. Candidates can either bring their own scribe or request one from the Consortium’s approved panel.

The qualification norms for scribes ensure impartiality UG CLAT scribes must be two to three academic years below the exam level, while PG CLAT scribes must not be law or humanities students.
Guidelines for Compensatory Time
The guidelines also introduce compensatory time of 20 minutes per hour, meaning candidates will get 40 extra minutes for the 2 hour CLAT exam, regardless of whether they use a scribe. All certifications must adhere to formats prescribed by the Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment and be issued by a government medical board.

Separate rooms will be arranged for candidates using scribes or those with neurodiverse or chronic health conditions. Medical staff will also be available at centres for emergency assistance.
To uphold transparency and privacy, candidates’ disability data will be securely handled under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and the RPwD Act, 2016. A Grievance Redressal Committee will address complaints related to accessibility, scribe arrangements, or compensatory time.
