Declaration of CLAT Merit List
The Consortium releases the merit list for both CLAT UG and CLAT PG at the time of result declaration. Through 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.

To appear in CLAT 2021 counselling, candidates will 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 will have to submit their documents as asked by the authorities.
