In short
CLAT 2027 applications closed 7 Nov 2026. Fee payment, test-centre change and corrections allowed till 10 Nov, 11:59 pm. Mock tests 10 and 20 Nov; exam 6 Dec.
Online applications for the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) 2027 closed at 11:59 pm on 7 November 2026, and no fresh registration is accepted now. Candidates who started their registration but have not paid the fee can still pay and complete it until 11:59 pm on 10 November 2026, says the Consortium of National Law Universities' notification of 7 November 2026. Fee payment requests after that time will not be considered.
The last date had first been 31 October. On 31 October, the Consortium extended it to 7 November for both the UG and the PG programmes. The exam date has not changed: CLAT 2027 is on Sunday, 6 December 2026, from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm.
Test centre and corrections: also by 10 November
10 November is the last day for one more thing. Under a notification of 3 November, candidates can change the test location preferences in their application until 11:59 pm on 10 November, and requests to change the test location after that will not be accepted. The same window can be used to check and correct the name, date of birth, programme applied for (UG or PG) and reservation category. No change to the application form will be entertained after 10 November.
To change the test location, log in to your CLAT account, click Edit Application, open the Preferences tab, update the locations, go on to the Reservation tab, accept the declaration and click Submit Form. To check your other details, use Print Application first, and edit only if something is wrong. Review the whole form before you submit it again.
Two free mock tests
The Consortium is running two online mock tests for UG and PG candidates who have applied: the first on 10 November and the second on 20 November 2026, according to its notification of 6 November. The mock tests are for practice only and are not an official exam paper. Each runs for two hours with 120 questions; a correct answer gets 1 mark, a wrong one loses 0.25 marks and an unanswered question gets nothing. Candidates can take the mock test as many times as they like.
The Consortium says the format, difficulty and spread of questions in the mock test are only indicative and do not predict the actual paper. The real CLAT 2027 will be held offline, unlike the online mock test.
What to do before 10 November
If your fee is still unpaid, pay it now and download the completed application. If your test city preference has changed, update it. Check the name and date of birth against your Class 10 certificate. The Consortium's help desk is at clat@consortiumofnlus.ac.in and 080-47162020 (Monday to Saturday, 10:00 am to 5:00 pm). The admit card date has not been announced yet. For the exam pattern and the NLUs that take CLAT scores, see our CLAT 2027 exam page.
