Candidates must meet the eligibility criteria set by the Consortium of NLUs before filling out the CLAT 2027 application form. Failing to meet these requirements can result in immediate rejection of the application or cancellation of admission even after clearing the exam. Check the CLAT eligibility criteria in detail before you apply.
UG Eligibility
Follow the steps below carefully to complete your CLAT 2027 registration without errors. Incomplete applications and unpaid fees will be rejected outright by the Consortium.
Step 1: Visit the Official Website
Go to the official NLU Delhi admissions portal at consortiumofnlus.ac.in.. Always use the official website to avoid fake forms or misleading application links.
Step 2: Register and Create Your Login
Click on "Register" and create a new account using your mobile number and email ID. You'll receive an OTP for verification. Once verified, you'll be able to log in using your generated credentials. Keep these safe; you'll need them at every subsequent stage.
Step 3: Log In and Select Your Course
Sign in using your registered mobile number and password. Since CLAT is conducted for both UG and PG levels, select the program you are applying for and proceed to the application form.
Step 4: Fill in the Application Form
Enter your name exactly as it appears on your Class 10 certificate; mismatches can lead to rejection during document verification.
Step 5: Upload Documents
Upload your photograph, signature, and category certificate (if applicable) as listed in the Documents section below. Ensure all files are within the specified size limits and accepted formats before uploading.
Step 6: Pay the Application Fee
The last step is paying the CLAT 2027 application fee online via UPI, debit card, credit card, or net banking. Once paid, the application fee is non-refundable under any circumstances.
Step 7: Review, Submit and Print
Preview your entire application before submitting. Submit only after confirming the fee payment status is visible in your account. Take a printout of the confirmation page and payment receipt for your records.
The fee structure below is based on CLAT 2026 figures officially released by the Consortium. Fees for CLAT 2027 are expected to remain the same and will be updated once the official notification is out.

Keep the following documents ready before you begin filling out the CLAT 2027 application form.
Small errors during registration can lead to application rejection or issues at document verification. Keep these in mind:
The Consortium of NLUs typically opens a correction window for a few days after the CLAT 2027 registration deadline, giving candidates one last chance to fix errors before the application form is locked for good. Here's how it works:
Step 1: Wait for the Correction Window to Open
The correction facility usually opens shortly after the last date to apply and stays active for a limited period only. Keep checking the official website for the exact dates once announced.
Step 2: Log In to Your Candidate Portal
Use the same login credentials you created during registration to access your submitted application.
Step 3: Edit the Permitted Fields
Not all details can be changed at this stage. Fields that are usually editable:

Step 4: Review and Re-submit
Preview your corrected application carefully before final submission; corrections made after the window closes will not be entertained under any circumstances.
Important: There is usually no additional fee for making corrections during this window, but always verify this against the official notification once released.
Most CLAT mistakes happen at registration, not on exam day; a wrong document format or a missed deadline can cost you before prep even begins. Get your details and category right the first time, and don't wait till the last date to submit.
Once you're done, shift focus entirely to preparation - go through the CLAT syllabus, practice on Freezone, and keep checking consortiumofnlus.ac.in for admit card and correction updates.
