The CLAT seat allotment is provisional. Candidates who are included in the merit list for the second round of CLAT counselling are required to complete certain formalities after the publication of the merit list to gain final admission. The process is given below:
Allotted candidates are required to select one of the freeze, float, or exit options. Candidates who select the freeze or float option have to pay a confirmation fee of Rs 20000, which will be adjusted against the university fees to be paid by the candidates.
The candidates who have been allotted their first NLU preference or who are satisfied with the allotted seat can choose the freeze option to confirm their seat. They will not be considered for future rounds of admissions.
The candidates who have not been allotted their first NLU preference but want to be considered for further rounds of admission to be allotted a seat in an NLU that was higher in their preference list can choose the float option. In this case, they will retain the allotted seat but will be upgraded to another NLU in case a vacancy arises.
Candidates who want to exit the counselling process without being considered for admission into any of the NLUs can choose the exit option.
