Law Admission Counselling Continues Across National-Level Examinations

Law admission counselling activities across India remain in full swing this February. While CLAT 2026 Round 3 seat confirmation concludes tomorrow, NLU Delhi has finished its third-round formalities. Simultaneously, state-level entrances like MH CET Law have extended their registration windows. Aspirants must stay vigilant with digital verification protocols and fee deadlines to secure their provisional seats in the 2026-27 academic session.

The landscape of legal education in India is witnessing a high-intensity phase as counselling activities for the 2026-27 academic session accelerate across various jurisdictions. As of 11 February 2026, the administrative machinery for several national-level examinations is operating at peak capacity to process seat allotments and fresh registrations. The Consortium of National Law Universities is currently managing the final hours of its third provisional allotment window, while other premier institutes like NLU Delhi are transitioning into vacancy assessment phases. This synchronized momentum across multiple law portals ensures that thousands of law aspirants are moving closer to finalizing their professional journey.

National Merit Lists and Institutional Scrutiny

The primary focus of today’s activity is the CLAT 2026 seat confirmation process. Candidates who were featured in the third merit list have until 1:00 PM tomorrow to choose their "Freeze" or "Float" options. This national-level allotment requires a mandatory confirmation fee of ₹20,000, which acts as a security deposit for the provisional seat. Simultaneously, the National Law University Delhi has concluded its third-round fee deposit window for AILET 2026, shifting its focus toward the internal scrutiny of uploaded documents. These rigorous verification protocols are essential for maintaining the integrity of the merit-based selection system.

• Freeze/Float Deadline: Tomorrow, February 12, at 1:00 PM for CLAT Round 3.
• AILET Status: The third-round fee payment window for BA LLB and LLM closed on February 10.
• Verification Standards: Institutes are utilizing encrypted portals to verify academic transcripts and category certificates in real-time.
• Academic Hiatus: A brief pause in national counselling is expected after this week, with the fourth allotment lists scheduled for May 2026.

State-Level Extensions and Fresh Opportunities

While national allotment lists dominate the headlines, state-level authorities are opening new doors for those who missed the central entrance window. The State Common Entrance Test Cell, Maharashtra, has recently revised its schedule, providing a final extension for the MH CET Law 2026 registration. This extension is a vital synchronization point for candidates who are balancing multiple law entrance calendars. Similarly, the Telangana Council of Higher Education has activated its registration portal for TG LAWCET, further contributing to the nationwide admission momentum.

Digital Compliance: Most state portals now require a "Digital Locker" approach for the scrutiny of migration and domicile certificates.

• Provisional Offers: All current seat allocations remain subject to the successful completion of university-level allotment formalities.
• Refund Rules: Full refunds for the initial counselling registration fee are generally processed only if no seat is allotted by the final round in June.

Conclusion

As the 11 February deadlines for multiple registration and counselling windows approach, students must maintain a high degree of administrative vigilance. The synchronization between national merit lists and state registration portals is designed to maximize opportunities, but it requires careful timing and financial planning. Whether it is the final formalities of the CLAT third list or the fresh applications for the 3-year LLB programs, the current phase is the most decisive period for the 2026-27 law admissions. Aspirants are encouraged to regularly monitor the Official Law Admission Portals to ensure their digital dossiers are compliant with the evolving scrutiny standards. Successfully navigating these hurdles ensures that the student’s academic momentum is sustained as they head toward the commencement of classes this July.
