Candidates must arrive at the exam hall in time and be seated in the classrooms at least 30 minutes before the exam commencement.
Aspirants will need to attempt the CLAT exam on the OMR sheet. The CLAT 2026 OMR sheet is a pre-printed security document that contains bubbles and timing tracking sensors. The bubbles in the sheet correspond to question numbers with options, which candidates must fill in using a blue or black ballpoint pen. There are five different sections in the CLAT exam, and it is recommended that candidates attempt the General Knowledge section first as it is not much time taking, followed by the English section, and then read it, and try to complete the English section. It will be convenient for candidates if they complete the English section in around 20 minutes. Then you can choose either the Legal or Logical section, as it depends on which is your strong subject. Finally, attempt the Quantitative Aptitude part.
It is one of the most important steps for any candidate to understand the exam pattern of CLAT. It helps aspiring candidates know what to expect and prepare accordingly.

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 !
