CLAT: Common Law Admission Test

First identify the law course and the participating university

CLAT admission is not one interchangeable route for every law college. The CLAT 2026 participating-universities list names NLUs including WBNUJS Kolkata; each university's brochure may add course, seat and category conditions. Five-year integrated law and postgraduate law are different paths. A non-participating university can publish a separate admission process.

Before comparing cutoffs, record the qualification, university, domicile or other seat category, counselling round and source year. A previous closing rank is an observed allotment threshold under that round's conditions, not a current seat or personal eligibility verdict. Use the CLAT college predictor to assemble a historical shortlist, then open the Consortium's current instructions and each university's brochure before ordering choices.
