The CLAT seat allotment 2027 is done based on the candidate's CLAT score, seat availability, preferred NLU list, and domicile reservation. Candidates who have been allotted a seat in the seat allotment process can exercise the Freeze, Float, or Exit option. Those who select the Freeze option must pay the confirmation fee of Rs 20,000 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 the 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.
