Amity University-Noida Law Admissions 2026
Among top 100 Universities Globally in the Times Higher Education (THE) Interdisciplinary Science Rankings 2026
The Consortium of National Law Universities (NLUs) have announced the CLAT 2026 exam and application dates on July 20. This marks the beginning of a year-long admission process for national law universities—the CLAT registration 2026 will start from August 1, 2025 and the academic year will begin on August 1, 2026. The scores of CLAT 2026 will be accepted by all national law universities except NLU Delhi and NLU Meghalaya as these two NLUs conduct separate AILET and UG/PGAT examinations respectively. NLU aspirants preparing for these entrance exams should be mindful of the differences in the exam pattern, syllabus and schedule.
The most popular courses offered by the CLAT 2026 NLUs are the BA LLB and BBA LLB. Also, admission to the NLUs through CLAT is highly dependent on the cut-offs, which vary each year based on the difficulty level of the exam, number of applicants, and seat availability. Some of the top NLUs, like NLSIU Bangalore, NALSAR Hyderabad, and WBNUJS Kolkata have higher cut-offs compared to others. Candidates are advised to refer to the previous year cut-off trends to set a realistic target and plan their preparation accordingly. The complete list of such participating CLAT 2026 NLUs is available on the CLAT official website.
