CLAT Seat Allotment 2021 - Process Explained

The process leading to the seat allotment of CLAT starts with the release of the merit list. The step by step seat allotment process can be summarised in the following steps.

1. Declaration of merit list

2. Release of the invite list

3. CLAT counselling

4. Release of seat allotment in multiple rounds

Declaration of CLAT Merit List

The Consortium has released the CLAT merit list for both CLAT UG and CLAT PG. Through CLAT merit list, candidates are informed about their all India rank including category rank which ultimately decides the fate of the candidates on getting a seat through CLAT seat allotment. The CLAT seat allotment is declared primarily on the basis of two factors -

• Rank of the candidate in merit list

Release of CLAT Invite List

The conducting body released the invite list consisting of the names and admit card numbers of the candidates shortlisted for counselling and seat allotment. The consortium invites 5 times more candidates than the available seats.

CLAT Counselling Process

The candidates whose name appears on the invite list are issued CLAT counselling call letters in online mode. One can download the call letter by logging into the CLAT login portal. To appear in CLAT 2021 counselling, candidates have to register online at the login portal. The CLAT counselling registration fee is Rs 50,000 which will be adjusted with the semester fee at the allotted national law university.

During the counselling of CLAT, candidates have to submit their documents as asked by the authorities. If the Consortium provides the online counselling facility, candidates have to submit the scanned documents through CLAT login portal, else they may have to visit the counselling venue.

Release of CLAT Seat Allotment

The counselling of CLAT is conducted in three rounds, and so is the seat allotment. After each round of counselling, the consortium would release a CLAT provisional seat allotment. Note that, for each national law university, separate seat allotment of CLAT is released.
