Who Should Apply for CLAT 2027?
CLAT 2027 is used for admission to five-year integrated undergraduate LL.B. programmes and one-year postgraduate LL.M. programmes offered by participating National Law Universities for the 2027–28 academic year. Applicants should read the relevant UG or PG instructions and information brochure before submitting the form. Eligibility and programme-specific requirements should be checked in the official documents rather than assumed from previous admission cycles.
How to Apply for CLAT 2027
Eligible candidates who have not yet submitted their applications can complete the process online by following these steps:
- Visit the official CLAT 2027 website.
- Open the CLAT 2027 registration or applicant login link.
- Register using a personal mobile number and email address, and complete the required verification.

- Enter the required personal, academic and other application details carefully.
- Upload the documents and certificates required by the official instructions.
- Pay the applicable application fee through the available online payment facility.

Important: Registration is not complete merely by creating a login.

Do not wait until the final hours, as payment or website issues may delay submission.
