At this stage, there are only two possible situations. Your response now determines your admission outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If You\u2019re Allotted a Seat<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your name appears in the final merit list of CLAT 2026, it means you have secured a seat through central counselling. This allotment is final and cannot be upgraded further. To accept admission, you must Freeze the seat and pay the confirmation fee within the deadline.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no Float option in this round. Once frozen, you must complete the remaining admission formalities and pay the university fee directly to the allotted NLU.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Missing the deadline leads to automatic cancellation, and the seat will not be offered again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If You\u2019re Not Allotted a Seat<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your name does not appear in the CLAT 2026 fifth allotment list, the centralised counselling process ends for you. No further allotment lists will be released by the Consortium.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This does not end your chances of studying law for the year, but it does mean you must now rely on alternative options such as other law entrance exams, institutional vacancy rounds, private universities, or a planned reattempt. Waiting further without action can result in losing the academic year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Freeze and Exit Options in Final Allotment Round of CLAT 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Freeze Option (Mandatory to Accept the Seat)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Freeze option is compulsory if you want to accept the seat allotted in the fifth round. By freezing, you confirm admission and exit the counselling process permanently. You must pay the non-refundable confirmation fee within the given time window.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After freezing, you are required to pay the remaining university fee and follow the reporting and verification instructions issued by the allotted NLU. Freeze offers certainty and should be chosen immediately if you intend to join the allotted college.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exit Option<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Exit option is for candidates who do not wish to accept the seat allotted in the final round. Once you exit, your seat is cancelled and offered to another candidate through institutional processes, if applicable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will not be considered for any further CLAT counselling. Refund of the counselling registration fee depends on the official refund rules and the timing of exit. Exit should be chosen only after evaluating all other admission options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CLAT 2026 Counselling Fees After 5th Allotment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Fee Type<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Amount<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Applicable To<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Refundable<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Counselling Registration Fee (General)<\/td><td>\u20b930,000<\/td><td>All registered candidates<\/td><td>Yes (as per rules)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Counselling Registration Fee (Reserved)<\/td><td>\u20b920,000<\/td><td>SC\/ST\/OBC\/EWS\/PwD<\/td><td>Yes (as per rules)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Confirmation Fee<\/td><td>As notified by Consortium<\/td><td>Candidates choosing Freeze<\/td><td>No<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>University Fee<\/td><td>Varies by NLU<\/td><td>Candidates who Freeze<\/td><td>As per NLU policy<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Candidates who Freeze in the final round must pay the confirmation fee within the deadline.
