NLU Consortium Releases CLAT 2026 PG Third Provisional Seat Allotment List
The Consortium of National Law Universities (NLUs) has officially announced the release of the third provisional seat allotment list for the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) 2026 counselling process. This development marks a significant milestone for candidates aspiring to pursue postgraduate law programmes across India's premier National Law Universities.
Checking Allotment Status and Important Details
Candidates who successfully registered for CLAT 2026 counselling can now access their seat allotment status by visiting the official consortium website at consortiumofnlus.ac.in. The third allotment list specifically addresses postgraduate law programmes, while the undergraduate programme allotment has been postponed to a later date.
This provisional allotment determines seat allocation based on multiple crucial factors including:
- CLAT 2026 All India Rank
- Candidate preferences submitted during registration
- Available seats across participating institutions
The provisional nature of this allotment indicates that further counselling rounds will follow, allowing for potential adjustments in seat distribution.
Understanding Your Allotment Options
Candidates who receive seat allotments in this round must carefully consider their available options within the specified timeline:
- Freeze Option: Candidates satisfied with their allotted seat who do not wish to participate in subsequent counselling rounds can select this option to secure their current allocation.
- Float Option: For candidates who accept their current allotment but wish to remain eligible for higher-preference choices in future rounds, this option maintains their candidacy while holding their provisional seat.
- Exit Option: Candidates who decide to withdraw from CLAT 2026 counselling entirely can choose this option to formally conclude their participation.
Important Note: Candidates selecting either freeze or float options must complete payment of a non-refundable counselling confirmation fee to validate their seat acceptance.

- Class 10 and Class 12 academic mark sheets
- CLAT 2026 admit card
