The Consortium of National Law Universities has updated the CLAT 2026 portal with the second seat allotment status. Registered law aspirants can now log in to their candidate dashboard using their mobile number and password to view their assigned National Law University. Upon checking the allotment, candidates must choose to Freeze, Float, or Exit the counseling process before the January 29 deadline. Ensure you verify your category-wise rank and provisional admission status through the official portal to secure your spot for the 2026-27 academic session.

Law aspirants across the nation have begun navigating the Consortium website as the second round of seat allocation for the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT 2026) goes live. The official dashboard has been updated to reflect the new institutional assignments based on the vacancies created after the first round. Candidates are urged to log in promptly to their candidate profile to verify if they have received a fresh allotment or if their previous seat has been upgraded to a higher-preference National Law University (NLU).

Accessing the Dashboard and Status Verification

To view the updated results, students must visit the centralized Consortium website and enter their registered mobile number and password. The system will display a consolidated view of the user’s All India Rank alongside the specific NLU currently assigned to them. Once accessed via the candidate profile, the allotment status will clearly indicate whether the student is currently "Provisionally Allotted" or remains on the "Waiting List" for the subsequent third round of counseling scheduled for February.

• Login Link: Available at consortiumofnlus.ac.in.
• Details Displayed: All India Rank, Category Rank, and the name of the allotted Law University.
• Notification: While SMS and email alerts are sent, checking the Consortium website directly is the only way to confirm official data.
• Verification: Ensure that the university listed matches your updated preference list saved in your candidate profile.

Post-Allotment Actions and Deadlines

Once the status is confirmed on the Consortium website, candidates must take immediate action to retain their seat. The portal offers three distinct pathways: "Freeze" for those satisfied with their current NLU, "Float" for those seeking a better option in the third round, and "Exit" for those withdrawing from the race. Any changes made within the candidate profile must be finalized before the portal closes at 1:00 PM on January 29, 2026. Failure to choose an option or pay the requisite confirmation fee will lead to an automatic forfeiture of the seat.

• Freeze Option: Locks your current seat; you will not be considered for further upgrades.
• Float Option: Secures your current seat while keeping you in the run for higher-preference NLUs.
• Exit Option: Permanently removes your name from the 2026 counseling cycle.
• Deadline Reminder: All selections in the candidate profile and fee payments must be completed by January 29.

Conclusion

The updated status on the Consortium website marks a pivotal moment for students in the 2026-27 law admission cycle. As the second merit list stabilizes, the movement within the candidate profile becomes more significant, especially for those who were previously waitlisted. By staying vigilant and checking the portal regularly, aspirants can ensure they do not miss out on their preferred legal education destination due to administrative delays. The Consortium remains committed to a transparent digital process, with the next major update expected when the third list is published in early February.
