💡 Verify every detail on your hall ticket against an original government ID immediately upon download, and visit your designated test center location in advance to prevent exam-day delays.

How to Complete CLAT Hall Ticket Download via Consortium Portal

The Consortium of National Law Universities issues hall tickets online through its official portal (consortiumofnlus.ac.in). Candidates must use their registered mobile number and password to access their candidate dashboard.

Once logged in, verify every field before taking a printout. It is advisable to print multiple clear copies on plain white paper.

  • Click on the download admit card link on your personal dashboard.

  • Inspect the printed photo, signature, roll number, and application number.

  • Save a digital PDF copy on your device as an emergency backup.

Discrepancies should be reported to the Consortium helpdesk without delay.

Crucial Center Verification and Reporting Schedule

The CLAT 2027 exam takes place on 6 December 2026 as a 2 hours (120 minutes) test. Arriving at the correct venue well ahead of time is critical because entry gates close strictly as per schedule.

Candidates must locate their designated examination center beforehand. If the exam center is in another city, arrange transit early to avoid travel fatigue.

  • Confirm the exact center address, landmark, and center code printed on the admit card.

  • Undertake a trial journey or check the route a day prior to assess local traffic.

  • Reach the test center well before the scheduled entry cutoff time.

  • Remember that late arrivals will not be permitted past the designated gate closing time under any circumstances.

Photograph, Signature, and Identity Proof Rules

Your admit card contains a passport-style photograph and signature submitted during registration. Exam center invigilators will match these against your physical appearance and valid identity proof.

  • Acceptable proofs include Aadhaar Card, Passport, PAN Card, or Voter ID.

  • Ensure the name on your photo ID matches the name printed on the hall ticket.

  • Carry two passport-size photographs matching the uploaded image in case verification is requested.

  • Avoid carrying non-permitted accessories, watches, bags, or electronic devices into the venue.

Scribe Norms and Accommodations for PwD Candidates

Candidates eligible for scribe assistance or compensatory time must adhere strictly to the guidelines specified by the Consortium of National Law Universities.

All formal approvals for scribes must be completed in advance through the official portal. Exam day requests at the test center are routinely rejected by center superintendents.

  • Carry the valid disability certificate issued by an authorized medical authority.

  • Bring the official scribe approval letter issued by the Consortium.

  • Ensure the scribe carries original valid photo identification and required declaration forms.

  • Verify that the allotted center has made provisions for ground-floor seating or accessibility accommodations as requested during registration.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if there is a spelling mistake on my CLAT admit card?
If you notice an error in your name, date of birth, or category, contact the Consortium of National Law Universities immediately through the helpdesk link on consortiumofnlus.ac.in. Provide your application number, registered contact details, and supporting identity proof. Resolving discrepancies prior to the 6 December 2026 exam date ensures that verification at your test center proceeds without administrative complications.
Which photo identity documents are accepted at the CLAT exam center?
Candidates must carry an original, government-issued photo identification document. Acceptable proofs include an Aadhaar Card, Passport, Voter ID Card, or PAN Card. The name and photograph on the ID must clearly match the information on your CLAT admit card. Digital images on mobile devices or photocopies are strictly prohibited and will result in denial of entry.
Can I request a change in my allotted CLAT test center after admit card release?
No, test center allotments made by the Consortium of National Law Universities are final once admit cards are released. The Consortium allocates venues based on city preferences submitted during registration and infrastructure availability. Requests for center or city modifications are not entertained under any circumstances, so candidates must plan their travel to the assigned venue accordingly.
What is the test pattern and marking scheme printed on the CLAT hall ticket?
The CLAT 2027 test pattern comprises 120 MCQs worth 120 marks to be completed in 2 hours (120 minutes) using an offline OMR sheet. Every correct answer earns one mark, while an incorrect response incurs -0.25 marks. The paper is 100% passage-based across English Language, Current Affairs including GK, Legal Reasoning, Logical Reasoning, and Quantitative Techniques.
What items are strictly prohibited inside the CLAT examination hall?
Candidates must not bring mobile phones, smartwatches, digital calculators, bluetooth devices, earphones, study notes, or large bags into the exam hall. Only your printed admit card, original photo ID proof, transparent water bottle, and blue or black ballpoint pens are permitted. Test centers do not guarantee secure storage for personal belongings, so travel light on exam day.
