CLAT 2026 fifth merit list
The Consortium of NLUs released the CLAT 2026 fifth merit list on May 20, 2026 at 10 AM on consortiumofnlus.ac.in. The round 5 list is part of ongoing CLAT counselling for candidates who qualified CLAT 2026.
CLAT 2026 fifth merit list: what changed in Round 5
Round number is 5 and the merit list was published by the Consortium of NLUs on the official portal. Only candidates who have qualified CLAT 2026 and have not previously locked a seat are eligible for this allotment round.
The consortium has kept the counselling window active for students to accept, reject, or change preferences. The merit list page also mentions the documents required for admission, though the consortium's notice does not list them in detail on the announcement page.
CLAT 2026 fifth merit list — next steps for candidates
Qualified students who appear in the round 5 merit list can either freeze or float their allotted seat. The deadline to freeze or float a seat is May 25, 2026 by 1 PM ; actions after this time will not be accepted for round 5.
Students who take part in this allotment should log in to their counselling portal on consortiumofnlus.ac.in and follow the seat acceptance steps. Candidates must prepare the admission documents referenced on the portal for subsequent verification and reporting to allotted NLUs.
Official source and immediate impact
The Consortium of NLUs is the authority conducting CLAT counselling and released the merit list on the official website. For candidates still seeking admission, this round is critical: missing the May 25, 1 PM deadline can forfeit the opportunity to accept or alter the allotted seat in round 5.
What this announcement does not include
The round 5 notice does not provide an exact list of required documents, NLU-wise seat allotment details, or fee information on the announcement page. Candidates should check the counselling portal and the admission instructions on consortiumofnlus.ac.in for document verification steps and reporting requirements.
Short, factual updates like this are driven by the consortium's notices. Check the official portal for any further circulars or changes to counselling schedules.
