The seat allotment in CLAT depends on the rank, marks, cutoffs for each NLU, and the preference given by the candidates. After the CNLU Patna merit list is released, the Consortium will conduct five rounds of admissions counselling. The candidates listed on the merit list will be required to select either the freeze/ float/ exit option through their login.
The ‘Freeze’ option should be selected if the candidate is allotted a seat in their preferred NLU. Candidates unsatisfied with the allotted NLU can click on the float option to get a higher preference NLU. Candidates who select either of these options must pay the confirmation fee of Rs. 20,000 to reserve a seat, which will be adjusted to the university tuition fee. If a candidate does not want to participate any further in the counselling process, they can choose to ‘Exit’.

Hello,
In CLAT , the 9-digit admit card number is not the same as the roll number you have to write on the OMR sheet. The OMR sheet has only 7 blocks because the CLAT roll number is shorter.
You should check your admit card again and look for the roll number printed near your name and exam details. Fill only that roll number in the OMR sheet. Do not write the 9-digit admit card number.
If you still cannot find the roll number, you can ask the exam invigilator on the exam day.
Hope it helps !
Hello,
To check your CLAT exam hall ticket, go to the official website, log in with your registration or application number and password (or other login details), and the admit card will be displayed on the screen. You should then download and print at least two copies of the admit card for the exam and counselling process.
I hope it will clear your query!!
