CLAT 2026: Law Schools Accepting CLAT Scores
Three types of law schools will accept CLAT 2026 scores to provide admission to their undergraduate and postgraduate courses:
CLAT Colleges 2026 - Participating NLUs
There are a total of 24 NLUs that are participating institutes of CLAT 2026.
- 5-year LLB - The integrated law program is offered by all the 24 NLUs, with the seat intake standing at 3,213 seats.
- One-year LLM - The program is offered by 21 NLUs, which have a combined intake of 1,217 seats.
Affiliate Colleges of CLAT 2026
These colleges have signed MOUs with the consortium and use CLAT 2026 scores for admission purposes. In all, there are 61 affilates that are listed on the consortium website. But they also conduct their own entrance exams. This gives chance to those too who have missed the CLAT or did not score well.
Other Private law colleges
Unlike the affiliate colleges which have signed an MOU, some colleges that haven't signed any MOU may still use CLAT 2026 scores for admission purposes. The colleges that fall in this category may fluctuate the most in terms of their academic abilities as we move from one college to the next. So, you need to do robust R&D before you get admission into any of them.
