Candidates are required to select at least five NLUs in the order of preference before downloading the admit cards. The counselling and seat allotment process will largely depend on the NLUs selected by the candidates while exercising their options. They will not be considered for admission to only those NLUs for which they have given preference.

Therefore, it becomes important for candidates to know about the NLUs participating in CLAT 2023, courses and seats offered by them. The consortium has advised the candidates to go through the official brochure of the NLUs before selecting them in order to get complete information about courses, seats, facilities and infrastructure.

There are 22 NLUs participating in CLAT 2023. These NLUs offer 5-year integrated LLB programmes such as BA LLB, B.Com LLB, BBA LLB and BSc LLB. At the postgraduate level, these universities offer LLM programmes.
