Candidates must note that CLAT 2025 Second Allotment List will be released by the consortium on June 4, 2025. Candidates will be able to check the same on the official website; i.e. consortiumofnlus.ac.in. 

• Mark sheet of 10th or its equivalent
• Mark sheet of 12th or its equivalent
• Character certificate
• Transfer / Migration Certificate
• Caste Certificate (if applicable for SC/ST/OBC, etc.)
• PWD Certificate (if applicable)
• Domicile/residence certificate (if applying under the domicile category)

Applicants who participated in CLAT counselling 2025 and did not secure any allocated seat are eligible for a full 100% refund of the registration fee. Here are essential details regarding the CLAT counselling fee refund:

• Candidates not assigned any seat during the counselling process will receive a complete 100 per cent fee refund.
• Candidates who were allocated seats but chose to exit the counselling after rejecting the allotment will also receive a refund. However, there will be deductions from the refund amount.
• If candidates are deemed ineligible for admission, they will be eligible for a refund after deducting INR 5000.

Candidates wanting to withdraw from the counseling process at any point can do so by selecting the exit option. This withdrawal means the candidate is no longer part of the CLAT 2025 counseling process, and their name won't be considered for subsequent rounds.

If a candidate is dissatisfied with the allocated seat and wishes to participate in additional CLAT counseling 2025 rounds, they can opt for the float option. This allows candidates to accept the assigned seat while expressing readiness to participate in more counseling rounds to secure a better seat. Choosing to float and receiving a seat in a subsequent round will nullify the previous allocation.

Candidates satisfied with their assigned seat and not interested in further counseling rounds can choose to freeze their seat. This confirms their seat at the designated National Law University (NLU), and they will not be considered for subsequent CLAT 2025 counseling rounds.

Following the CLAT seat allotment, candidates are required to fulfill the NLU admission process to secure their admission. While the process may slightly differ among various NLUs, it generally encompasses the following steps:

1. Payment of Admission Fee: Candidates receiving seats in NLUs must remit the admission fee to confirm their admission. The fee amount and payment mode can vary among NLUs.

2. Document Verification: Candidates are obligated to present their original documents for verification at the NLU. Typically, these documents include the CLAT scorecard, CLAT admit card, class 10th and 12th mark sheets, category certificate (if applicable), and other pertinent documents.

3. Seat Confirmation: Following document verification, candidates are required to confirm their seats by submitting the necessary documents and settling any outstanding fees.

4. Orientation and Induction Program: NLUs generally conduct an orientation and induction program for newly admitted students. This program offers insights into the academic curriculum, rules and regulations, and other crucial information.

CLAT 2025 First Seat Allotment List is now out.

Candidates can choose to "freeze" their seat in CLAT counselling 2025 if they are happy with the seat they were assigned. These applicants won't be taken into consideration for subsequent counselling sessions. In addition, they must pay the remaining university fees as well as the confirmation cost.

If a candidate chooses not to proceed with the counselling process, they may use the Exit option. Once a candidate choose the exit option, they will not be assigned a seat. The designated seat will be redistributed if the candidate decides to leave after selecting the freeze or float option. In addition, the confirmation fee would be lost.

The consortium has announced that it will conduct three rounds of CLAT counselling 2025.

Candidates must note that CLAT 2025 Counselling is completely online. CLAT 2025 First allotment list will be released on the official website; i.e. consortiumofnlus.ac.in. and the participating NLUs website.

The Consortium of NLUs will release the CLAT First Merit List 2025 today; i.e. May 26, 2025 by 10 am. Candidates will be able to check the CLAT Seat Allotment 2025 PDF on the official website ie. consortiumofnlus.ac.in.

The Consortium will release the CLAT Second Merit List 2025 on June 4, 2025. 

The Consortium this year will end the counselling process with three rounds. Until last year, the Consortium conducted five rounds to complete the counselling process. The last and final merit list will be released on June 20, 2025 and candidates will be able to pay the university fees until June 27, 2025.

The consortium will hold a mop-up round of seat allocation to fill any open seats if after the five rounds of seat allotment there are still CLAT 2025 openings for admission. Applicants may apply for the CLAT 2025 mop-up round if they were not selected for admission in the first five rounds of the exam.

If you’ve got a seat at any NLU based on your preferences in the first three rounds of CLAT 2025 counselling, then you’ll need to pay a confirmation fee. Before you go ahead and pick the ‘freeze’ or ‘float’ option, make sure to pay INR 20,000 as the confirmation amount. Without doing this step, you won’t be able to lock in or move your seat. It’s kinda like saying “yes” to the offer before you decide to stay or explore better options later.

Yep, the counselling fee for CLAT 2025 can be refunded, but there are some conditions attached. It’s not always a full refund, and it kinda depends on where you are in the process.

When You Can Get Full Refund
You’ll mostly get a full refund if:

• You didn’t get any seat in any of the counselling rounds
• Or you decided to exit the counselling without locking any seat (that’s before clicking 'freeze' or 'float')

When It’s Not Refundable
You won't get the fee back if:

• You confirmed (froze) your seat and didn’t take admission
• Or you selected float and later dropped out
• Or you just missed out on deadlines and didn’t act on your allotment

Candidates can check seat allotment for Top 10 NLUs below:

Candidates in the general category must pay INR 30,000 for CLAT 2025 counselling, while those in the reserved categories must pay inr 20,000.  A small administrative fee (often around INR 5,000) will be subtracted from the refund if the candidate decides to withdraw from the admissions process or is not given a seat in any round.  After the counselling rounds are over, the reimbursement procedure usually starts and could take a few weeks.  Candidates must formally withdraw from the procedure via the CLAT portal by the specified deadlines in order to guarantee a prompt reimbursement.  You might no longer be eligible for a fee refund if you don't.

To be admitted to NLU, candidates must finish the admissions process after their CLAT seat is allotted. Although the admissions procedure varies significantly between NLUs, it usually entails the following steps:

Payment of Admission price: To be confirmed as admitted, candidates who have been given seats in NLUs must pay the admission price. Each NLU has a different charge and payment method.

Verification of Documents: Applicants must bring original documentation to the NLU for verification. The CLAT scorecard, CLAT admit card, mark sheets for classes 10 and 12, category certificate (if applicable), and other pertinent documents are usually included in the package.

Seat Confirmation: Following document verification, candidates must submit the necessary paperwork and pay any outstanding fees to confirm their seats.

Programme for Orientation and Induction: Newly admitted students are usually given a programme for orientation and induction by NLUs. An outline of the academic curriculum, guidelines, and other pertinent information are provided by the programme.

Candidates can check the list of documents required for CLAT 2025 Counselling below:

• 10th or equivalent mark sheet
• 12th or equivalent mark sheet
• Graduation certificate (for CLAT PG counselling)
• Character certificate
• Transfer / Migration Certificate
• Caste Certificate (SC/ST/OBC etc.) if applicable
• PWD Certificate (If applicable)
• Domicile/residence certificate (If applying under the domicile category)

So if you’ve made it to the counselling round in CLAT 2025 (congrats btw!), you’re probably staring at words like freeze, float, and exit wondering what on earth they mean. Well, don’t worry — it's not as confusing as it sounds. Here’s what these options basically mean in normal language:

Freeze – “I'm Good With This One”
This one's for you if you’re happy with the college (NLU) that you’ve been offered and you don’t wanna try for anything better. You basically say, “Yes, I’ll take this seat, don’t move me anywhere else.” Once you freeze, that’s it — your seat is locked. You won’t be part of further rounds. Only do this if you're totally sure you like the college and course you got.

Float – “I’ll Take It… But I Wanna Try for a Better One Too”
Okay so maybe you didn’t get your dream NLU, but you don’t wanna lose your current seat either. Float lets you “hold on to this one, but keep me in the running in case something better opens up.” You still have your seat, but if you’re lucky, you might get upgraded. Good option if your rank is borderline and your higher-preference colleges haven’t filled up yet. Just be patient – upgrades depend on vacant seats in the next rounds.

Exit – “I’m Out, Thanks”
This one’s for folks who either didn’t like the seat they got, or maybe changed plans (taking a drop, doing something else, etc.). You’re saying “No thanks, I’m not joining any NLU through this counselling.” Be 100% sure before doing this — because once you exit, there’s no coming back into the counselling process. You also lose the seat that was allotted to you (if any).

Seats will be distributed to candidates during CLAT 2025. Applicants will be able to participate in the CLAT 2025 seat allocation procedure if they successfully completed the counselling registration. Below is the procedure for assigning seats:

• Initially, an NLU seat would be assigned by the exam authorities in accordance with the candidates' NLU preferences and rank.
• Once the admission fee for the relevant NLU has been paid, the candidates have the option to accept the seat and proceed with the admission process
• Alternatively, candidates could choose to upgrade. With this choice, they can keep the seat that has already been assigned to them while also having the chance to be assigned to an NLU that is higher on their list of preferences
• Candidates have the option to withdraw from the CLAT seat allocation procedure.

Candidates can add NLU preference for CLAT 2025 while filling out the CLAT 2025 Application Form. Check steps below:

• Login to your CLAT account.
• Click on “update preferences” tab in the dashboard
• Fill the preferences according to your choice

One essential element of CLAT counselling in 2025 is taking NLU preferences into account.  On the CLAT 2025 application form, candidates can specify which NLUs they like.  It should be underlined that candidates will only be considered for admission to NLUs where they entered preferences within the allotted time.  They will not be considered for admission to any other NLU.  Candidates had to log into their CLAT accounts and add a minimum of five NLU preferences.  There is no cap on how many NLU preferences a candidate may include.

CLAT 2025 counselling fees is INR 30,000 for general/OBC categories and INR 20,000 for SC/ST/OBC/BC/EWS/PWD categories.  For the CLAT counselling 2025, only payments made online through the official legal entrance exam website will be accepted.  Candidates must pay the CLAT Counselling Fee 2025 in order to guarantee their spot.  After this, candidates are responsible for paying the remaining course fees, which include the tuition price and any other refundable or non-refundable fees.  After they freeze or float and have already paid the counselling fee, candidates who choose to withdraw or leave their assignment will get their money back.

Candidates can check the listed below to view the NLU-by-CLAT merit list:

Step 1: Go to the official CLAT website.

Step 2: Go to the "Notifications" area.

Step 3: Select the link labelled "CLAT 2025 First Allotment List."

Indeed, the seat matrix for CLAT 2025 admissions at National Law University (NLU) Jodhpur has been updated, affecting both undergraduate (UG) and graduate (PG) programs.  The changes include raising the BA LLB program's tuition costs and redistributing seats among other groups, including those for students sponsored by NRIs.

There will be three options available to candidates: freeze, float, and escape.  Candidates can comprehend each of the following options:

 Freeze Option: A candidate has the option to freeze their seat if they are satisfied with the one that has been assigned to them.  As a result, they will not be permitted to participate in any additional counselling sessions.  A candidate is reaffirming their spot at the designated National Law University (NLU) if they freeze their seat.

 Float Option: A candidate may choose to participate in additional rounds of counselling if they are unhappy with the seat that has been assigned to them. This choice indicates that the applicant is willing to participate in more rounds of counselling for a better college even though they are accepting the seat that has been assigned to them.  Candidates should be aware that their seat from the previous round will be forfeited if they select the float option and are given a seat in the subsequent round.

Exit Option: A candidate may decide to leave the counselling process if they decide they no longer wish to participate.  They will not be considered for a subsequent counselling session if they select this option, which signifies their withdrawal from the therapeutic process.

Candidates can check the status of their CLAT Seat allotment by logging in to their CLAT Candidate Portal 2025. In case, an NLU has rejected a seat allotted to a candidate in the previous seat allotment list, candidates can check the status of the same. In case their status still shows rejected, candidates must contact the concerned NLU. Once the candidates chooses the EXIT option in the CLAT seat allotment 2025, they will not be allowed to participate in other rounds of seat allotment. 

In addition to uploading the aforementioned papers, candidates must pay the appropriate cost for the NLU they have been given during CLAT seat allocation 2025. The individual institutes will specify the NLU Fee structure for 2025. Applicants will only be considered for admission if they have uploaded the proper paperwork and paid the necessary cost. Those who don't comply will not be considered for admission in the designated NLU.

The CLAT Exam 2025 was relatively simpler than the previous year, according to the CLAT 2025 Exam Analysis.  It is anticipated that CLAT Cut-off 202 would increase.  Experts say that a score of 105 or more is sufficient to gain admission to one of the top 10 NLUs.  Nonetheless, it is anticipated that the CLAT cut-off ranks for 2025 will generally mirror those of the prior year.
