CLAT 2027: Application Correction Window and Exam City Update Details

The Consortium of National Law Universities (NLUs) is expected to open the application correction window for the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) 2027 following the conclusion of the registration process. While official dates for this facility have not yet been released, the portal will allow registered candidates to review and modify specific details within their submitted forms.

The current registration phase for CLAT 2027 is scheduled to remain open until October 31, 2026, at 11:59 PM. Prospective students are advised to monitor the official website, consortiumofnlus.ac.in, for updates regarding the exact timeline for the correction window, which typically follows the close of the initial application period.

Important Updates Regarding Exam City Preferences

A critical update for this year’s examination cycle involves the list of designated test cities. The Consortium has officially removed Vellore and Tiruvarur from the list of available examination centres for CLAT 2027. Candidates who previously selected either of these locations as their preferred test city are required to update their choices. The deadline to modify these specific examination city preferences is October 31, 2026, coinciding with the final date for registration.

While the Consortium has not yet released the definitive list of fields that will be editable during the general correction window, past cycles suggest that candidates are typically permitted to update information such as personal details, including name and date of birth, as well as programme preferences and reservation eligibility. Students should log in to the official candidate portal using their registered credentials to access the correction interface once it becomes active.

Examination Schedule and Process

The Common Law Admission Test for 2027 is confirmed to take place on December 6, 2026. The examination will be conducted in an offline, pen-and-paper mode. Although historical trends from the 2025 and 2026 cycles indicate that the correction facility is usually provided shortly after the application deadline, these past schedules serve only as a reference. The Consortium reserves the right to determine the specific timeline for the 2027 session.

To make necessary adjustments, candidates should navigate to the official website, log in to their account, and select the designated edit or correction option. It is essential for applicants to ensure all information is accurate before final submission, as this window serves as the primary opportunity to rectify errors made during the initial registration process. Further instructions will be provided by the Consortium through official notifications on their website.
