CLAT 2023 counselling - Updating NLU preference

Giving NLU preferences is a crucial part of CLAT counselling. Candidates have already given admission preferences to the NLUs before downloading the CLAT admit cards.

• Ranking of national law universities in NIRF Law ranking 2022 and various other ranking parameters;

• Marks and rank obtained by the candidate

• Previous year CLAT cut-off for selected NLUs

• Candidate’s own choice of NLU

CLAT counselling process 2023 - Allocation of seats

The allotment of seats in national law universities will be based on merit cum preference criteria. Since the allotment of seats is announced in five rounds, candidates have three options after each allotment as mentioned below;

NLU admission process after CLAT seat allotment 2023

Option 1 - When candidate accepts seat allotment

If the candidate accepts the allotted seat, he will have to complete the admission process by following the steps mentioned below.

• Accept the seat and upload the documents and submit the fees.

The documents submitted by the candidate will be used for his/her verification. The candidate will now have to report to the allotted NLU as per the instructions and complete the admission formalities.

In case of any issues or questions related to documents and fees, candidates must contact the allotted NLU only.

Option 2 - When candidate applies for upgrade/revision

Candidates who exercise this option will agree to accept the allotted seat and also apply for the Revise option. This will make sure that they will not lose the allotted seat. Such candidates will either get a seat in an NLU which is above the current allotted university in the preference order or will retain the current seat.

Candidates opting for this option will have to submit the course fee to the allotted NLU and upload the documents on the CLAT login portal to be considered for revision.

Option 3 - Exiting NLU admission process

If a candidate chooses this option, he/she will not have a claim for any seat allotment from the CLAT consortium. Such a candidate loses the currently allotted seat and is not considered for the subsequent round of seat allotments.

CLAT counselling 2023: Options after final round of allotment

After the final round of seat allotment, candidates will have only two options;

• Candidates who could not secure admission during the counselling will get a 100% fee refund.

• Candidates exercising the Exit option and rejecting the allotment will get a refund only after some deduction which is charged as a processing charge.

• If the candidate is found ineligble for admission, he/she will get the refund after some deduction.
