The NLU admissions 202 will be done through a centralised counselling process conducted by the Consortium of NLUs. The Consortium publishes the counselling schedule which contains details such as the deadline for registration, timelines for different rounds of allotment lists and payment of university fees. The NLUs may continue to admit students separately in case they want to fill any vacant seats after five rounds of counselling of the CLAT exam colleges.
After the first round of CLAT seat allotment 2026, if an aspirant is satisfied with the allotted college then they can choose the Freeze option and pay the confirmation fee of Rs 20000 and the remaining university fee to the concerned university. If a candidate is not satisfied with the allotted college but wants to continue in the counselling process for further rounds to get a higher preference NLU, they can choose the Float option. In this case, the candidate will have to pay the confirmation fees for the allotted seat from CLAT university list. However, if in a subsequent round, the candidate gets allotted a higher preference NLU seat, then they can move to that NLU. If a candidate wants to exit the process anytime after registration they can choose the Exit option.
