The University of Allahabad conducts the Law Admission Test (AU LAT) for admission to its LLB 3-year and BA LLB 5-year integrated programmes. After the merit list is published, shortlisted students are called for offline counselling at the university campus for document verification, seat allotment and fee payment. Missing a mandatory document can lead to cancellation of the provisional seat allotment, so students must prepare their document folder carefully before the reporting date.

  • Carry originals plus two sets of self-attested photocopies for each document.
  • BA LLB (5-year) students need Class 12 documents; LLB (3-year) students additionally need graduation documents.

Key Instructions for Document Submission

Follow these instructions carefully to avoid rejection or loss of seat at AU LAT 2026 counselling:

  • Carry originals: Original documents are mandatory for verification. Photocopies alone will not be accepted.
  • Prepare two self-attested sets: Carry at least two complete sets of self-attested photocopies — the university retains one set, and you keep the second.
  • Ensure form-document consistency: Every detail — name, date of birth, category — must match exactly what you submitted in the AU LAT 2026 application form. Any mismatch can delay or cancel admission.
  • BA LLB vs LLB document difference: BA LLB 5-year students need Class 12 documents as qualifying proof. LLB 3-year students additionally need graduation degree and all semester marksheets.
  • Migration certificate for outstation students: If your qualifying exam is from a university other than Allahabad University, obtain a migration certificate from that institution before counselling.
  • Carry recent photographs: Photographs must be recent (taken within the last six months), on a white background, and identical to those uploaded in the application form.
  • Carry counselling call letter and seat allotment letter: Print and carry these documents — they are required at the venue gate and during the reporting process.
  • Report on time: Arrive at the counselling venue well before the scheduled time. Late arrivals may lose their allotted slot.
