CLAT Seat Allotment 2026

Once the CLAT 2026 seat allotment list is released, the students will get 3 options. They can either accept the allotted seats, request an upgrade for a seat or withdraw from the seat allotment process. To get more information on the CLAT seat allotment process, read the below options:

Freeze Option: Students who will be allotted seats during the CLAT seat allotment round can choose the "Freeze" option if they are happy with their assigned seats. Selecting this option during the counselling process means confirming their acceptance of the seat in the allotted National Law University (NLU). This choice indicates that they have finalised their seat allotment and do not wish to appear for subsequent rounds of CLAT 2026 counselling.

Float Option: Law aspirants who are not satisfied with their allocated seats can opt for the "Float" alternative, which means they want to participate in the next rounds of the counselling process. By selecting this choice, aspirants possess the flexibility to choose seats in any of the National Law Universities (NLUs) where they have been allotted seats and also maintain the possibility of an upgrade. Those who will utilise this option will be required to fulfil the fee payment for the allocated NLU.

Exit Option: The law students who are dissatisfied with their allocated seats can choose to “Exit” the CLAT seat allotment round. Opting for the exit alternative signifies that candidates are declining the allotted seat and will not be considered for further rounds of the CLAT 2026 counselling process.

You can fill out our Common Application Form for admission assistance to any college. For any admission-related queries, candidates can call on 1800-572-9877.
