One parent named Dr. Pramodini Jena, who goes by the Twitter handle @DrPramodini, alleged that the CLAT Heldsek is not responding to her child's calls. Also, she claims there is a discrepancy in the scorecard.

Students, whatever may be their rank, are currently on the lookout for a college they can get admission into, one that is decent enough and doesn't put a big hole in the pocket. 

Vacancies, if any, will be posted by the NLUs on their respective websites after conclusion of the fifth and final round of counselling. So, candidates must keep visiting the NLU website for updates on any such vacancies after the regular counseling process ends.

Also, note that admission against any such vacancies by the NLUs has to be done strictly as per CLAT 2021 merit rank.

Candidates who have been allotted seats in the first four rounds may withdraw their seats, if they want to, on or before August 18, 2021. However, a penalty of Rs. 10,000 will be levied for such withdrawals (which will be adjusted against the seat block fee of Rs. 50,000 paid at the time of registration).

No, the upgrade option will be available for the first four rounds only. So, candidates who have been allotted seats in the fifth round has the following two options to choose from:

• Accept/Lock the seat, upload documents and pay the NLU admission fee

Publication of Counselling Invite Lists on July 29: If your name is in the list, you can get registered

The NLU Consortium had constituted Grievance Redressal Committee on July 27. The result was declared yesterday, so candidates may still get a chance to put their objections against the CLAT result. In this process, a redressal form can be released soon for the candidates.

The consortium will publish Counselling Invite Lists for undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. If your name is included in your applied programme, you can participate in the counselling process.

Note, the number of candidates invited for counselling will be FIVE times the number of seats available in each category.  

While NIRF ranking is a good tool for identifying top NLUs, but the students' behaviour in last year also tells about the popularity of NLUs. So, as per the previous year general/open category cut-offs, the top NLUs are as follows.

1. NLSIU Bangalore
2. NALSAR Hyderabad
3. WBNUJS Kolkata
4. NLU Jodhpur
5. NLIU Bhopal
6. GNLU Gandhinagar
7. MNLU Mumbai
8. HNLU Raipur
9. RMNLU Lucknow

The consortium hasn't yet published the consolidated merit lists. It was slated to be published on July 28. 

The lists will contain the names of all candidates who have appeared in the pen-and-paper exam, their admit card numbers, application numbers, and CLAT 2021 merit rank.

This is how the login window for downloading the CLAT 2021 scorecard looks like.

The invite list will be published today for both UG and PG programmes. Candidates who are included in the lists only will be eligible to participate in the online counselling process.

While giving preference to NLUs, candidates should always try to include the top colleges in their list. So, what are the top NLUs in the country? Check the ranking as per the NIRF  2020 ranking.

The CLAT 2021 counselling fee is Rs. 50,000. Candidates will be able to pay CLAT counselling fee online, from their registration portal. The fee for CLAT counselling registration is adjusted with the course fees.

As per a recent notification of CLAT Consortium, the counselling invitation to approximately five times the number of seats in each category will be sent. Now, with around 2,622 seats in UG CLAT, around 13,100 candidates are expected to appear in counselling. For CLAT LLM, with around 800 seats, we can expect around 4,000 candidates in CLAT counselling. 

CLAT 2021 invite list is the list of candidates selected for the counselling process which will start today. Candidates included in the CLAT invite list 2021 will have to register for counselling. Candidates who are not included in the invite list will effectively be out of the CLAT admission process. 

The result of CLAT 2021 was declared yesterday, at around 12:30 pm. Now, the consortium will release the invite list for conducting counselling. The CLAT counselling also starts today, the notification for the same will be uploaded soon at consortiumofnlus.ac.in.

Candidates can check the expected CLAT 2021 expected cut-offs below.

Expected CLAT cut off for top 10 NLUs

The result of CLAT can be accessed by logging into the CLAT portal. As of now, no merit lists are available.

The NLU Consortium has finally released the CLAT 2021 resut. The direct link for CLAT results is given below.

To check CLAT 2021 result - Click here 

The consortium had notified that CLAT 2021 results would be declared on July 28, but now it is well past midnight and we have entered July 29 and yet results have not been declared.

This is definitely a very long and tiring night for candidates and their parents, who must be waiting with bated breath since the morning. 

Right now only the consortium knows what is keeping it from announcing the results. 

The CLAT 2021 result is yet to be declared, but the website is down again. 

The CLAT helpdesk has notified that CLAT 2021 results would be declared at midnight, which is 12 am. So, if the time holds, then we are around 25 minutes away from the much-awaited event. 

Exactly how many candidates are feeling right now! 

The direct links for downloading the consolidated merit lists as well as the scorecards will be updated on this page once resuts are declared. 

• The scorecard has to download after logging in using one's candidate credentials
• However, no login is required to download the consolidated merit lists
• The official site to download the CLAT score is: consortiumofnlus.ac.in

Many leading PSUs recruit candidates for the post of Executive Trainee (Law), Assistant Legal Adviser (E1 Level), etc. on the basis of CLAT PG scores. Here are some of the popular PSUs that recruit through CLAT

• Oil India Limited (OIL)
• Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC)
• Power Grid Corporation of India Limited
• Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL)
• Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL)
• National Thermal Power Corporation Limited (NTPC)

Candidates can check the previous year CLAT 2021 cut-offs for top 5 NLUs in the video below.

The consortium is yet to declare the results and there is now barely one and half hours left for the day to be over. No doubt it has been a long day for law aspirants, whose nerves must be at the edge. More the delay, more the anxiety, especially as we move towards midnight. 

But for the time being, we keep waiting.

For CLAT aspirants, corporate lawyers is an attractive career option. Wath the Careers360's 2 Minutes Career to learn how to become a corporate lawyer.

Candidates can check the video to know about the top 10 law colleges in India. Except for IIT Kharagpur, SLS Pune, and Jamia Millia Islamia, all other seems to be NLUs. 

NIRF Rankings 2020                                                                                     

NLSIU Bangalore is the number one ranked law college in the country as per NIRF rankings. And the cutoff marks for admission to the institute is around 100. So, if you manage to secure around 120 marks that would almost guarantee you a seat at almost any NLU.

That being said, please note that in CLAT 2020, only three candidates managed to score 120+ marks.

No one is happy with the prolonged delay in CLAT 2021 result, not even this guy @Aayush 

No one's this happy about it tho?#clat2021 pic.twitter.com/96N1PDg3eq

The consortium has constituted a grievance redressal committee on July 27. The results will be declared today, so it is likely that candidates' grievances will be accepted even after CLAT result declaration.

The official website of CLAT has gone down again. This can be either due to heavy traffic on the website or the consortium is preparing for the CLAT result now. Meanwhile, stay tuned here for all updates on CLAT result. 

Candidates took out their frustrations on Twitter after getting bored and also tired after waiting for CLAT 2021 results to be declared the whole day. It has given rise to some creative memefest. Here is one.

The Consortium of NLUs hasn't declared CLAT 2021 result yet, though it could be announced anytime now.

CLAT 2021 result could be announced any time now. But let us take a step back and take a glance at last year's toppers and marks secured by them                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                CLAT 2020 toppers

Though a fewer number of candidates registered for the exam this year, as many as 62,106 candidates took the CLAT 2021 exam. This number is higher than last year when only 59, 443 candidates appeared in the exam.

Last year, 75,183 candidates registered for the CLAT exam. In comparison, only 70,277 candidates registered for CLAT 2021.

CLAT 2021 result will be announced today, however, the consortium has not given any specific time for the declaration of result. Last year, CLAT result was declared at around 4:55 pm. This year, it is expected to be released in the evening.

Some candidates are yet to receive their board results. However, the CLAT counselling is scheduled to commence from July 29. For CLAT UG candidates, the board exam mark sheet is mandatory for appearing in counselling. So, a student took Twitter to express his concern over the current CLAT schedule.

The regular students will submit but us the private students wont be able to do anything and our seats will be allotted to other regular students who have their 12th marksheet @AdvMamtaSharma @anubha1812 @sukjperumahan @hi_me_kartikey #SCsaveCBSEprivatestudents @dpradhanbjp https://t.co/a0PEOK6sfD

One handle took the opportunity to take a dig at the coaching institutes, showcasing how they go overboard when one of their candidates scores the highest marks!

The result is seeing mixed emotions already as one handle who goes by the username @_EkBharatiya_, tweeted out his frustration at the delay in declaration of CLAT result 2021.

The Consortium of NLUs will declare the results of the pen-and-paper exam at its official website - consortiumofnlus.ac.in. 

The result would be released for both undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in the form of consolidated merit lists. Individual scorecards will also be made available through candidate logins. To download scorecards, click on the result link and log in by entering login credentials. 

The consortium of NLUs has dropped question number 143 (Subject Area - Quantitative Techniques) for the CLAT UG programme. Consequently, the test will now be evaluated out of 149 marks instead of 150.

• Candidates who are included in counselling Invite Lists can participate in the counselling process
• The invite lists will be published on July 29
• The consortium will invite FIVE times the number of available seats in each category for counselling
• Registration for counselling will be open from July 29-30, 2021
• As part of the registration process, the candidate needs to enter NLU preferences and pay a counselling fee of Rs. 50,000 to book a seat.
• There will be 5 rounds of seat allotment.
• The results for the first round of seat allotment will be announced on August 1, 2021
• Post seat allotment, the candidate has three options: 1) Accept/Lock the seat and upload documents and pay a fee to the NLUs; OR 2) Apply for upgrade and submit documents and pay a fee to the NLUs, OR 3) Exit admission process) 
• The upgrade option will not be available after the 5th round of allotments.

The consortium has said that it will send invitations to approximately five times the number of CLAT seats in each category for both UG and PG. This means, for UG around 13,110 candidates can be invited this year. And, approximately 4000 candidates will be called for CLAT LLM. 

Recently, the NLU Consortium had relased the CLAT dates for result and other post exam events. Candidates may check key dates for CLAT 2021 below.

If you have NLU on your wishlist, AILET 2021 will be conducted on July 30 for admission to NLU Delhi. Apart from AILET, you can also appear in MH CET law 2021, PU BA LLB, BHU BA LLB.

AILET admit cards have been released by NLU Delhi and you can download it from here - AILET 2021 admit card

In last year's CLAT PG, two candidates secured AIR 1 and AIR 2 but had similar marks. Kaumudi Umrao and Abhisheel Jaiswal, both scored 72 marks in CLAT LLM. The tie between the two toppers was resolved by following the predetermined formula as a result, Kaumudi Umrao was given the first rank.

Last year, Aprajita became CLAT topper with the highest marks. Her CLAT score was 127.25. She was followed by Adya Singh who had a CLAT score of 120.72, a difference of around 7 marks!!

Last year CLAT result was declared on October 5, at around 4:57 pm. This year too, CLAT result will be declared around the same time.

The consortium will release the result for over 62,000 aspirants. around 53,000 are expected to be from CLAT UG who will contend for 2622 seats in 22 NLUs.

The website is running, but a bit slowly. Also, all the notifications under the "Notifications" bar have disappeared.  

The CLAT cut-offs will depend on various factors as mentioned below.

1. Total number of candidates appeared in CLAT 2021 

2. How many of these candidates have applied for admission at the time of counselling

3. NLU Preference given by candidates at the time of CLAT registration 

4. CLAT 2021 merit rank and score of the candidates 

5. Seat intake for the 5-year LLB and LLM programmes offered by NLUs

6. Category of the candidates and reservation policies of the universities

7. Previous years’ cutoff trends - Check here

The expected cut-offs depend on many factors including candidates' choice, rank, score and category. Candidates may now also check the expected NLU wise cut off for CLAT 2021 below and compare their scores with the expected cut-offs.

The website had crashed at around 2.07 pm and isn't working yet. We are keeping an eye on the proceedings. Stay tuned. 

The consortium hasn't yet declared the results of CLAT 2021 exam. Looks like they are in the process of updating the website considering the large inflow of traffic once results are declared. 

The website of the NLU Consortium has gone down in the last couple of minutes, indicating that the CLAT 2021 results could be announced anytime now!

Keep watching this space. 

There are 22 NLUs in the CLAT consortium. These NLUs will offer various types of LLB programmes and LLM specialization programmes. Candidates can check the list of law programmes and specializations offered by NLUs through CLAT 2021 below.

NLU Law programmes

The consortium will publish a counselling invite list that will include the names/admit card numbers of candidates shortlisted for the counselling process. The list will be published at consortiumofnlus.ac.in on July 29.

The consortium has notified that the number of invite list candidates will be around FIVE times the number of available seats in each category. 

The registrations for CLAT 2021 will start on July 29. The list of eligible or counselling invite list candidates will be published by the consortium on its official website on July 29. 

Invited candidates will have to get registered, pay the counselling fee of Rs. 50,000 and enter NLU preferences.

LegalEdge has released section-wise and overall attempts that can be considered as good. Refer to the table below.

Overall, students must attempt a minimum of 115 questions.

LegalEdge cut-off verdict: The cut-offs can be a bit higher than the previous year considering the paper was easier compared to last year.

One Twitter user, who went by a pseudonym, Genral Melchetti (username- @gen_melchett) did a bit of banter by tweeting "sooooo, ready for crying today?? 

A Twitter user named Maurya Deepanshu, with the handle @maurya78, tweeted that the results of the CLAT 2021 exam will be declared today at 2 pm. However, he doesn't say anything regarding the source of his claim, as the consortium hasn't announced anything on the website yet.  

So, at the moment it appears like mere speculation.

The consortium will release the CLAT 2021 cut-off for each participating NLU. Also, the cutoffs will be released separately for the one-year LLM and the 5-year integrated LLB programmes. The cutoff depends on the following parameters:

• The total seat intake for the applied program
• The NIRF ranking of the NLU. A rule of thumb is the higher-ranked the NLU, the higher is the cutoff. The same goes for popularity: higher the popularity of an NLU, the stiffer the CLAT cutoff.
• Number of applications received for the programme
• The CLAT merit rank of candidates who have applied for admission
• Category (SC, ST, OBC, etc.)

NIRF 2020 Rank  - 01:

The institute offers 93 seats in the 5-year integrated LLB programmes. Out of this, 70 seats are for All India candidates, while the rest are for Karantaka domicile candidates.

Being the top-ranked NLU in the country, NLSIU Bangalore is in high demand, receives amongst the highest number of applications, which pushes up the cutoff. So, if you are seeking admission under the All India category, you may have a change only if you are ranked below the 80-90 rank range. 

There is a certain threshold for admission to an NLU in your respective category. You will get admission only if you meet this threshold, also known as the CLAT cutoff 2021. The cutoff would be determined programme-wise separately for each NLU.

For CLAT LLM, only one answer was revised. 

The institute has notified that it will conduct a separate entrance exam and will not accept CLAT scores for admission to its one-year LLM course. So, the institute now is following in the footsteps of CNLU Patna, which already conducts its own PG entrance exam.

In CLAT UG one question has been dropped. Now, the total marks will be 149 instead of 150, and this will be the same for all candidates who appeared in the exam.

But, four answers have been revised in the final CLAT answer key. This means the result of many candidates will be affected by the addition of up to four marks or deductions in total marks due to negative marking.
Overall, a difference of four marks will be good enough to affect the CLAT results of the candidates. It will help the candidates in improving their chances of getting the preferred NLU more easily. 

For candidates who will now have to face negative marking due to revision of answer key, the result will be affected negatively. The maximum negative marking for four questions will be one mark. 

The consortium will declare the results of CLAT 2021 for both the undergraduate and postgraduate exams today. 

19 on the member NLUs of the consortium offer a one-year LLM programme.

There are 22 NLUs in CLAT Consortium. These include some of the top-ranked NLUs which the candidates should go for after getting CLAT result 2021. Due to increased competition, these NLUs may see a higher cut off than the previous year's CLAT cut off. Here is the list of the top 5 NLUs that may see a high cut off this year.

1. NLSIU Bangalore

2. NALSAR Hyderabad

3. WBNUJS Kolkata

4. NLU Jodhpur

5. GNLU Gandhinagar

The Consortium of NLUs conducts the national-level exam. The official website of the consortium is clatconsortiumofnlu.ac.in. 

The consortium updates all the latest updates on the website, including start and last date of application submission, admit card, and exam dates. Updates on CLAT results will also be posted on the website.

NALSAR Hyderabad is the second most preferred NLU for CLAT aspirants. The university offers 120 seats. but, out of this 96 seats are available for all India categories (General + SC + ST). For all India general category, 75 seats are available,  so if the first 70 candidates opt for NLSIU, the candidates within a rank from 70 - 150 may easily get NALSAR Hyderabad. 

Roughly, if some candidates opt for other colleges, we can expect NALSAR Hyderabad cut off to be around 160-170  for the open category. Last year, the open/general cut off for NALSAR was 177. 

There are some speculations doing the rounds that the CLAT 2021 result has been declared. But in reality, the consortium hasn’t yet declared the CLAT results.

If CLAT 2021 result is declared, we will declare it FIRST here.

So, candidates are urged to follow our CLAT 2021 result Live Updates Blog to keep track of all the latest happenings and not believe in rumors.  

As per the revised admission notification of the university, DNLU will not accept CLAT LLM scores this year. So, candidates who want to apply for DNLU Jabalpur are advised to check the university's official website for the LLM admission process.

CLAT exam is conducted nationally every year for admission to 5-year integrated LLB and one-year LLM programmes offered by the twenty-two (22) participating NLUs.

The 5-year integrated LLB programme is offered by all the 22 NLUs, but only 19 NLUs offer the one-year LLM programme. The combined seat intake for the two programmes is given in the table below.

The revised admission notification introduced the Karantaka Students category and 25% domicile reservation. This means the category-wise allocation of seats was revised again. 

Earlier there were 93 seats in the all India general category. But after the revision, only 70 seats are available in the open category. This will result in a higher cut off for the open category this year. 

All India category candidates with a CLAT UG rank of 80 and more may find it difficult to secure a seat in NLSIU Bangalore. 

For students under the Karnataka domicile category, the reservation will certainly help them in securing a seat at the university.

The consortium will prepare the merit list of CLAT 2021 consdering marks obtained by candidates in the CLAT 2021 entrance exam.

Here are a few key features of the CLAT merit list

1. The merit list will be prepared based in CLAT marks
2. The merit list will be used to shortlist candidates for CLAT counselling
3. Note, the consortium will invite candidates for counselling FIVE times the number of seats available in each category
4. The allotment of seats to NLUs will be based on CLAT merit rank (and also NLU preference entered by the candidate during counselling registration)
5. Those ranked higer in the CLAT 2021 merit list to get preference during seat allotment.

As per the analysis of CLAT 2021 and previous year cut-offs, CLAT experts have claimed that a good score in CLAT 2021 will be near 100. A good attempt should be 115+.

But, the previous year cut offs suggest that candidates with a score of 80+ can secure a seat in top 5 NLUs. For NLSIU Bangalore though, the cut off may remain at 100-102 marks this year.

Candidates will find the following details in CLAT scorecard

1.  Name, date of birth and category of candidate

2. Marks obtained by the candidate

3. All India rank

4. Category rank

5. Admit card number/roll number
