Step 1: Go to the consortiumofnlus.ac.in official website.

Step 2: Log in with an application number and password upon arriving at the home page.

Step 3: Download the scorecard from inside, which would include the Candidate's name, Application and roll numbers, Section-wise marks, and Total marks, etc.

CLAT 2026 Score and Cutoffs

There are 120 questions in the CLAT 2026 exam structure, with 1 mark for each question; the total marks would be 120. For every wrong answer, there will be a deduction of 0.25 marks from the total score. Since the number of questions in this year has decreased from 150 to 120, the cutoffs for a good score in CLAT might have altered somewhat. Scores above 100+ in UG are needed by the very top NLUs like NLSIU Bangalore, whereas others like NLU Kolkata and NLU Jodhpur have their cut-offs in the 94-98 range.

Post result declaration, candidates will start the counseling and seat allotment process, which includes the following steps:

• Registration for the counseling sessions is conducted on the official website.

• Filling in of choices of NLUs preferred.

• Seat allotment according to rank and reservation policies.

• Reporting to the allocated NLUs for admission formalities.

For PG admissions, the final answer key and results are usually revised on the basis of court judgments, as in CLAT PG 2025. Any such update shall be notified officially on the official website.
