You don't have to worry. In case you have forgotten your ID and password, which is pretty much normal. You can go and click on the forgot password tab in the registration window. You will receive the mail and then you have to reset your password. Once day you will be able to login.
See, it doesn't matter that you fill the form through laptop or phone. What matters is you fill the form. Yes, you should have good network connection and internet speed. It should not happen that you have filled the form and when you reach the last step you loose the connection. So what is important is network connection not the phone or laptop to fill the application form.
The CLAT Application Process will end on October 31, 2025. It is expected that the Consortium will open the correction window the very next day. Generally, the CLAT Application Correction Window remains open for two to three days. It must be noted that if you miss this chance to correct the application form, then you won't get any other chance.
