CLAT Registration Trends: Last 5 Years
CLAT registrations have grown sharply over the past five years. CLAT Registrations jumped from a low of 54,253 in 2023 to 92,344 in 2026 - the highest ever recorded- and roughly a 17% rise over 2025.
- The gap between registered and appeared students stays small, with UG attendance near 96% - meaning almost everyone who registers actually shows up.
- PG registrations have nearly doubled in this window, so competition for LLM seats is rising too.
- For CLAT 2026, around 57% of test takers were female and 43% male, with a small number of transgender students.
| CLAT Year | Students Registered | Students Appeared |
|---|---|---|
| CLAT 2022 | 60,895 | 56,472 |
| CLAT 2023 | 54,253 | 50,600 (approx.) |
| CLAT 2024 | 71,243 | 68,786 |
| CLAT 2025 | 78,914 | 75,361 |
| CLAT 2026 | 92,344 | 88,657 |
With roughly 3,200 UG seats across NLUs and over 90,000 registrations, fewer than 1 in 18 students get an NLU seat - so registering early and preparing both matter seriously.
What to Do After CLAT 2027 Registration?
Submitting the form is only the first step. Here is what you should do once your CLAT 2027 registration is complete.
- Save the confirmation page and fee receipt as a PDF for your records.
- Note your login credentials safely - you will need them to download the admit card and check the result.
- Track the admit card release, expected in the last week of November 2026, on the official portal.
- Begin focused preparation, since the Consortium has set up an Expert Committee under Justice Indu Malhotra to review the pattern from CLAT 2027 onwards.
- Keep checking the official website for any updates on dates, pattern, or syllabus changes.
Only students who complete the registration and pay the fee will be issued a CLAT 2027 admit card - an incomplete form means no hall ticket and no exam.
